Termite treatment Northern Beaches

Flying termites which are capable of reproduction leave their mature colonies for pairing and mating purposes. The immature termites then develop into workers, soldiers or reproductive. Interestingly, a queen termite can lay up to millions of eggs a year. Caring for the immature termites, feeding and maintenance of the nest is taken care by the workers. Soldiers defend the nest by keeping the predators at bay.
