Little dirt tower that has appeared over the past few days next to my bed. I noticed a tiny dirt pile a few days ago, and over a few days has constructed itself into a perfect 5-6 inch delicate little dirt tower. In Kenya if that helps.

A: As you know, there are different kinds of termites in East Africa. Some grow fungus and harvest it, some eat wood, some eat wet wood, grass and leaves that are decaying, and among all those, some grow enormous towers up to 15 feet high. Some are subterranean. What you have here is a little tower where a wood-eating colony is starting to eat your home.
