Default Can termites live in a vacuum?
In article ,
says...
A few bagged termites may eat some wood but without a queen they would
not live long. Think of a colony as an entity.


I would find his scenario impossible to spread a termite colony, but
actually when you open up a wall or old stump and come across termites
scampering about, a percentage of those are actually secondary
reproductives that can mature to become the new colony's (colony
separated from the original colony)queen and king and survive on their
own.
