Perhaps the most common termite species known to cause serious damage to households all across Australia are Subterranean termites. These termites are commonly located in urban, densely populated areas. Conquer Termites Northside are receiving more reports of termite damage from our clients located in Stafford. Subterranean termites are the ones causing most of these issues.

Subterranean termites are highly-secretive. It is not that easy for a termite technician to detect them. Aside from being usually found in timber, they are also known to be voracious eaters of grass and leaves. Just like other termites found in Stafford, Subterranean termites prefer to live in a humid environment. But what makes it easy for them to survive despite the changing weather, is their ability to adapt to any challenging condition.

Subterranean termites build their colonies underground and a single colony may consist of over two million termites, as they have more than one egg-laying female, also known as queens. Above the ground, this kind of termite prefers to live in moist secluded areas to sustain their bodies’ moisture for them to survive. They create mud tunnels and mounds that serve as their shelter when they are out of the colony. Subterranean termites remain unnoticed until signs of infestation show. Some of these signs include hollow sounding timber, mud tunnels, grass and wood damages.
