I hope to be moving soon the basement of the new house had some kind of workroom that I'm removing to put in my game room. The 2x4's on the floor all look like the one in this photo. None of the boards above them have any marks and it's only the underside that touched the floor. At first I thought the boards were just rotting away because of moisture but as you can see from the photo something was eating the boards. I looked at all of them and I could not find anything that looked like a living or dead bug just a lot of dust. I saw a post about termites but after reading it I don't think it's termites. I'm removing all the wood to be on the safe side I have to leave the steps but I don't want to take any chances before I move my games in I want to treat the basement. I don't see any bugs but I'm not going to risk it so I want to treat it then paint then treat it again then paint again. What do you guys think it is and what's the best way to treat it? Thanks for any help on this.
