Termite, in short.
That one fact rules out a great deal of the termite advice on the internet, most of which is written for regions with drywood termites. There are no pellets to find here, no frass piles in an attic, and anything claiming to spot activity above ground level is describing a different insect.
What actually matters is at and below the slab. Mud tubes, swarmers near light, damaged wood at the sill, and the moisture and buried timber that feed a colony in the first place. These guides stay on that ground.
