Termites
Termites, popularly known as white ants, are found in groups in tropical and sub-tropical countries. They are very fast in eating wood and other cellulosic materials as food. They also damage non-cellulosic materials like plastics, leather, etc. The term termite-proofing is used to indicate the treatment which is given to a building. This is done to prevent or control the growth of termite in a building. Termites are of two types, viz., dry wood termites and subterranean termites.
