Abstract
For the first time in Egypt, a new method was devised to determine the number of A. ochraceus termite colonies under ground in a certain area, and its activity in different seasons of the year. By means of such new technique, eleven colonies were detected in an area of 936 m2. The main activity of surface foraging was during winter and the main activity of either soil translocation or food consumption was during summer. The largest foraging territory area ranged from 25 - 28m2, the largest translocated soil area ranged from 35 - 37 m2, and the largest food consumption area ranged from 35 -36m2. Number of attracted foragers by traps ranged from 20519 - 5008 individuals/colony/year. The quantity of translocated soil ranged from 6726 - 1878g, and weight of food consumption ranged from 1906 - 535g/colony/year. Delineation of termite territories models revealed the occupied areas which differed according to seasons of the year. Territorial area of the colonies moved towards north-east direction during spring and returned back to south-west during winter.
