Unnecessary termite damage might be able to be avoided by performing a termite inspection in pre-purchase for your new home. Generally, the Queensland Building and Construction Commission recommends that you get both a general building inspection and termite inspection carried out on your property before you finalise the purchase. This visual inspection searches for evidence of active termite infestation or termite damage by checking the accessible areas of the property. 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. To perform these inspections, you'll need a licensed team of pest controllers, such as Conquer Termites Northside. Protect your new home from unnecessary termite damage by performing a pre-purchase termite inspection.

Like most other things in life, termites are not created as adults, and must grow from infancy. How that life cycle transpires, however, is not common knowledge to most people. Understanding the life cycle of this pervasive pest is easy with Conquer Termites Northside and our local experts. Call us on (07) 3356 8801 to solve any problems you have with termites in Boondall.

Over three distinct stages of development, a termite will move through a process called an 'incomplete metamorphosis'. The first stage is the egg, which range in colour from white to light brown and are translucent. While these eggs might be tiny, even the naked eye is capable of spotting them. The infants that emerge from these eggs are called nymphs, and they're cared for by the colony's young workers. These nymphs develop according to the queen's pheromones, separating them into their castes. Undergoing three phases during development, a termite's growth is considered to be an incomplete metamorphosis, though they move from infancy to adulthood.

It's normal to think of termites as eating wooden supports buried in your walls and not much more. Whether or not termites will eat the rest of their walls, such as the plasterboard, remains a mystery to some people, however. Fortunately, it's a simple matter for our team of termite experts here at Conquer Termites Northside to explain exactly what is and isn't at risk within your home. Call us on (07) 3356 8801 for help with all termites in Boondall.

So long as a material contains cellulose, there is very little that will stop termites from considering it a viable food source. That includes the plasterboard commonly used to construct interior walls. Drywall is constructed, in simple terms, by wrapped plasterboards in a paper-like material, and while the plasterboards don't contain cellulose, the paper does. 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. Once termites have begun eating plasterboard, they might leave behind small pinholes you can use to identify them, though its best that you undergo a professional termite inspection if you suspect the pests have invaded your home. Plasterboard makes for an excellent source of cellulose for any termites that may have wandered into your home.
