Facts About Termites

Did you know that termites are some of the most efficient decomposers in nature? They play a crucial role in breaking down dead wood and other plant materials, returning nutrients to the soil. There are over 2,000 species of termites, living in colonies that can number in the millions. Each colony has a complex social structure with a queen, king, workers, and soldiers. Termites communicate through chemical signals and vibrations. Despite their ecological benefits, termites can also cause significant damage to wooden structures.
