Termites are “social insects”, i.e., they live in a nest or colony which is typically found underground, often near a tree, stump, wood pile or other source of ‘food’. Each colony contains a king and queen who are brown in color. Termites are very common household pests. These insects can be very destructive to one?s home and wood-based items. Termites are detrivores, or detritus feeders. They feed on dead plants and trees as well as dead parts of living trees, including wood and wood in the soil.

Termites are most closely related to cockroaches. In fact, they have their own insect order: Isoptera. Termites are small organisms that live underneath the ground. These subterranean organisms construct small structures that retain enough moisture for their survival. Termites are sometimes called white ants, but they are actually not ants at all. Both ants and termites are insects belonging to the infraclass Neoptera in the subclass Pterygota .

Termites are not really a problem in your country because you are residing in a cold place. Termites survive in hot countries. Termites are social insects meaning that they have a heirarchy and live in a nest as opposed to being solitary. They feed and cooperate with eachother for the success of the colony. Termites are able to digest cellulose, and some species can also digest lignin, with the assistance of symbiotic intestinal protozoa and bacteria. Many termites also have symbiotic relations with nitrogen-fixing bacteria.
