Here is a link to an article on new termite research that indicates they use vibration as an information gathering tool.

quote:
Now I would love to figure out if we could actually scare termites away from a house if we broadcast the right kind of signals - if we could effectively say that a big, bad, mean termite colony is already here, and you don't want to come in." Such signals could be played at a decibel level audible to termites but not to people, he says.

Does anyone else envision a B movie based on this concept where the house is then invaded by gigantic termites?
