I'm basically freaking out.
If it's termites does this mean I have termites eating my damn house.
I'm going to die.
I'll never sleep again.

Do ants eat trees til they fall apart like this one has?

Agree with Allen. Maple with fire ants in a termite den. Time to cut the tree down?

Termites are everywhere. As long as you don't see mud tunnels on the foundation, your house is safe. If worried, call the pest guy for an inspection. Be prepared for a hard sell.

The way the remainder of the tree is leaning... It's aimed straight for my house.
Can we save the tree or does it need to come down?

I hate sales men.

I've walked the perimeter of the house and I don't see any tunnels or bugs or anything along the foundation.
