Tetraponera.

Tetraponera are mostly aboreal but many species will also nest on fallen trees or tree trunks. Even in their foraging they frequent the ground to hunt for food.

  1. My cousin used some type of fumigation done to her house and as far as I know it worked really well on those termites. I think her house was under the tent for a few days.

  2. Except for drywood termites fumigation is probably the least effective method of termite control unless supplemented with soil treatment or poison baiting. Without these additional control measures the subterranean termites would most likely be back eating up the house within three months.
