Telltale termite tidbits. When conditions are less than suitable, an individual colony may swarm several times over several weeks, releasing only a portion of the swarmers each time. To cross substrates like concrete, termites build mud tubes to travel between the soil and the food source. Look for them along the foundation of your house. Native species in a colony consisting of 250,000 workers can consume approximately one cubic foot of wood per year.
Formosan termites can build carton nests in wall and floor spaces.
