The good news... I don't think they're termites. (to big)

Maybe moth larva.

Not termites.

Good news. Thanks. Now, how to get rid of them other than just wiping away with a paper towel?

You need to get your house fumigated by a pro... Or you could use a few of those bomb things in your roof space.

If it was my place I would call a pro.

Very unlikely - termites can't stand light and are lighter in color - at least the ones I'm familiar with.

look up carpet beetles

Look like brown moths to me. Very common. If it gets to be a problem, there are traps you can get that deal with the very effectively. We had them when we first moved into our current home.

BTW, they are commonly referred to as 'pantry moths'.

I disagree.

If they are 'pantry moths', you can easily deal with them by putting in pheromone traps. When the moths hatch, the males are draw to the traps. We used the traps for 2 years, always in the spring. They were very effective. It killed off all of them, and we had a terrible infestation. No nasty chemical residues in the home either.

We got them from this company.

Some countrys would consider that a snack...

Not to worry, just maggots.

This is correct.

Dermestidae (Carpet Beetles)

Aren't carpet beetles really bad?

Those look a lot like Weevils. They usually come in either rice or flour and look like little maggots until they change.

Based on the location you found them (dinette) that would be my best guess. Check your packaged rice and flour for the critters. If correct, google weevil eradication.

If those are in the pantry what's in his roof space?

Check all your dry foodstuffs. You will find the source in one of them.

oatmeal is a favorite place for them, also the spice area. they usually leave a silky mess behind where they have been like whitefly silk. They also like parakeet mix.

Not termites. We had em a couple years ago. Looked zackly like that. Crunchy little buggers ;)

Check your flour, rice, pancake mix, cerial, etc. Anything they can get into. We keep all that stuff in air-tight containers now and no more bugs.

They look like bugs to me.

To scorpions, however, they look like food.
