Termites constitute a separate order of insects called 'ISEPTORA'. Although, they are commonly called white ants, they are not related to ants. The front pair of wings of the ants are longer than their hind pair whereas in termites, both pairs are equal. There are over 2300 species of termites of which about 220 are found in India. All these species are not considered to be serious pests. A termite colony consists of a pair of reproductive, the so-called king and queen and a large number of sterile workers, soldiers, and nymphs. If, however, the queen is lost or destroyed, her place taken by a number of supplementary [productive in some group of termites;
How to Harm
As the damage likely to be caused by the termites is huge. Wood is one of the cellulosic materials which termites damage, cellulose forming their basic nutrient.
They also damage materials of organic origin with a cellulosic base, household articles like furniture, furnishings, clothings, stationery, etc. Termites are also known to damage non-cellulosic substances in their search for food. Rubber, leather, plastics, neoprene as well as lead coating used for covering of underground cables are damaged by termites.
