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. 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. 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. 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.

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. The naked eye is capable of spotting these eggs, even though they are tiny. Nymphs hatch from these eggs, and are cared for by the young workers of the colony. 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. However, not everyone is certain as to whether or not these pests will eat the rest of their walls, including their plasterboard. Luckily, answering that question is no challenge for Conquer Termites Northside and our termite experts. Get in touch with us on (07) 3356 8801 today to make deal with any termites in Kallangur with ease.

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. There is cellulose in the paper that is wrapped around plaster panels to make drywall, which means that termites will happily eat their fill. 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. 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.
