Termites are eating your house🤯

Knowing the signs of termites present in your house can prevent extensive damage before it occurs. I will show you a few signs to look for to detect if there is termite activity, the damage they can cause and some interesting / scary facts. First sign is mud trails also know as mud tubes along you brick work entering the property. Damage to your wood work, paint and walls that almost resembles water damage is also another indicator that you have termites eating your house and is often mistaken for simple water damage. One termite colony can eat 6.5 kg of wood a week. The queen can produce 15-25 eggs a minute which equates to over 40,000 eggs a day. Termites are insomniacs which means they never sleep and are always working away at your house bite by bite. Gone unnoticed, termites can be the end of your house so learn what to look for and how termites sound !!!!!!! For more DIY and how to videos LIKE COMMENT and SUBSCRIBE.

I just posted this as an answer to Tesseract's question:-
Black ants and termites will co-exist, termites are used as 'cattle' for black ants particularly in winter when food for the ant colony is scarce, and the soldiers from the termite colony, around 5% of the total number are the 'enforcers' who will take on the Ants for defence. Termites are sometimes called 'white ants' but they are a completely different species. The only way to tell the difference between termites is to compare the soldiers - in Australia we have around 400 different species of termites, but only 3 are a problem for structures, in Far North Queensland they are extremely veracious and can in a very short time cause significant damage to a structure. They have 2 breeding flights a year typically Around October and March, also either just before or just after a thunder storm, when the humidity is over 95% and 30o Celsius. They swarm in their millions from hives.

Do black ants eat them or is that just a myth?
