The speed of termite elimination can vary depending on the type of termite, size of the colony and the treatment method. It could take a few weeks or even months to eradicate the entire colony.
Termites can be major agricultural pests, particularly in East Africa and North Asia, where crop losses can be severe (3–100% in crop loss in Africa). [262] Counterbalancing this is the greatly improved water infiltration where termite tunnels in the soil allow rainwater to soak in deeply, which helps reduce runoff and consequent soil erosion ...
The eastern subterranean termite (R. flavipes) is the most widely distributed Reticulitermes species. [2] It occurs throughout the eastern United States, including Texas, [3] and can be found as far north as southern Ontario. [4] In 2006, R. flavipes was also recorded in Oregon, [5] on the West coast of the United States.
The eastern subterranean termite (Reticulitermes flavipes) is the most widely distributed termite found in the eastern United States. R. flavipes is commonly found in southern Ontario, and is found in all the eastern states including Texas, extending as far south as Mexico City and as far west as Arizona, with likely accidental introductions on ...
The Kalotermitidae are "primitive" in morphology, nesting behavior, and social organization. Unlike other termite species, they have no need to make contact with soil [1] and live exclusively within excavations in wood, lacking elaborate nesting architecture. [2] Drywood termites have an adaptive mechanism for conserving water.
Heterotermes aureus, commonly known as the desert subterranean termite, [1] is a species of termite in the family Rhinotermitidae. It is native to the deserts of North America where the colony has an underground nest.
Zootermopsis angusticollis is a species of termite in the family Archotermopsidae, a group known as the Pacific dampwood termites, or the rottenwood termites. [1] As their name suggests, the dampwood termites can only survive by living off of wood that contains high amounts of moisture.
In 2000, Darlington donated 155 termite samples from her collection to the UF Fort Lauderdale Research and Education Center, and Scheffrahn began looking through the samples and taking photos of ...
