Ross

I believe the answer is:

termites

(Other definitions for termites that I've seen before include "Ant-like social insect that feeds on wood" , "Flightless insects living in mounds" , "Ant-like insects that feed on wood" , "Destructive workers" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times and The Sunday Times.
