8 Termite larvae can be destructive to wooden structures when they feed on the wood as this weakens the structures. The larvae require a moist environment. They build mud tubes along
structure walls to stay connected to the moist soil. A pest control company advertises that they
guarantee termite removal from homes through pesticide use and removal of the mud tubes. How
does removal of the mud tubes affect the termites' ecosystem?
FRemoving the mud tubes prevents termites from moving away from their ecosystem which is
poisoned by the pesticide.
GRemoving the mud tubes prevents rainwater from moving down through the tubes into the
termites' ecosystem.
H Removing the mud tubes traps the termites in the wooden structure, preventing them from
returning to their moist soil ecosystem.
J Removing the mud tubes removes the termites' food from their ecosystem.
