Default Bugger, got termites!

Was shifting some stuff around just and found a bongo drum my sister bought back from South America somewhere (or might have been Africa) Anyways, lifted it off the cupboard near the roof and walked around the house giving it a good old bash (as you do when you find a bongo )

Anyway, I lifted the cupboard down and found this





you can see the holes they have eaten in the wood!

Now i'm waiting for the house to fall down

No idea, cant find any actual termites, but the chances are they are scattered somewhere around the house from my session (the bottom of the drum is a big hole so they would have dropped straight out
