Termites or "White Ants" are the most serious wood destroying pest. Their activities are apparent throughout the country. They are social insects, and live as a colony. They construct above or under ground nests and live as a colony in it. Termite workers search food making tunnels through soil or through constructions made by humans. The termites make long galleries through the earth, possibly through the walls of buildings until wood work is located where the tunneling continued in to the timber until woodwork collapse. In most instances, there is no external evidence of their activity or in some cases, mud tunnels are visible on surface of walls.

The Key Facts About Termites
Soil in tropical countries is usually associated with soil termites. They frequently attack new and existing buildings without your knowledge. This can go to the extent of replacement of whole roofing timber and ceiling within few months of infestation.
Destruction of pantry cupboards is more common in untreated buildings. Wooden staircases, timber paneling, wall cupboards, wooden door and window frames are easily subjected to termite attack.
Soil termites live as colonies in soil. The queen lays thousands of eggs per day and produces mainly worker, and soldier termites. As per the need of the colony, alate termites are also produced. Workers forage for cellulose or wood base material in your building. They crawl to roofs, even in multi storied structures through plaster, conduits and other means. The earthen tubes that are seen behind a cupboard or wet and silent places are the evidence of the termite attacks.
In common cases the thin gap between the floor concrete and the wall provides the path for the termites to invade into the buildings. Alate termites, "meru" that swarm during the end of the dry season of the year is a obvious signs of the presence of termite colonies in your vicinity.
