There are three major terrestrial types: drywood, subterranean (ground), and Formosan. Drywood termites prefer to live above the soil, taking up residence in wood structures. Once established, a colony that lives in wood can slowly weaken a wooden structure. Ground termites dwell within the soil, tunneling up to the surface in a complex system that allows them access to nearby food sources of wood. Formosan termites, a subterranean type, has become a threat to property and forests throughout a dozen southern states.
