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. While these eggs might be tiny, even the naked eye is capable of spotting them. Nymphs hatch from these eggs, and are cared for by the young workers of the colony. Finally, using pheromones, the queen is able to control how these nymphs develop, creating adults that may be workers, soldiers, or other castes. As part of their incomplete metamorphosis, there are three phases in the development of a termite.

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. Drywall is constructed, in simple terms, by wrapped plasterboards in a paper-like material, and while the plasterboards don't contain cellulose, the paper does. Additionally, allowing moisture to build up on your walls can make them a more tempting target for termites, and may increase the threat of an infestation in your home. 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. Due to their need to constantly consume cellulose, termites are constantly searching for a source of the substance, and will eat plasterboard if they can find it.

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. 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. It is difficult to manage without using tools, but you might also be able to make out the sounds of termites communicating with each other in their nest, as they make a distinctive clicking noise. During the day, the noise pollution is generally so high, it's impossible for many people to actually hear the noises that termites make. 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. Even though termites are typically incredibly quiet, it is possible to hear the noise their colonies make.
