The development of a termite is called an 'incomplete metamorphosis', and is comprised of three main stages. Ranging in colour from white to light brown, translucent eggs are the starting point for a termite's life cycle. While these eggs might be tiny, even the naked eye is capable of spotting them. From these eggs hatch nymphs, and the young workers of the colony care for these infants. To determine whether these nymphs develop into workers, soldiers, or other castes, the queen uses pheromones to control their development. Despite the fact that they transition from infancy to adulthood, termites are considered to undergo an incomplete metamorphosis.

Cellulose is the food of choice for termites, and they will eat anything they can find that contains it. It's common for construction companies to use plasterboard, a material termites are all too happy to eat, to build the walls inside your home. 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. The termite threat only increases if you allow the drywall to become moist, as that moisture is another resource coveted by the pest. 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. When termites find themselves within your home, your plasterboard and the cellulose it contains may present an enticing meal.

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. Wood fibres quietly pop and snap as they're torn apart, which may occur when termites are actively feasting on wood, or anytime thereafter. 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. 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. 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. Despite being silent to most ears, our professional team can track termites in your home by the noise they make.
