The development of a termite is called an 'incomplete metamorphosis', and is comprised of three main stages. Life begins as an egg for termites, which can be white or light brown, and are translucent. The naked eye is capable of spotting these eggs, even though they are tiny. From these eggs hatch nymphs, and the young workers of the colony care for these infants. To determine whether these nymphs develop into workers, soldiers, or other castes, the queen uses pheromones to control their development. To undergo an incomplete metamorphosis, termites have three phases in their development.

Cellulose is the food of choice for termites, and they will eat anything they can find that contains it. Your internal walls are probably made of plasterboard, which, due to its cellulose content, can make for an attractive target to termites. There is cellulose in the paper that is wrapped around plaster panels to make drywall, which means that termites will happily eat their fill. The termite threat only increases if you allow the drywall to become moist, as that moisture is another resource coveted by the pest. In the event of a termite infestation in your home, you might be able to track them by the pinholes they leave behind in your drywall, and if you have even the slightest suspicion, you should contact a professional team of termite inspectors to be sure. Thanks to their unquenchable desire for cellulose, termites will eat anything they can find containing the substance, including plasterboard.

Termite activity results in a variety of noises coming out of your walls, though you might not be able to normally perceive them. These noises come in a broad variety, including popping, snapping, and clicking sounds. Snapping and popping sounds are emitted by wood fibres that are torn apart, though most human ears aren't able to hear these noises without assistance. You may also be able to hear the pests communicate via clicking, but these are extremely difficult noises to hear with just the human ear. You'll generally need to make use of the right equipment to hear either of these sounds during the day, however, as the noise pollution is generally too high. A quiet night or the appropriate tools, like a stethoscope, can make it possible to hear these noises, however, helping our team track down termites in your home. It is possible to hear noise from a termite colony, despite how quiet these infestations are.
