Unnecessary termite damage might be able to be avoided by performing a termite inspection in pre-purchase for your new home. Any new home should undergo both a termite inspection and a general building inspection, according to the Queensland Building and Construction Commission. 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. 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. 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.

Over three distinct stages of development, a termite will move through a process called an 'incomplete metamorphosis'. Ranging in colour from white to light brown, translucent eggs are the starting point for a termite's life cycle. 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. Finally, using pheromones, the queen is able to control how these nymphs develop, creating adults that may be workers, soldiers, or other castes. Undergoing three phases during development, a termite's growth is considered to be an incomplete metamorphosis, though they move from infancy to adulthood.

So long as a material contains cellulose, there is very little that will stop termites from considering it a viable food source. It's common for construction companies to use plasterboard, a material termites are all too happy to eat, to build the walls inside your home. 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. 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. Plasterboard makes for an excellent source of cellulose for any termites that may have wandered into your home.
