What Are Termite Tunnels

Termites are incredibly destructive. A termite colony can quickly weaken the integrity of your home and cause significant structural damage. One of the clearly visible signs of an infestation is the presence of termite tubes. Shown here, these long thin tunnels of mud serve as a trail from the termite colony to their food source.

What are termite tubes anyway?

Termites instinctively shelter themselves while they travel from their colony to food sources. This is done to protect themselves while gaining food for their colony while mitigating risks. There are a few reasons reasons why termites build these functional structures out of saliva, waste, and nearby dirt, mainly to avoid natural predators.
