If you want to avoid allowing termite damage to befall your new home, then getting a termite inspection during pre-purchase is an excellent choice. It's recommended by the Queensland Building and Construction Commission that you perform a general building inspection and a termite inspection on any new home that you're contemplating purchasing. Because you don't yet own the property, these inspections are entirely visual in nature and can only focus on the accessible areas of the property. If there have been termite management systems previously installed in the home, this inspection will provide information about these systems, including their maintenance routines and the risk of termite attacks in the locality. 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. If you're going to be buying a new home, you should consider getting a termite inspection carried out in pre-purchase to prevent unnecessary termite damage.

The development of a termite is called an 'incomplete metamorphosis', and is comprised of three main stages. Life begins as an egg for termites, which can be white or light brown, and are translucent. The naked eye is capable of spotting these eggs, even though they are tiny. The young workers of the colony care for the young that come from these eggs, which are called nymphs. 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.

If you're asked to think of what termites might eat in your home, your first thought might be anything directly made of wood. However, not everyone is certain as to whether or not these pests will eat the rest of their walls, including their plasterboard. Luckily, answering that question is no challenge for Conquer Termites Northside and our termite experts.

Cellulose is the food of choice for termites, and they will eat anything they can find that contains it. Your internal walls are probably made of plasterboard, which, due to its cellulose content, can make for an attractive target to termites. There is cellulose in the paper that is wrapped around plaster panels to make drywall, which means that termites will happily eat their fill. To make matters worse, if you let moisture build up on the walls of your home, you'll only be increasing the threat of a termite invasion. 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.
