Wow everyone! So sorry for my lack of posts lately. Things have gotten pretty busy around here, especially with spring right around the corner! I promise to be much better about getting posts up weekly so that you have interesting and exciting information to read!
I figure that we will start off the Spring Series of posts with an exciting one: Termites!
Let's begin with facts about termites shall we?
1. Termites are not considered part of the ant family (although they are quite commonly called ants) but are actually part of the cockroach family.
2. Females can lay up to 2000 eggs a day!!!! (And you wonder why you have so many in your house...)
3. Males and females mate for life, which can be up to 45 years
4. Termites have specific jobs: worker and soldier termites work to do the Queen's bidding
5. The nests of termites are divided into specific chambers including a nursery for the hatching eggs and an area where water is collected
In our next post we'll talk about what to look for with termites and what happens when you find some!
