Compost Termites

30 Oct 2012

Posted by Joseph Coupal

What you are seeing here is something very unusual. Termites eating rotten fruit and vegetables in a compost bin!

We know that termites eat anything that is organic matter so there is a reason for them to love the dark, moist, rich soil inside a compost bin. However to see them actually eating rotten tomatoes and other food items is something I have never seen in my 25 year career! Termites absolutely AMAZE me and they are one insect that I will never underestimate!
