The Hidden Strength of Social Insects: A New Tool in the Fight Against Termites The University of California, Riverside's entomology department has made a significant discovery that could revolutionize the way drywood termites are controlled.

Drywood termites are notoriously difficult to eradicate due to their ability to live within wood structures, making them hard to detect and eliminate.
