Termites are not born into this world as adults, and instead go through a life cycle just like so many other things. However, the life cycle of a termite is not common knowledge amongst the general population. Thanks to the expertise of our team, Conquer Termites Northside can help you understand exactly how termites grow from infants to adults. Call us on (07) 3356 8801 to solve any problems you have with termites in Bracalba.

Over three distinct stages of development, a termite will move through a process called an 'incomplete metamorphosis'. Ranging in colour from white to light brown, translucent eggs are the starting point for a termite's life cycle. These eggs may be tiny, but the naked eye is capable of identifying 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. To undergo an incomplete metamorphosis, termites have three phases in their development.

When people think of the termites, they might picture sprawling nests hidden within their walls, feasting on the wooden supports buried within. However, not everyone is certain as to whether or not these pests will eat the rest of their walls, including their plasterboard. Luckily, answering that question is no challenge for Conquer Termites Northside and our termite experts. Call us on (07) 3356 8801 for help with all termites in Bracalba.

So long as a material contains cellulose, there is very little that will stop termites from considering it a viable food source. It's common for construction companies to use plasterboard, a material termites are all too happy to eat, to build the walls inside your home. Though the plaster panels themselves used to make drywalls don't contain cellulose, the paper it is wrapped in does, making the walls a valid target for these invasive pests. 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. Thanks to their unquenchable desire for cellulose, termites will eat anything they can find containing the substance, including plasterboard.

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. Thankfully, Conquer Termites Northside can help you understand exactly when and how you might be hearing termites in your home. Don't let termites in Bracalba bother you; call us on (07) 3356 8801 today.

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. Wood fibres quietly pop and snap as they're torn apart, which may occur when termites are actively feasting on wood, or anytime thereafter. Likewise, it is also possible to hear termites clicking while communicating with each other and walking around their nest, though once again, these are exceptionally quiet noises. 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. It is possible to hear noise from a termite colony, despite how quiet these infestations are.
