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. 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. 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.

There are three main stages in a termite's development, which constitute an 'incomplete metamorphosis'. 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. To determine whether these nymphs develop into workers, soldiers, or other castes, the queen uses pheromones to control their development. To undergo an incomplete metamorphosis, termites have three phases in their development.

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. Additionally, allowing moisture to build up on your walls can make them a more tempting target for termites, and may increase the threat of an infestation in your home. 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. Thanks to their unquenchable desire for cellulose, termites will eat anything they can find containing the substance, including plasterboard.
