== [[Video Games]] ==
* In ''[[Escape Fromfrom Monkey Island]]'', Guybrush must at one point infest the baddie's cane with a handful of termites so that he can follow the resulting trail of sawdust to the villain's lair. By the time you get there, the cane has dissolved completely.
 
== [[Western Animation]] ==
* ''[[The Pink Panther]]'' episode "Pink Pest Control": A termite bedevils the panther by literally eating him out of house and home. Watchable [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BWvfFRUFqNk here].
* Also from DFE, ''[[The Ant and Thethe Aardvark]]'' episode "Rough Brunch": The Aardvark fights a termite (and his family) who can eat through wood products at lightning speed with the accompanying sound of a buzzsaw. There's a complete episode guide [http://www.tv.com/the-ant-and-the-aardvark/rough-brunch/episode/264614/recap.html here] and the episode is viewable [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hCyGQ2m-Z1g here].
* On one ''[[Looney Tunes]]'' cartoon, Porky Pig had to deal with a termite caricatured as a [[Canada, Eh?|French-Canadian lumberjack]]. The exterminator Porky hires causes far more trouble for him than the termite.
** Incidentally, the Warner Bros. Animation studio in [[The Golden Age of Animation]] was called "Termite Terrace" by [[Tex Avery]] and the other employees, due to the title trope.
Line 27:
* The last episode of the western animated series ''Zoo Cup'' is about a soccer match between kangaroos and termites. Or rather it should be. Because just when kangaroos and the commentator are busy wondering where the termites' team and their supporters are, the termites eat up the entire stadium in seconds.
* In one episode of ''[[The Huckleberry Hound Show]]'', Huck encountered a crafty termite.
* [[Tom and Jerry (Animation)|Tom and Jerry]], in an episode of their 1970s series, dealt with a gang of termites on tiny motorcycles with sawblade wheels.
* One episode of ''[[The New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh]]'' was about a swarm of termites raiding Rabbit's house.
* One episode of ''[[The Simpsons]]'' was about the titular family being forced to live in a 19th Century home as part of a reality show because their house was badly damaged by termites living in a hockey stick.
* A termite in ''[[Oggy and Thethe Cockroaches]]'' had gigantic metal jaws and could reduce anything to splinters in a second. Even electrical appliances.
* An episode of ''[[Eek the Cat]]'' called "The Eeksterminator" had the eponymous cat accidentally breaking Wendy Elizabeth's inflatable Squishy Bears cage of termites and dealing with a termite that freed from the cage.
* An episode of ''[[Popeye]]'' deals with Popeye defending his newly built home from termites. After eating his spinach, he rebuilt his house completely out of steel.
