Termites In Tree. Termites in trees are highly destructive little critters. Termites are small but hardy insects belonging to the prehistoric order isoptera.
Why should you be warry of termites in trees? Termites in trees in your yard can spread to your home so you should treat them. They are a hostile colony, living in the tree , they are obviously made to have the appearance of real life termites, similar to ants, they have workers and soldiers. Trees may become the perfect location for a colony to build a nest and start evolving.
Their workers collect resin , while soldiers protect the workers(weirdly able to collect resin which could be a glitch or intended).
While most termites only attack dead wood, when termites infest trees, they consume the inside wood until the tree can no longer stand. While some aroboreal termites are found in the tropics, in the us, the main species which attacks trees is the formosan termite. The tree is small and there isn't any water nearby or really anything that resembled a moist area for the termites. I hated to see it go, but it had to be done.
