What Are Termites?
Termites are small, social insects that live in colonies and feed on wood and other organic material. Termites are found in most parts of the world, including the United States. In Rogers, Arkansas, the most common type of termite is the subterranean termite. Subterranean termites live in underground colonies and build mud tunnels to reach the food sources they feed on. These colonies are made up of several different types of termites. The reproductive termites, known as alates, are responsible for setting up new colonies and have wings, allowing them to fly and disperse to new areas. Worker termites are responsible for gathering food, caring for the young, and building and maintaining the colony. Soldier termites are responsible for protecting the colony from predators. Termites work together as a colony to form a thriving community in the soil.
Types of Subterranean Termite Castes in a Colony and their roles.
Worker: Worker termites are the most numerous caste of termite in a subterranean colony. They are responsible for gathering food, building and repairing the nest, and caring for the young.
Soldier: Soldier termites have specialized mandibles and body armor and are responsible for the defense of the nest. They are able to bite and release a defensive chemical when attacked.
Reproductive: Reproductive termites are responsible for propagating the colony. They develop wings and leave the nest in swarms to find mates and start new colonies.
Winged Reproductive: Winged reproductive termites are a special caste of reproductive termites that have wings and are capable of flight. They leave the nest in swarms to find mates and start new colonies.
King: The king termite is the leader of the colony and is responsible for defending the nest and mating with the queen.
Queen: The queen termite is the reproductive center of the colony and is responsible for laying eggs and producing new termites.
Secondary Queen: Secondary queen termites are a special caste of reproductive termites that are produced by the queen to help increase the reproductive output of the colony. Secondary queens are capable of laying eggs and producing new termites.
