 | | Termites have biting mouthparts and are soft-bodied, of moderate to small size. | | | A termite (also known as a white ant) is any member of the order Isoptera, a group of social insects that eat wood and other cellulose-rich vegetable matter. | | | When termites have already penetrated a building, removing their means of access and destroying the colony with fumigation are usually effective means of stopping further damage. |

| | Termites are soft-bodied social insects living in large colonies which include one or more queens (of relatively enormous size and producing an egg every two seconds), much smaller kings, and still smaller soldiers, workers, and immature forms. | | | One group of African termites, the Macrotermitinae, constructs fungus gardens, within the nest, by infecting its own faeces with a special fungus that digests the faeces and renders them edible. | | | The wood is broken down in their stomachs by numerous micro-organisms living in symbiosis with their hosts. |

| | Like ants, wasps and bees, termites are social insects. | | | Termites are able to digest cellulose, and some species can also digest lignin, with the assistance of symbiotic intestinal protozoa and bacteria. | | | The body plan or morphology of termites is rather simple indicating that they diverged very early in insect evolution from a generalized insect ancestor with gradual metamorphosis and the ability to fold the wings flat over the back. |

| | Termite |
| | Termites are occasionally confused with winged ants (Hymenoptera: Formicidae): termites have body segments that are similar in width, hair-like (filiform) antennae and, when present, four wings of equal length; ants have narrow waists, elbowed antennae and forewings that are longer than hind wings. | | | Reproductive termites can develop from nymphs with wing pads (primary reproductives) as well as from false worker nymphs (secondary nymphoid repro- ductives or tertiary ergatoid reproductives) in the absence of primary reproductives due to the death of the queen or colony fractionation. | | | Termite workers eat cellulose-containing materials found in plant products, which is digested by a one-celled animal (Protozoan) living in their digestive system. |

| | Termites are social insects with a highly organized caste system, much like ants or bees. | | | Once the termites have been detected in the stations, the bait is changed to use a bait that has been treated with a termiticide which, when carried to the colony or nest and fed to other members of the colony, will kill the individuals that receive the bait. | | | Subterranean termites are often detected during swarming, usually in the spring, when some fly from their nests to start new colonies. |
