Termites Attack

Everybody knows that termites are the industrious insects that live in large colonies in the warmer parts of the globe.

Voracious eaters, the massed ranks of these creatures can destroy huge quantities of crops and gnaw their way through the hardest of hardwoods if left unchecked.
