 Since termites have specific resist holes (but no invulnerability), a variety of weapons is suggested with emphasis on pulse guns due to their high damage output:

 == Termite Infestation ==
-Once a galaxy has a termite mound spawns, a message will be displayed in team chat, and at the end of the team message seen whenever logging in. The termites will first send solo scouts, and later after a week has passed, the termites will enter siege mode where stronger variants of termites are sent in groups for a period of 3 hours. Waves come every 15 minutes during sieges. Approximately every 30 minutes the termites change their target. Once the siege is done, the mound and termites lose interest and despawn.

Once the siege is done, the mound and termites lose interest and despawn.
 Termite mounds are near indestructable, and because they offer no reward to clearing, nor does clearing a mound prohibit future termite spawns, it is inadvisable to attempt at clearing one.
