I would be checking for any damp rotting woodwork inside the
house.

I know that, so I was most surpised to find loads of them under a concrete
hearth that I lifted out of my mates old house last week. This had concrete
floors as well.

I was removing some loose rendering about 12 feet up the house wall a
few months back and found a family of them underneath (between brick
and render).
