Termites vary in colour depending on the type of Species found. Termites range from white to light brown and translucent. Termites are often mistaken for Ants which can lead to lots of damage if left untreated.
The simplest way to determine if you have ants or Termites is look closely at their Body Segments, Termites have two distinct body segments and ants have three. A live video of Termites in action in amongst ants always helps to identify them, from here you can call in your Termite Expert.
