Like most other things in life, termites are not created as adults, and must grow from infancy. Not many people would be able to describe that life cycle, as it not common knowledge amongst the general public. Fortunately, as the leading local experts on termites, Conquer Termites Northside can help make understanding that process easy. If you're suffering from termites in Cashmere, contact our team on (07) 3356 8801.

Over three distinct stages of development, a termite will move through a process called an 'incomplete metamorphosis'. Life begins as an egg for termites, which can be white or light brown, and are translucent. 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. These nymphs develop according to the queen's pheromones, separating them into their castes. Despite the fact that they transition from infancy to adulthood, termites are considered to undergo an incomplete metamorphosis.

It's normal to think of termites as eating wooden supports buried in your walls and not much more. About whether or not termites will eat plasterboard, however, remains a different question, one that not everyone can answer. The leading experts on all matters related to termites, Conquer Termites Northside, can help you understand what parts of your home are at risk of the pests. When you're facing termites in Cashmere, 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. Your internal walls are probably made of plasterboard, which, due to its cellulose content, can make for an attractive target to termites. 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. Once termites have begun eating plasterboard, they might leave behind small pinholes you can use to identify them, though its best that you undergo a professional termite inspection if you suspect the pests have invaded your home. When termites find themselves within your home, your plasterboard and the cellulose it contains may present an enticing meal.

It can be hard for homeowners to work out what's worse; an unexplained noise in your home in the dead of the night, or the chance that that noise may be termites. No matter how quiet they may be, Conquer Termites Northside can help you find any termites that may be hidden in the dark. You can reach out to our team on (07) 3356 8801 for any help you may need with termites in Cashmere.

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. 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. 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. With that equipment, however, such as a stethoscope, its possible for our team to seek out these noises, and you yourself may be able to hear them on particularly quiet nights. Despite being silent to most ears, our professional team can track termites in your home by the noise they make.
