How do termites start to interfere with wood in the house?
Termites start their action from the basement. So that the movements are not easily recognized until one of them can be seen by our eyes directly. For example, suddenly there is a hole in the attic like the rest of termites.
Or when we see that our cabinets are porous and weak, basically termites will only be known to exist after we see signs of destruction on the wood directly. If you see it, it means that the house you live in now has humidity, perfect temperature, food, and can be used as a favorite place for termites. Because in order to survive, termites must live in a place where the temperature is perfect for them.

From what we know, termites do eat wood. Especially dead wood. But do the cores from wood to termites like it? Termite colonies feed on wood to obtain cellulose and nutrients that allow them to survive. In the intestines of termites there are bacteria and protozoa that can be used to break down cellulose in wood. Cellulose is universally found in nature. Cellulose can be found in various goods used by humans.
Such as cotton, plant and wood fibers, which attract not all pests can break down the cellulose fibers in wood. The cellulose fiber eaten by the termites is then converted into a nutritious food and allows them to access other food sources that are not eaten or preferred by other pest species. Termites have no competition so they don’t have to fight with other pests to get their food.

This type of termite eats the soft fibers of the springwood wood and leaves the hard wood behind. Wood that is eaten by subterranean termites will generally be a kind of beehive. In addition, the rest of the wood will also contain dirt or feces from termites. So it looks dirty.

Not only that, this termite colony can also invade the frame of the house and damage it structurally.
