Leave it like it is and call an extermiator and have them take a look at it. They will inspect the whole house for free. I'd not call Terminex or Okin, stick with a local company.

Get a stud finder and see if the hole lines up with a stud or an open bay--- I wouldn't ignore this one--- __________________ New members: Adding your location to your profile helps in many ways.--M--
