Alastair explained the complex social structure of termites. Soldier termites sacrifice themselves to protect the colony, while worker termites build continuously. They also spoke about how the industry has changed and how it operates differently based on location. The conversation explored how termites locate both new and existing homes. Explaining that termites can exploit even the smallest entry points, causing extensive damage while leaving only the outer layer intact. Termite expert Alastair reveals this often allows infestations to go unnoticed for long periods of time. Duayne and Alastair also shared how Alastair entered the industry, how they met, and real stories of homes destroyed by termites they’ve encountered.
