Termite

Termites are small, social insects known for their wood-eating habits. They live in colonies and are often mistaken for ants due to their similar appearance. Termites play a crucial ecological role by breaking down dead trees and other plant materials, recycling nutrients back into the soil. However, they can also cause significant damage to wooden structures in homes and buildings. There are several species of termites, each with different diets and habitats, but they primarily thrive in warm, moist environments. Effective pest control is important to manage them and protect property.
