Termites are not born into this world as adults, and instead go through a life cycle just like so many other things. How that life cycle transpires, however, is not common knowledge to most people. Thankfully, Conquer Termites Northside can help explain the journey that a termite undertakes from birth to their adult form. If you're suffering from termites in Mount Glorious, contact our team on (07) 3356 8801.

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. Despite their tiny size, these eggs can be seen by the naked eye. Nymphs hatch from these eggs, and are cared for by the young workers of the colony. 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.

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. Thankfully, Conquer Termites Northside are the leading experts on termites, and can help you understand exactly what the pests will and won't eat in your home. When you're facing termites in Mount Glorious, 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. 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. 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. 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.

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. If you need help with termites in Mount Glorious, you can call us on (07) 3356 8801.

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. 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. During the day, the noise pollution is generally so high, it's impossible for many people to actually hear the noises that termites make. 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.
