Starting of a New Colony
| Termites swarm in the early spring months when environmental conditions such as temperature, moisture, and light are suitable. Worker termites construct mud tubes and usher swarmer termites out for their annual mating season. Formosan termites swarm in the evening hours between the months of April-July. Native termites swarm in February-April. |
Food and Foraging
| Foraging termites consume cellulose material, the most common source of which is wood. Native termites can forage up to 225 feet from the colony in the soil. Formosan termites can forage up to 450 feet from the colony. Once enough wood has been consumed by the Formosan termites, they form above ground nests referred to as carton nests which retain moisture and allow the above ground termites to function independant from the parent colony in the soil. |
