Important Points and Pacte To Remember 
THE TERMITES that are giving you trouble are the SUB-TERRANEAN i.e., they live 
(nest) in the ground, and, in order to obtain food (wood) the Termites construct 
tunnels over masonry, brick and other materials to the nearest point of wood.

“THE SUBTERRANEAN TERMITES" that we are interested in destroying are soil-inhabiting 
insects which feed upon wood, paper, and similar cellulose materials. 
Termites live in colonies which often consist of many hundreds or even thousands of insects. 
Well-established colonies contain several different kinds of individuals, the most important 
of which are the reproductive forms; the protective forms or soldiers; and the workers, 
whose business it is to construct the tunnels and tubes and to keep the colony supplied 
with food in the form of cellulose. The young, the workers, the soldiers, and some of the 
reproductive forms are white or cream-colored, blind, soft-bodied insects which cannot 
withstand the drying effect of exposure to the air. They never leave the protection of 
their tunnels in the soil and the wood or the shelter of the tubes that the workers construct 
across the surface of materials through which they cannot tunnel. The other reproductive 
forms develop a hard, black skin which can withstand exposure to the air, and they are 
provided with two pairs of wings. Usually a colony produces a swarm of these black, 
winged reproductives in the early spring. They emerge from the colony, fly about, mate, 
and lose their wings in the course of a few hours. They endeavor to set up new colonies, bui 
only a very small number ever succeed in doing so. 
These Termites must always be in touch with moist earth (moisture). The Queen Termite, 
the eggs, and the young are always in the nest in the ground, which nest is connected by 
tunnels or other runways, developed by them, and remember, always with moisture in their 
insect intellects.

gases of heavy volatile compounds(liberating a gas heavier than 
air under normal temperature and pressure of the air) the resul-—
