Termites are important and interesting ecological contributors. They feed primarily on cellulose, which makes up plant fibers, including wood. While cellulose is an excellent source of energy, it is difficult for animals to digest.

However, they can become a problem if they find an appetite for your home! Termites can greatly reduce the structural integrity of your home, shed, or business, so if you see a sign of termites, act fast!

What Do Termites Eat?

By eating wood, termites aid in the decomposition of dead wood, which would be much slower otherwise-- mostly left up to microbes that eat much more slowly than termites. Termites eat wood and turn it into other, more readily usable nutrients that the rest of the ecosystem can use.

While termites perform this very valuable ecological function, they are unfortunately indiscriminate in choosing their meals. They will, and often do, eat the wood that makes up the structure of human buildings. Each year, billions of dollars of structural repairs are undertaken in order to compensate for termite damage.
