white ant
Colony wood destroyer
White ant is another name for a termite, used especially in Australia and parts of Asia.
Though termites resemble ants in their social structure and colony behavior, they are more closely related to cockroaches.
The term persists in regions where termites pose significant threats to wooden structures.
The house was riddled with white ants by the time we discovered the damage.
