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. These inspections, at this stage of the purchase, focuses entirely on the accessible areas of the property, and are entirely visual in nature. 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. 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. Protect your new home from unnecessary termite damage by performing a pre-purchase termite inspection.

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. Despite their tiny size, these eggs can be seen by the naked eye. From these eggs hatch nymphs, and the young workers of the colony care for these infants. To determine whether these nymphs develop into workers, soldiers, or other castes, the queen uses pheromones to control their development. 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. The leading experts on all matters related to termites, Conquer Termites Northside, can help you understand what parts of your home are at risk of the pests.

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. 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. The termite threat only increases if you allow the drywall to become moist, as that moisture is another resource coveted by the pest. 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. Plasterboard makes for an excellent source of cellulose for any termites that may have wandered into your home.
