Termite
Even the mention of a termite can send terror into the heart of a homeowner. Many people
know that a termite can cause huge damage to a home and when you take one termite and add
it to another termite and then another and another and another, you might find yourself with a
home that is not only unsound but extremely difficult to sell and live in. Many people know
about the termite, but not many people know specifics about this pesky insect.
A termite – also known as a white ant – is a member of a group of social insects much like
regular ants. They most often feed on dead plant material including wood, leaf litter, and soil.
