Found some small pen dot sized holes in the corner of one of my upstairs bedroom ceilings. Thought at first bad paint job by previous owner, but this morning saw some critters milling about. Also notices on the floor below a bunch of dead ones.
My first thought was oh no termites, but these look like ants to me.
Can anyone help me out? Very much appreciate the time!
