There is a Nobel Prize winning scientist named Steven Chu that has discovered a termite control method that turns them from being home eating pests, to a limitless fuel source. He’s not claiming that termites can save the world. However, he does believe that they can lead to cheap, clean-burning, and virtually limitless fuel.
The US Department of Energy is currently researching ways to replace fossil fuels with renewable sources of cleaner energy. Termites are considered a possible way to reach this goal through something called metagenomics (the study of metagenomes, genetic material recovered directly from environmental samples).
So, how is it possible to turn these pests into power sources?

Disclaimer: I am a professionally trained termite exterminator. On this particular issue, I am CLEARLY biased. 
With that said, I still believe that it’s important to empower you to learn how to exterminate termites, should you choose to do it yourself.
There are two common treatment methods that exterminators will use. If you can get your hands on either of these treatments, I wish you the best of luck. But I will say that termite inspections and treatment methods can be highly specialized procedures, so be extremely careful. Otherwise leave it up to a QualityPro certified termite exterminator who has specific tools and techniques for inspection and application of materials.
Subterranean termite treatments are generally broken down into two categories:

Learning the difference between flying termites and flying ants during the Spring swarming season in Florida can be difficult. Often, winged ants can resemble the winged-swarming termite.
For example, BOTH termites and ants…
Now, when it comes to species, ants far outnumber termites in the variety. There are about 4,000 species of termites, but ants have close to 14,000!
Although they have many similarities, ants and termites do have some distinctive differences. If you know these differences, it is actually quite easy to decipher flying termites from flying ants and you won’t even need a microscope.
When the bug is standing relatively still, look for these characteristics.

During the course of this series, you’ll see many pictures of termites (like the one above) so if you get grossed out easily, you may find it difficult to read the rest of my blog posts. You’ve been forewarned . So before we launch into the wonderful world of termites, you should have a firm understanding of what these creatures are and the purpose they serve in nature.
Termites are social creatures who look out for their own, and are very family-centric. In fact, they live with several hundred to several million family members who all work together to find cellulose food sources that will grow the colony.
I’m sure you love your family as much as I love mine. But could you imagine living with that many family members? Ugh. 
As you are probably aware, these little creatures can be very successful in their foraging efforts, using a cooperation called “swarm intelligence”. In fact, they are so successful in these food hunting systems that they can LITERALLY eat you out of house and home…hence the title of my new eBook.
A typical termite colony includes the following members:
The title says it all! Pest and termite Control is what we do best. It’s not a glamorous job but we’ve made a pretty good living at evicting pests from your home since 1978.
Wouldn’t you know it, Termites are back in season. In Southwest Florida, they like to swarm in the spring and do serious damage to your home. So we decided to write another eBook to teach you how to:
Ever heard the saying, “The dose makes the poison”?
This saying came from a 1550’s Swiss chemist known as “Paracelsus”.
As a follow up to my series, “5 Things You Need To Know About Subterranean Termites“…
…I thought you might find it helpful to see a United States map showing the risks of termites.
The “Formosan” subterranean termite is by far, one of the most destructive types of termites in the world today, and guess what…
…it’s found ALL over Florida.
Generally, these guys swarm from March through July on calm, warm, humid evenings, however, we see the biggest concentrations in April.
