[http://www.goldkeyinspect.com] Jamie, an inspector from Gold Key Home Inspections, shows you live termites, otherwise known as soldiers in this video. He explains how and why the soldier termites are in a mud tube on the outside of a house. Termites are a group of eusocial insects that were at one time classified at the taxonomic rank of order Isoptera, but are now accepted as the epifamily Termitoidae, of the cockroach order Blattaria. While termites are commonly known, especially in Australia, as "white ants," they are not closely related to true ants. termites live in colonies that, at maturity, number from several hundred to several million individuals. Colonies use decentralised, self-organised systems of activity guided by swarm intelligence to exploit food sources and environments that could not be available to any single insect acting alone. A typical colony contains nymphs (semi-mature young), workers, soldiers, and reproductive individuals of both genders, sometimes containing several egg-laying queens. All termites eat cellulose.

Gold Key inspects homes and business in northeast Indiana (South Bend, Mishawaka, Osceola, Elkhart, Goshen, Nappanee, LaGrange, Ligonier, Warsaw, Syracuse, Kendallville, Fort Wayne, Angola) and the southern counties of Michigan.
