Those termites will eat anything!
Termites love wood and they will do about anything to get food or water. They don’t eat live wood but will readily devour anything that is dead, like your home 2×4’s, dead cellulose or bark. As you can see by the pictures even cactus are not immune to the ravishes of these hungry little termites.
Have you seen these? Termite tunnels or tubes.
So you’re walking around your home and you look down and see this thing made out of mud or dirt, what is it? These are subterranean mud shelter tubes or tunnels. It’s the super highway for termites, it protects them from air, sunlight and predators. Here is Arizona we have another termite (Gnathamitermes) and this subterranean termite often plasters fences, tree trucks and cactus.
