Termites live in big groupings known as colonies. They eat all day and night with no stops. There are several termite species in this area, but they all have similar feeding and activity behaviours. The worker termites wreak havoc on your house or company by eating away at the structural timber. Winged termites, also known as reproductive, alates, or swarmers, eventually depart to create a new colony. When the reproductive termites locate a spot that provides the moisture and food supply they require, they lose their wings and become the king and queen of a new colony.

Dampwood termites and drywood termites are two types of termites. According to entomologists, wet woodlands are home to some of the biggest termites, and they prefer to feed on damp or moist wood. Dampwood termites do not have a “worker” group; instead, they all work together as equals. Because termites like wet environments, they are more likely to be found in bathrooms or basements.
