Yes, that’s what we did in our 2007 study - and lots of other similar studies have been done since. All of them support the conclusion that termites are cockroaches - or rather blattodeans (termites are still termites, but they are blattodeans, as are the ‘true’ cockroaches).

Our 2007 paper did classify the termites as Termitidae, but we proposed a new and much better classification system in a slightly later paper i.e. Eggleton, P., Beccaloni, G. & Inward, D. 2007.
