Time to stop AC's and shift with a termite .....!

Did you know that termite mounds have Airconditioning?

Termite mounds can be truly massive, with up to 3 million individual insects living in large nests that can reach several metres in height. the insects frequently build their moulds in tree trunks or they can be build directly onto the ground. a complex structure of chambers, shafts and insulating systems ensures that the temperature and humidity of the air supply is carefully regulated. warm, used air from the mould's lower levels rises slowly through a central chimney and flows sideways through many corridors at the top. when the air strikes the external walls, it cools and sinks back down. in , addition, fine pores in the walls ensure that gases are exchanged - with methane and carbon dioxide being expelled, while fresh oxygen enters from outside. a constant draught transports cooler air through chamber and corridors, keeping the nest at an ideal temperature.
