Subterranean termites, the variety common to Kentucky and most other states, have a cooperative system for living below ground. They live in colonies that are decentralized entities occupying multiple nesting and feeding sites which may be interconnected by underground tunnels. Termite colonies can range from being quite small with only ten thousand individuals or so to large ones consisting of hundreds of thousands up into millions of individuals who occupy areas ranging half an acre at any given time.
