Termites are not born into this world as adults, and instead go through a life cycle just like so many other things. Not many people would be able to describe that life cycle, as it not common knowledge amongst the general public. Thankfully, Conquer Termites Northside can help explain the journey that a termite undertakes from birth to their adult form. If you're suffering from termites in Burpengary, contact our team on (07) 3356 8801.

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. Despite their tiny size, these eggs can be seen by the naked eye. 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. Despite the fact that they transition from infancy to adulthood, termites are considered to undergo an incomplete metamorphosis.

When people think of the termites, they might picture sprawling nests hidden within their walls, feasting on the wooden supports buried within. About whether or not termites will eat plasterboard, however, remains a different question, one that not everyone can answer. Thankfully, Conquer Termites Northside are the leading experts on termites, and can help you understand exactly what the pests will and won't eat in your home. When you're facing termites in Burpengary, call our team on (07) 3356 8801.

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. Even though there is no cellulose in the plaster panels themselves, to make drywall, those panels are wrapped in paper, which does contain the substance. 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. When termites find themselves within your home, your plasterboard and the cellulose it contains may present an enticing meal.

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. No matter how quiet they may be, Conquer Termites Northside can help you find any termites that may be hidden in the dark.

Your walls will become the staging ground for a symphony of noises you wouldn't normally be able to perceive once you fall victim to a termite infestation. 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. Additionally, you might also be able to distinguish the noise of termites communicating to each other through clicking, but it is also quite difficult to make out these sounds. 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. Despite being silent to most ears, our professional team can track termites in your home by the noise they make.
