    Strange Mud Tubes on Shed

    I found what looks like mud tunnels running up the foundation of my shed, thin little tubes maybe pencil width. Should I be concerned or is this just normal desert bug stuff?

    That's termite mud tubes, not normal desert stuff, don't ignore it. They build those tubes to travel between the soil and the wood without drying out.

    Doesn't mean the shed's a total loss but you do need a pest control company out to actually inspect and treat it, this isn't a DIY spray-and-hope situation once they're established.

    In the meantime don't knock the tubes down, leave evidence for the inspector to see exactly what's going on. Good luck, wish I had better news!
