It's a wise idea to perform a termite inspection during pre-purchase for your new home to make sure you avoid any unnecessary termite damage. 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. 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. Any termite management systems installed in the home, their maintenance needs, and the risk of termite attacks in the area are all additional results of these inspections. Due to its detailed nature, it's important you hire a team of licensed pest controllers, such as Conquer Termites Northside, to undertake these inspections. 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.

Termites undergo an 'incomplete metamorphosis' over the course of three distinct stages. These pests begin their lives as eggs, which are translucent and can be any colour from white to light brown. The naked eye is capable of spotting these eggs, even though they are tiny. The infants that emerge from these eggs are called nymphs, and they're cared for by the colony's young workers. Finally, using pheromones, the queen is able to control how these nymphs develop, creating adults that may be workers, soldiers, or other castes. To undergo an incomplete metamorphosis, termites have three phases in their development.

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

If a material is made of cellulose, then termites will happily eat it. Since internal walls are commonly made of plasterboard, that makes them viable targets. There is cellulose in the paper that is wrapped around plaster panels to make drywall, which means that termites will happily eat their fill. Moisture is one of the few other things valued by termites, which means you'll want to avoid allowing your drywalls to become moist at all costs. If termites have started eating the drywall in your home, you may be able to identify them via small pinholes they leave behind in the plasterboard, but it's best if you organise a professional termite inspection instead. Thanks to their unquenchable desire for cellulose, termites will eat anything they can find containing the substance, including plasterboard.
