Termites have been around dinosaur age and the evidence supports the theory, they evolved from wood Roach. They are similar to bees and ants as they live and work in the social order. A colony of those pesky little critters include King and Queen on eggs, soldiers, workers reproductives and nymphs. Lady can live for 20 to 30 years and has the capacity to be egg every 15 seconds. The majority of termites in each colony are workers. Workers live in about 4 or 5 years, without rest or sleep, and working with food up to the rest of the colony. They feed 24 hours a day, usually within a radius of 300 to 400 foot around their colony for food.They eat everything cellulose as dead wood, a fallen tree limbs, mulching, boards, buried pieces of wood, drywall and cartons and almost everything else they can sink their teeth into. after they eat their fill, they return the colony and regurgitate their food for other termites to enjoy.
There are about 4 000 different species of termites and only about 10% is a threat to buildings, forests and agriculture. Subterranean termites come from 3 to 12 colonies beneath the ground. If they cannot go through something, they will build mud tubes to work around what they cannot obtain and bring their association with them.Critters usually remain PUT while the supply of food is rich but outside force will run them from home, when they move the termites swarm and fly the next location. After unloading typically lose their wings and continues on life in the colony in the usual manner.
Swarmy little buggers live in colonies million or more. They may not hear or see in the traditional manner, but have other ways to communicate through vibrations, and chemicals. This allows them to find food sense danger and shall perform other functions.They communicate by chemicals such as pheromones.Is a substance that they secrete to indicate the source of food, a signal at danger or choose mates.Each colony had its own unique smell. to alert other members of the colony, they will strike his head against the wall, mud tube what eat or, in certain cases, any other party. If sufficient termites are pressing which something at the same time, the noise is audible to the human ear. If you think you hear something that is "bump" in the night, it may have been a colony of termites coupons hearty in your home.
