Sorry, but I got bad news for you

https://www.terminix.com/termite-con...ite-droppings/

Drywood termites can cause major damage for many homeowners, especially those who live in the southeastern, southwestern and western United States and Hawaii. Unlike their subterranean counterparts, drywood termites don’t nest in the soil. Rather, they nest in actual wood, which can include the lumber — or even the furniture — in your home.

One sign that you might have drywood termites in your house is finding termite droppings or frass. Learn how to identify frass, so that you can call on Terminix® the minute you suspect you might have a pest problem.

Is it OK in general to see occasionally some insects inside the house that might look like termites?
Sometimes I see unidentified insects on a floor. Only few individuals, about every other month (not always).
They look similar to termites, but not quite the same.
I looked at the internet pictures, couldn't identify those insects.
No droppings around the house whatsoever.
