(otherwise known as 'white ants') in its lifetime and lists the South
East Queensland and Northern NSW region as a very high risk area.

Termites are small, social insects known for their ability to break down cellulose in wood and other plant materials. They play a crucial role in ecosystems by decomposing dead and decaying wood. However, their voracious appetite for wood can lead to significant damage when they invade buildings.
Life Cycle
Termites undergo a gradual metamorphosis with three distinct life stages: egg, nymph, and adult. The life cycle begins when a queen termite lays eggs, which hatch into nymphs. Nymphs resemble small adults and molt several times before reaching maturity. Depending on the species, nymphs can develop into workers, soldiers, or reproductive adults. Workers maintain the nest and forage for food, soldiers protect the colony, and reproductive adults, including the king and queen, focus on producing offspring.
Why Treatment is Necessary
Termite infestations can cause severe structural damage to homes and buildings if left untreated. They often operate silently, feeding on wood from the inside out, which can lead to compromised structural integrity before signs of infestation become visible. Effective treatment is essential to prevent costly repairs and maintain the safety and value of a property. Treatments typically involve a combination of preventative measures and targeted extermination strategies, including chemical barriers, baiting systems, and monitoring. Early detection and professional management are crucial to minimizing damage and ensuring long-term protection against these destructive pests.
