Termites

Termites don't just chew through wood; they eat it. That means a home, a tree house, or a tree can be a gigantic snack for a colony of termites. Unfortunately, when a colony decides a building is a perfect place to live, it can be hard to kick out these unwanted guests. This book, including graphic organizers and close-up photographs, offers an in-depth look at a termite colony and the different kinds of termites needed to keep a colony functioning. It also examines what exterminators and others do to combat these destructive insects.
