Just as many other creatures, infancy marks the beginning of a termites life cycle, before slowly growing into adults. Not many people would be able to describe that life cycle, as it not common knowledge amongst the general public. Thanks to the expertise of our team, Conquer Termites Northside can help you understand exactly how termites grow from infants to adults.

The development of a termite is called an 'incomplete metamorphosis', and is comprised of three main stages. 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. From these eggs hatch nymphs, and the young workers of the colony care for these infants. The queen's pheromones is able to control the development of a nymph into adulthood, ensuring they become the worker, solider, or other caste member that they need to be. Despite the fact that they transition from infancy to adulthood, termites are considered to undergo an incomplete metamorphosis.

If you're asked to think of what termites might eat in your home, your first thought might be anything directly made of wood. About whether or not termites will eat plasterboard, however, remains a different question, one that not everyone can answer. Luckily, answering that question is no challenge for Conquer Termites Northside and our termite experts. If you're experiencing issues with termites in Dayboro, you can reach out to our team on (07) 3356 8801.

Cellulose is the food of choice for termites, and they will eat anything they can find that contains it. 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. The termite threat only increases if you allow the drywall to become moist, as that moisture is another resource coveted by the pest. Though you should perform a professional inspection for termites on your home if you have even the faintest doubt that the pests have invaded your home, you may also be able to identify them via the pinholes they leave behind in your walls. When termites find themselves within your home, your plasterboard and the cellulose it contains may present an enticing meal.

Sometimes, homes make noises on their own, and that can already unnerve a lot of homeowners, but the possibility that termites may be making that noise isn't a welcome revelation.

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. 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. 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. Utilising a stethoscope or waiting for a quiet night can make it much easier to distinguish these noises, however, helping track down any termites hidden in your home. Despite being silent to most ears, our professional team can track termites in your home by the noise they make.
