Question

The entry of _________ termites into buildings takes place through cracks or fissures of even 0.5 mm thickness in concrete and masonry, floor joints, etc.

(a) Ground nesting

(b) Non subterranean

(c) Drywood

(d) White ants

This question was posed to me in an interview for job.

My enquiry is from Termite Proofing in chapter Damp Proofing, Water Proofing and Termite Proofing of Construction & Building Materials

Answer 1

Correct option is (a) Ground nesting

The best explanation: It is also to be noted that it is very difficult to control land to remove the ground nesting termites or subterranean termites, once they have entered the structure. It is found that loss caused by the termites in our country runs into several millions of rupees every year.
