  It's those little suckers who commute to your timbers daily that do
   a great deal of damage, Todd. I'd call for a backup opinion right
   smartly, before the sounds of nocturnal chewing bring the house down
   about my ears.
   If your wood is very dry, then those mud tunnels from ground level up
   are the only way the termites get sufficient moisture. If you have no
   tunnels, or damp runways (which should be visible) on blocks, posts
   or whatever you use for foundation, then, and only then, would I slow
   down in my mad dash to phone the exterminators. :-)
