Termites???

Hi, we have a house in Charente Maritime which we visit quite frequently. We were last there at Christmas when we noticed some small brownish "droppings" sporadically on surfaces downstairs - we weren't aware of any upstairs. Before Christmas we were at our house at the beginning of November and there was no evidence of anything then. At first we thought perhaps it was mouse droppings but could find no other evidence that mice were around. I also thought they may be something to do with spiders.

On returning to the UK, my wife has been searching the internet to see if she could throw any light. She is now panicking because she thinks they may be termite pellets. Does anyone know whether this is really likely? We bought the property 3 years ago and have the termite report to say there was no evidence of termites then.

Any help or advice gratefully received! Many thanks
