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.

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. Before you complete any property purchase, the Queensland Building and Construction Commission will generally recommend you undertake both a termite inspection and a general building inspection. 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. 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. To perform these inspections, you'll need a licensed team of pest controllers, such as Conquer Termites Northside. Protect your new home from unnecessary termite damage by performing a pre-purchase termite inspection.

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. If you're suffering from termites in Closeburn, contact our team on (07) 3356 8801.

There are three main stages in a termite's development, which constitute an 'incomplete metamorphosis'. These pests begin their lives as eggs, which are translucent and can be any colour from white to light brown. These eggs may be tiny, but the naked eye is capable of identifying them. The young workers of the colony care for the young that come from these eggs, which are called nymphs. These nymphs develop according to the queen's pheromones, separating them into their castes. Undergoing three phases during development, a termite's growth is considered to be an incomplete metamorphosis, though they move from infancy to adulthood.

If you're asked to think of what termites might eat in your home, your first thought might be anything directly made of wood. About whether or not termites will eat plasterboard, however, remains a different question, one that not everyone can answer. 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. When you're facing termites in Closeburn, call our team on (07) 3356 8801.

Termites are insatiable, and they will eat anything they can find that contains cellulose. Since internal walls are commonly made of plasterboard, that makes them viable targets. 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. 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. Once termites have begun eating plasterboard, they might leave behind small pinholes you can use to identify them, though its best that you undergo a professional termite inspection if you suspect the pests have invaded your home. Plasterboard makes for an excellent source of cellulose for any termites that may have wandered into your home.
