Termites are not born into this world as adults, and instead go through a life cycle just like so many other things. Sadly, not many people know the life cycle of a termite, however, as it is not common knowledge. Thankfully, Conquer Termites Northside can help explain the journey that a termite undertakes from birth to their adult form.

Over three distinct stages of development, a termite will move through a process called an 'incomplete metamorphosis'. The first stage is the egg, which range in colour from white to light brown and are translucent. While these eggs might be tiny, even the naked eye is capable of spotting them. The infants that emerge from these eggs are called nymphs, and they're cared for by the colony's young workers. Finally, using pheromones, the queen is able to control how these nymphs develop, creating adults that may be workers, soldiers, or other castes. As part of their incomplete metamorphosis, there are three phases in the development of a termite.

When people think of the termites, they might picture sprawling nests hidden within their walls, feasting on the wooden supports buried within. Not many people know what else termites might eat, though, such as the plasterboard their walls are made of.

So long as a material contains cellulose, there is very little that will stop termites from considering it a viable food source. That includes the plasterboard commonly used to construct interior walls. Drywall is constructed, in simple terms, by wrapped plasterboards in a paper-like material, and while the plasterboards don't contain cellulose, the paper does. Moisture is one of the few other things valued by termites, which means you'll want to avoid allowing your drywalls to become moist at all costs. If termites have started eating the drywall in your home, you may be able to identify them via small pinholes they leave behind in the plasterboard, but it's best if you organise a professional termite inspection instead. Due to their need to constantly consume cellulose, termites are constantly searching for a source of the substance, and will eat plasterboard if they can find it.

While it might feel like there is nothing is more concerning than noise coming from what should have been a silent home, the possibility that that noise may be termites isn't much better. Fortunately, if you think you might be able to hear termites crawling around your home, then Conquer Termites Northside can help.

Even though you might not normally be able to hear it, termite activity will result in lots of noise coming from your walls. Hidden behind your walls is a small symphony of snapping, clicking, and popping noises. As the wood fibres are torn apart, whether it's due to active feeding or just the strain the colony causes, they can make popping and snapping noises, though these are generally incredibly quiet. It is difficult to manage without using tools, but you might also be able to make out the sounds of termites communicating with each other in their nest, as they make a distinctive clicking noise. As the noise pollution during the day is normally so high, you won't be able to hear these noises without the correct tools. However, with the correct equipment, like a stethoscope, our team can listen for these sounds, and you might be able to hear them yourself once night falls. Even though termites are typically incredibly quiet, it is possible to hear the noise their colonies make.
