There are termites eating the beam that was installed in our condo.

Me: "... you mean the steel pier that replaced the wood beam?"
Owner: "Yes"
Me: "Well mam, termites can not eat steel."
Owner: "These are!"
Me: "How do you know?"
Owner: "I found sawdust on the floor."
Me: "Two things: one, steel would not leave sawdust and two, when termites eat wood, they *eat* the wood. They don't make crumbs as that is exactly what they are eating."
Owner: "Have the exterminator meet me and I will show him that they are termites."
