Instead of beginning life as adults, termites must grow up from infancy. Sadly, not many people know the life cycle of a termite, however, as it is not common knowledge. Fortunately, as the leading local experts on termites, Conquer Termites Northside can help make understanding that process easy.

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. Despite their tiny size, these eggs can be seen by the naked eye. 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. As part of their incomplete metamorphosis, there are three phases in the development of a termite.

Many people think of wooden objects, like the support structures within their walls, when they're asked what termites might eat within their home. Not many people know what else termites might eat, though, such as the plasterboard their walls are made of. 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 Delaneys Creek, 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. 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. 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. 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.

It's not much better to realise that your home is making noise at the night because it has termites, as opposed to just randomly making noise. Fortunately, if you think you might be able to hear termites crawling around your home, then Conquer Termites Northside can help. You can reach out to our team on (07) 3356 8801 for any help you may need with termites in Delaneys Creek.

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. 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. 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. Even though termites are typically incredibly quiet, it is possible to hear the noise their colonies make.
