Abstract

The termite Odototermes obesus (Rambur) either tunnel through soil or move inside the ‘mudtube’ usually found on walls or in cracks between boards and walls. The mudtube formation could provide the initial proof of the termite infestation. The study analyses the behavioral changes of termite when the indoor mudtube was damaged. The response of termites was recorded by video camera at certain intervals until the mud tube was repaired and closed.
