What Are Termites?
Termites are small insects that feed on wood, paper, and other cellulose materials. They live in colonies and can cause significant damage to your property if left unchecked. There are several types of termites, but the most common in Singapore include:
-
Subterranean Termites: These are the most destructive and live in underground colonies.
-
Drywood Termites: Found in dry wood, they don’t require contact with soil.
-
Formosan Termites: A highly aggressive species that can form large colonies.
