dung, leaf litter, soil etc.

9. The mud tubes are about the diameter of a
pencil but can sometimes be thicker. Make
an opening on one of these tubes and you
may be able to see your intruders, if you
don't see any of them does not mean that
it is an inactive infestation as their colonies
may be found underground.
