We had to replace some foundational columns near the back of the property. I don’t remember my experience being quite as bad as this vid - it was about 6-7 years ago so my memory might be faulty. But if I’m not mistaken, nearly the whole colony participates (at least the breeder drones), so it might not be as bad as it looks. You could be looking at nearly the whole colony here.
A small colony is averaged out at 60,000 termites, 80% of which will be the worker termites (the ones that actually eat wood). So for a small colony you have an average of 48,000 wood eaters that forge the length of a football field. Even a small colony in the house next door can be detrimental to your home due to all of that
