Getting a termite inspection for your pre-purchase home is an excellent choice that can help prevent termite damage in the early days of owning your new house. Before you complete any property purchase, the Queensland Building and Construction Commission will generally recommend you undertake both a termite inspection and a general building inspection. These inspections, at this stage of the purchase, focuses entirely on the accessible areas of the property, and are entirely visual in nature. Any termite management systems installed in the home, their maintenance needs, and the risk of termite attacks in the area are all additional results of these inspections. Thanks to their complicated nature, you can't perform these inspections yourself, and will need a licensed team of termite inspectors, like Conquer Termites Northside, to perform them. Protect your new home from unnecessary termite damage by performing a pre-purchase termite inspection.

There are three main stages in a termite's development, which constitute an 'incomplete metamorphosis'. These pests begin their lives as eggs, which are translucent and can be any colour from white to light brown. Despite their tiny size, these eggs can be seen by the naked eye. The infants that emerge from these eggs are called nymphs, and they're cared for by the colony's young workers. To determine whether these nymphs develop into workers, soldiers, or other castes, the queen uses pheromones to control their development. Undergoing three phases during development, a termite's growth is considered to be an incomplete metamorphosis, though they move from infancy to adulthood.

When people think of the termites, they might picture sprawling nests hidden within their walls, feasting on the wooden supports buried within.

Termites are insatiable, and they will eat anything they can find that contains cellulose. Since internal walls are commonly made of plasterboard, that makes them viable targets. Even though there is no cellulose in the plaster panels themselves, to make drywall, those panels are wrapped in paper, which does contain the substance. Moisture is one of the few other things valued by termites, which means you'll want to avoid allowing your drywalls to become moist at all costs. 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. Plasterboard makes for an excellent source of cellulose for any termites that may have wandered into your home.
