I think I have termites on my crepe myrtle. I remember it shed lots of it's bark a few months ago which I thought was normal (maybe not related to this).

Today I see these insects in a few spots. They're gross. Are they termites?
I need an exterminator. Anyone use Bug Time?

Looks like bark lice. If it is they are supposed to be beneficial in some way.

@ginx : I think it was Aptive who caught me outside one day. Kind of pushy about signing me up. No thanks.

@lola : I have a big crape myrtle in my front yard and it gets those bugs every year. This has been going on for 33 years. They bite all the bark off and what looks gross is the bark that peels off the tree and you have to pull the rest of it off. Always fun. They don't seem to hurt the tree though. I just throw the bark away until the end of july. That's when they go away.
