Subterranian termites, the most common kind, live in the soil, from just below the surface to as much as 12 feet down. Up to two million termites inhabit the colony. These colonies consist of a network of tunnels and chambers built around a King and Queen whose sole job is to reproduce. In fact, many as 55 termite species, queens can lay up to 86,000 eggs a day.

Termites work their way by feeding on cellulose commonly found, but not limited to wood. They could also be feasting on wallpapers, books, furniture, anything where cellulose is found. They are very difficult to detect because they are destroying things inside out. Some may even find damages to structures that are too late to be salvaged and repaired forcing them to discard and lose money. It is therefore necessary for responsible home owners to take precautionary steps in dealing with termites.
