These guys started showing up yesterday and immediately placed these liquid traps down. Hoping they’ll bring the back to the colony and wipe them out. Anyone have good experience with this?
Are these carpenter ants?

So we got some amateur plumbing going on here right? We bought this house a couple months ago and so far so good but we just had a decent leaks the towel we had down got soaked and I’m not sure where it came from.
Every plumber I’ve shown was like “lol wtf is this” when they’ve been here for different reasons. Looks like amateur plumbing to me. I mean wtf is that duck tape doing?? I think there could be a pinhole leak in the copper pipe ? There wasn’t like a lot of water but the towel we had down was SOAKED. I’m not sure what it came from. Sometimes when we have dumped too much water in the sink we had some lakes from the drainage pvc not the copper. But dampness from water could be seen in the basement by the copper pipe circled.
We wanna get a whole new sink, fix the amateur plumbing soon but any ideas on what could be causing the water all of a sudden? I know it’s a shot in the dark but any advice is good advice.
That dark line is fresh and a little damp but the wood is solid and I got a fan blowing on it to dry it out. I’ll hit it with some strong white vinegar tomorrow and dry it out again.
Hello. I know I can’t really ask if this is asbestos but what are my odds it could be? Kinda nervous. I moved in December.
Western Massachusetts, this is in the basement. House built 1976. No idea when tile or original wood burning stove was put in.
The tile used to have an old wood stove that was recently taken out which caused a couple broken tiles. The tile and stove were here when I bought the house.The black mastic is from old carpet which was removed before I moved in and doesn’t concern me really.
I live in western Massachusetts and my house was built in 1976. I had an old wood burning stove here that recently got removed which cracked some tiles.
The black mastic was from where carpet was but I’m not concerned about that because it’s not being disturbed. I am a little concerned about the tile area because of the couple that broke and came up.
