There are three main stages in a termite's development, which constitute an 'incomplete metamorphosis'. 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. The young workers of the colony care for the young that come from these eggs, which are called nymphs. 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.

When people think of the termites, they might picture sprawling nests hidden within their walls, feasting on the wooden supports buried within. Whether or not termites will eat the rest of their walls, such as the plasterboard, remains a mystery to some people, however. Fortunately, it's a simple matter for our team of termite experts here at Conquer Termites Northside to explain exactly what is and isn't at risk within your home.

Termites are insatiable, and they will eat anything they can find that contains cellulose. 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. To make matters worse, if you let moisture build up on the walls of your home, you'll only be increasing the threat of a termite invasion. 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.

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. Luckily, finding any termites that may be creeping around your home is simple with Conquer Termites Northside.

A colony of termites will emit a cacophony from inside your walls once they've invaded your home. Once an active termite infestation has taken root in your home, they can make a variety of clicking, snapping, 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. 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. Unfortunately, the noise pollution during the day is normally too high to be able to hear either of these sounds without the appropriate equipment. 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.
