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. 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. Additionally, this inspection will also tell you whether or not there have been termite management systems installed in the home previously, and how to maintain them if so, as well as the general risk of termite attacks in the area. 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. Carrying out a termite inspection during pre-purchase is an easy way to prevent some unnecessary termite damage to your new home.

Termites undergo an 'incomplete metamorphosis' over the course of three distinct stages. 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. Nymphs hatch from these eggs, and are cared for by the young workers of the colony. Finally, using pheromones, the queen is able to control how these nymphs develop, creating adults that may be workers, soldiers, or other castes. As part of their incomplete metamorphosis, there are three phases in the development of a termite.

When people think of the termites, they might picture sprawling nests hidden within their walls, feasting on the wooden supports buried within. Not many people know what else termites might eat, though, such as the plasterboard their walls are made of. 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.

If a material is made of cellulose, then termites will happily eat it. 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. Additionally, allowing moisture to build up on your walls can make them a more tempting target for termites, and may increase the threat of an infestation in your home. 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. Due to their need to constantly consume cellulose, termites are constantly searching for a source of the substance, and will eat plasterboard if they can find it.
