Termite infestations can go out of control in just a few days but Broken Arrow pest control will not let it happen. A single queen is capable of laying thousands of eggs daily. The eggs are hidden deep in the colony making them very difficult to remove. Termites damage your home without your noticing. They eat the wood from the inside out and when you detect their presence, it is too late. In this process they make the structure of your home weak. This also makes your property lose value in the market. To protect your largest investment you can always seek help from Broken Arrow pest control.
Termite eggs
The termite queen is the only female responsible for laying eggs in the colony. They are prolific breeders and they can lay between 1000 and 30000 eggs per day. The number is huge and the infestation will go out of hand in no time. Termites can also live a long time and some can survive up to a decade. That means their colony can grow to a point where it is quite challenging to eliminate it. Termite eggs can hatch within a few weeks to a few months. This largely depends on the environment. Termite eggs are small and they measure up to 0.5 to 1 mm in length. They are transparent or pale white in color. They lay their eggs in clusters in certain chambers of the colony. The worker termites will relocate the eggs if necessary.
Termite eggs hatache within a certain time and become nymphs. They go through several molts to become adults. Most of the nymphs will become workers while the rest will get roles based on the colony’s needs. Worker termites are responsible for taking care of the colony and maintaining the nests. They also feed the nymphs and provide food for the queen.
The worker termites place the eggs deep in the colony to protect them from any threats. Soldier termites also guard the colony and the eggs to protect them from predators and environmental hazards. Termite eggs need a warm and humid environment to survive and worker termites regularly monitor these to ensure that the eggs are developing the way they should.
