Nest Location - Coptotermes frenchi most often build their
nest in the root crown or lower trunk area of living trees, particularly
eucalypts. They may also build their nest as a mound in the dryer
areas of western New South Wales. |
Destructive Nature - Coptotermes frenchi can cause severe damage to buildings and other wooden structures. It is common for this species to devour timber framing leaving only a thin veneer. This species is the most shy of the destructive species; they will retreat from a location immediately (for the time being) if disturbed.
