It's a wise idea to perform a termite inspection during pre-purchase for your new home to make sure you avoid any unnecessary termite damage. 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. These inspections, at this stage of the purchase, focuses entirely on the accessible areas of the property, and are entirely visual in nature. Additionally, this inspection will also tell you whether or not there have been termite management systems installed in the home previously, and how to maintain them if so, as well as the general risk of termite attacks in the area. You won't be able to perform these inspections yourself thanks to the complicated legal and practical nature of the work, and will instead need to hire a licensed and qualified team of pest professionals to perform them, like Conquer Termites Northside. With a termite inspection in pre-purchase, you'll be able to help protect your new home from termite damage.

Termites undergo an 'incomplete metamorphosis' over the course of three distinct stages. The first stage is the egg, which range in colour from white to light brown and are translucent. Despite their tiny size, these eggs can be seen by the naked eye. Nymphs hatch from these eggs, and are cared for by the young workers of the colony. The queen's pheromones is able to control the development of a nymph into adulthood, ensuring they become the worker, solider, or other caste member that they need to be. Despite the fact that they transition from infancy to adulthood, termites are considered to undergo an incomplete metamorphosis.

Though you should perform a professional inspection for termites on your home if you have even the faintest doubt that the pests have invaded your home, you may also be able to identify them via the pinholes they leave behind in your walls.
