Worldwide there are around 2,600 species of termites.<\/p>\n<p>Termites are grouped into basic categories: Dampwood, dry wood, subterranean, Formosan.<\/p>\n<p>Termites are often known as the \u201csilent destroyer\u201d as they secretly hide and attack our home and cause damage.<\/p>\n<p>Termites generally like dark areas where they are not exposed to light and air thus requires a source of moisture to survive. Termites eat the dead plant, wood, paper, waste etc. making them destructive pests when they enter at home.<\/p>\n<p>At our home termites will usually form a nest in walls, ceiling, wooden furniture, kitchen trolleys, or under the house.<\/p>\n<p>Termites make their own colonies and each colony will consist of workers, soldiers, and reproductive termites. The soldiers are the one who defends the colony from other termites; the workers do the feeding and building of the nest, and the reproductive termite is the one which lay eggs.<\/p>\n<p>When no signs of the infestation are noticed at the early stage the damage can occur to a high level, thus affects the structure of the house and damage the other items from the house.<\/p>\n<p>Are termites harmful to human?<\/p>\n<p>Yes, termites are harmful to humans as they always carry fungus on themselves due to which a person may suffer from allergic reaction, asthma attack and cause irritation when it gets in contact with our skin or a burning sensation occurs on our skin.<\/p>\n<p>The below news articles gives the evidence for the termite&#8217;s nuisance,<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Call Collett: Termites infest Hanahan home<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Posted:<\/strong>\u00a0Jun 14, 2018 08:05 AM EDT<\/p>\n<p>Termites infested the family\u2019s Hanahan home two years ago.\u00a0 With the siding off to investigate, termites were found in walls, the floor, the windows, in the master bedroom and bathroom.<\/p>\n<p>There were remnants on the front stairs.

Swarms of the small flying bugs were out across the New Orleans metro area Sunday night (May 6), and we&#8217;ve got some pictures and videos to prove it.<\/p>\n<p>Formosan termites are small, cinnamon-colored bugs. They were introduced to New Orleans and elsewhere in the U.S. after World War II, and have wreaked havoc on New Orleans buildings over the decades. They swarm when they\u2019re ready to mate, and generally travel no more than about 300 yards from their nest.<\/p>\n<p>Pesticides do not work against termites as they are not effective.
