Termites are social creatures who stick together no matter what else happens. They continue to work as a hive rather than as individuals.
It’s because of this that termites gather in the thousands. If you have an infestation within your own home, chances are good that you’re dealing with several thousand termites at once.
The biggest colony of termites had an estimated 3 million termites!
There are a lot of termites in the world. Not only in terms of species but also in terms of sheer volume. For example, if you collected every single termite together into one place, they’d outweigh the entire human population.
Collected termites weigh an estimate of about 445 million tons. Humans only weigh up to about 350 million tons.
Most termite colonies burrow their way into massive underground tunnels and channels. That’s where most species enjoy spending their time since a lot of termites hate bright lights.
But some termites do enjoy the sunlight. They create enormous nesting mounds that reach as far as 30 feet above the ground.
Most of the time, termites are silent and destructive, causing havoc to homes without any clues. At least with a nest this large, you’ll know what you’re dealing with without any doubt!
