There are four major types of termites: drywood termites, subterranean termites, mound and arboreal termites, and dampwood termites.
Termites are social insects living in colonies within a caste structure. Castes consist of alates (winged- adults), reproductives, workers and soldiers. Workers are most numerous in the colony and are responsible for food collection. Alates are responsible for dispersal and reproduction. Soldiers are responsible for the defense of the colony.
There are three general developmental stages: egg, immature, and adult.
Termites feed on wood and products made of wood or wood-derived material. Wooden structures in buildings, wooden furniture, books and paper are some products that can be totally destroyed by the feeding activities of termites.
