Subterranean termite colonies count 1-1.5 million, drywood termite colonies 5-6 thousand. www.primetermite.com 800-205-6707

I used "tom's theory of terminilogy"

It is usually rare for ant and termite colonies to interact, but in situations where the two colonies come into contact it depends on the species, size, and type of the two insects. In many cases, though, the more aggressive ant species will consume the termite colony.
Isoptera
about 9 thousand in each termite
Some species can spray a chemical out of their snout, such as nasute termites

mutualism is when 2 organisms benefit from each other. the termite benefits from the Trychonympha because the Trychonympha breaks down the CELLULOSE in the wood that the termites eat, which helps the digestive system "clear out". The Trychonympha benefits from the termite because the Trychonympha gets CELLULASE from the termite, which is the thing in the Trychonympha that actually does the "breaking down" of the cellulose. Without eachother, they wouldn't be able to survive.

A plant. It is nt a plant, it is actually a kinda present in some termites which help them to digest the food the eat.it is a bacteria in the stomach of termites that help them digest the wood. -----prince
Yes, the yellow pages has many listings for termite exterminators, though you may have to search for them under the alternate headings of "pest control" or "termite control."
Orkin and Prime Termite are a couple of pest control companies which offer free termite inspections. There are many other companies which offer this free service as well.
