Is this termite damage? There's diagonal tan steak on the wood. When I tap the stud with a screw driver it feels solid. I don't see any tubes. Is it termite mud or simply dirt? How do I tell? enter image description here

  • That streak on the wood...Do you have a tall dog? I'd take a hammer and your screw driver and drive it in the stud about 1" in 3-4 places. If it's solid, I'd keep you dog outside.

    Doesn't look like any termite damage I have ever seen. Commented Apr 16, 2017 at 20:12
  • I contacted my pest control company. It wasn't termites-- simply construction dirt from 50 yrs ago.
