Default Termite ‘superswarm’ threatens South Florida

"Two of the world’s most destructive termite species are swarming
South Florida, and the fact that they are mating has scientists
sweating."

[...]

"Termite colonies, sometimes consisting of millions of individuals,
can live up to 20 years and thrive in South Florida, where the
temperatures offer ideal mating conditions. "

"The species invade foreign soil by hitching rides on wooden boats or
