Buying a home is a significant decision, with the potential to have financial ramifications for decades to come. Termites and other pests don't understand human contracts and obligations, so it'd make sense if you want to protect your new home from termites before the contract has been finalised and signed. You can perform a termite inspection for any pre-purchase home with a little help from Conquer Termites Northside and our team of expert termite inspectors. For all termites Clontarf, call us on (07) 3356 8801.

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. These inspections, at this stage of the purchase, focuses entirely on the accessible areas of the property, and are entirely visual in nature. 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. With a termite inspection in pre-purchase, you'll be able to help protect your new home from termite damage.

Just as many other creatures, infancy marks the beginning of a termites life cycle, before slowly growing into adults. Not many people would be able to describe that life cycle, as it not common knowledge amongst the general public. 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 Clontarf.

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. Despite their tiny size, these eggs can be seen by the naked eye. 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. Despite the fact that they transition from infancy to adulthood, termites are considered to undergo an incomplete metamorphosis.

If you're asked to think of what termites might eat in your home, your first thought might be anything directly made of wood.

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. That includes the plasterboard commonly used to construct interior walls. 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. 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. When termites find themselves within your home, your plasterboard and the cellulose it contains may present an enticing meal.
