I have a century home that I just noticed some of the wood joists in the basement are beginning to look eaten. Thinking they are termites. Is this something that needs a professional or can I stop the termites?

These came back from a termite inspection. The one pile is from outside under the deck. Should I be concerned? Termites have been removed for a while but this is previous damage. I have no experience with termites.

I live in the Nashville area and I am a new RE investor (mainly buy & hold/rent). As a home owner in the south, we have always heard - "it's not IF you will get termites, it is WHEN you will have them". So as I ...
