Termites Bay Welcome! Step In And Learn More About Them
I’ve always loved Siamese cats. Elegant, sleek, sociable, mischievous, loyal and intelligent, they combine the grace of panthers, the style of Vogue models, piercing cornflower-blue eyes and a Lassie-like devotion with extraordinary communication skills and, of course, those unforgettable voices.<br>
As you can tell, I’m hooked. Once those Meezers* get their claws into your heart they don’t let go. (And then, having stolen your heart, they’ll go on to steal your lunch too, given half a chance!)

What are termites
Termites are small, social insects that live in large colonies and feed mainly on cellulose, a substance found in wood, plants, and paper. Because of their diet, they are sometimes called “silent destroyers” since they can chew through wood, flooring, and even wallpaper without being noticed until serious damage has been done.
Here’s a quick breakdown:
Appearance: They look similar to ants but are usually pale, soft-bodied, and straight-waisted (unlike ants, which have narrow waists).
Social Structure: Colonies are highly organized and include a king, queen, workers, and soldiers.
Habitat: They live underground, in soil, inside wood, or in moist, dark environments.
Diet: Their main food source is cellulose from wood, paper, cardboard, and plant material.
Types: The most common are subterranean termites (live in soil), drywood termites (live inside dry wood), and dampwood termites (prefer moist wood).
While termites are destructive to homes and buildings, in nature they play an important role by recycling dead plant material and enriching the soil.
