The culprit:


These are the "worker caste" termites.  These are the only termites to actually feed on cellulose (wood).  They have a protozoan inside their "gut" to enables them to digest the wood and gain sustenance and also feed the other 
termite castes, i.e. the queen, supplemental reproductives, soldiers, psuedergates and males.  One asks how can so much damage be done so quickly?  The reason is simple:  There are ten million tiny mouths, each taking but one bite...24 hours a day...That is the importance of doing something to stop or prevent them right now!  A serious note:  If you have found evidence of active termites, try to make a choice of which termite control company you will be using in a few weeks (2 - 3 at the most)

 

Typical evidence   Termites are absolutely everywhere.  Since God put them here, they are busy acting as one of the primary recyclers of our earth.

Termite shelter tubes on wood. They use these tubes everywhere they go inside a structure to protect them from the outside environment, since they are so delicate that exposure to the open air would kill them in a few short minutes.

Termites
Termites are the most economically important insect in the United States and in other places as well. Their destructive force is simply incredible and they cause millions of dollars worth of damage every year. As owners of buildings, we tend to forget that all the termite is doing is performing its natural function of breaking down wood. Termites are common in forests as recyclers of wood.

There are several species of termites in the United States. The most common ones are the Subterranean , Drywood and Formosan termites. What makes these insects so destructive is its ability to actually digest the wood fiber or cellulose. The actual digestion of wood is performed in the gut of a termite by protozoa living there. The protozoa are passed on from generation to generation by the feeding of termite fecal matter from adults to young termites.  

Prevention of termite infestation can be achieved to some extent by eliminating moisture build-up, especially in areas where structural wood exists. Sometimes something as simple as adding vents to an improperly ventilated area can do wonders to make that wood less attractive to termites.
