Termites can cause significant structural damage to houses and business with one colony consuming up to a pound (half a kilo) of timber each day. As social insects that establish large colonies quite fast, both the female and male termite feed on timber and always work to build a nest for their eggs. The existence of termites, especially in the spring, frequently indicates that a colony has been well established in the near vicinity.
Termites prefer decaying wood and despite causing significant damage, they frequently leave a physical effect that at first seems to render wood as clean and smooth.
