Did You Know?

Ants and termites are enemies. Ants are the number one predator and competition for termites. Termite and ant colonies that are near each other will go to war over territory and access to food.

Termites never sleep. They build their colonies 24 hours a day, every day.

Termites are hygienic. Termite colonies will spend the majority of their day grooming one another in order to prevent disease.

Termites use vibrations to communicate with one another. When soldier termites sense a threat, they tap or bang their heads against the colony’s tunnel walls. This vibration sends a warning to the rest of the colony.

Termites eat wood, wallpaper, plastics, and fabric made from plants.

Subterranean termites need contact with soil to survive. They live underground in colonies or in wet areas aboveground. They build tunnels to reach food.
