Termites, they are sometimes referred to as white ants.Termites are one of the insects that can efficiently degrade lignocellulose in the natural environment. They belong to Arthropoda, Insecta, Winged subclass, and are semi metamorphosed and completely social insect.
Termites are distributed on two-thirds of the Earth's land area, with most of them concentrated in tropical and subtropical regions.
Termites need 3 things: moisture from the soil, food from wood, and privacy.
These pests can digest cellulose wood fibers; a characteristic that differentiates them from other insects. Their need for privacy means they like to tunnel within your walls.
Termite feeding areas are called “galleries.”
Termites can build nests above and below the soil, and usually near wooden walls. The nests are called “cartons.”
Termite life cycles begin with mating, fertilization by king termites, and egg-laying by queen termites to form new colonies.
Next, the eggs hatch as white larvae. Then, they develop to become soldiers, workers, or “reproductives” (Produced inmature colonies).
Mud tubes – Drinking-straw-sized flat, muddy “tube” along baseboards, behind siding, near plumbing fixtures, floors, or in cracks.
