Nests are usually established in soft, moist (not wet), decayed wood, but occasionally they nest in existing wood cavities or void areas in a structure that are perfectly dry. Workers cut galleries in the wood, expanding the nest size for the enlarging colony.

They can devour the root system of a shrub or plant to the point that it can be lifted from the ground, void of any roots as in the example of the Nandina plant in the picture above.
