Unnecessary termite damage might be able to be avoided by performing a termite inspection in pre-purchase for your new home. Any new home should undergo both a termite inspection and a general building inspection, according to the Queensland Building and Construction Commission. A termite inspection, at this stage, focuses on the accessible areas of the property, performing a visual investigation to determine if there is evidence of active termites or termite damage. The maintenance needs of any installed termite management systems, as well as the risk of termites attacking your home based on its locality, will also be returned as a result of this inspection. 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. Protect your new home from unnecessary termite damage by performing a pre-purchase termite inspection.

Instead of beginning life as adults, termites must grow up 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.

Over three distinct stages of development, a termite will move through a process called an 'incomplete metamorphosis'. Ranging in colour from white to light brown, translucent eggs are the starting point for a termite's life cycle. These eggs may be tiny, but the naked eye is capable of identifying them. From these eggs hatch nymphs, and the young workers of the colony care for these infants. 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. Undergoing three phases during development, a termite's growth is considered to be an incomplete metamorphosis, though they move from infancy to adulthood.

Many people think of wooden objects, like the support structures within their walls, when they're asked what termites might eat within their home. 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.

So long as a material contains cellulose, there is very little that will stop termites from considering it a viable food source. It's common for construction companies to use plasterboard, a material termites are all too happy to eat, to build the walls inside your home. Though the plaster panels themselves used to make drywalls don't contain cellulose, the paper it is wrapped in does, making the walls a valid target for these invasive pests. The termite threat only increases if you allow the drywall to become moist, as that moisture is another resource coveted by the pest. 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. Plasterboard makes for an excellent source of cellulose for any termites that may have wandered into your home.
