Termites aren't related to other social insects, they belong to different orders. They're an example of convergent evolution. Some of the nearest relatives of termites are... cockroaches. Termites are on the more disgusting side of insects - smellier and pestier than ants/bees/wasps.

Termites are not that gross, compared to cockroaches.
