Hi group, have some damage to the door frame and skirting board. It's a side door to the laundry area. Only has a security door. I had a termite inspection (note drill hole) which came back negative. Pest control suggested wood rot. However, seems to be degrading fast for wood rot. Within a few weeks the damage to the skirting board occurred. I notice some sort of saliva-like material. I'm wondering, could this be some other sort of insect? Or even mice/rats? Could they get in, find this nice soft wood, and gnaw on it?
Thanks all for any feedback! Apologies for the photo bomb.
Located in northeast Melbourne.
