Termites
Termites are notorious of being the most destructive pest capable of inflicting massive damages to your property. The Life Cycle of a Termite indicates three castes, the reproductive termites, the workers and the soldiers. The Life Cycle begins with the winged male and female members of the colony taking flight, swarming to reproduce. Further, the reproductive termites are classified as The Alates, the De-Alates, Queen and King and the Neotenics. The Workers are considered indispensable as they take care of food and other needs of the colony. They are sterile, wingless and blind. A typical worker termite’s lifecycle has three stages- egg, nymph and adult. The egg and the nymph last for a month whereas the adult lasts for a couple of years. The soldier termites are also sterile and blind. They are entrusted with the responsibility to keep the colony secure and safe. They have dramatically enlarged heads and mandibles which help in blocking the tunnel entrances and their enlarged jaws are used as weapons in their battles to protect the colony. The life span of a typical soldier is not more than two years depending on environmental factors and outcome of battles. The Queen has a specific pheromone which prevents other individuals from turning into queens. Once the Queen is removed or dies, the specific pheromone is promoted for developing the new Queen.
