Unnecessary termite damage might be able to be avoided by performing a termite inspection in pre-purchase for your new home. 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. 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. You won't be able to perform these inspections yourself thanks to the complicated legal and practical nature of the work, and will instead need to hire a licensed and qualified team of pest professionals to perform them, like Conquer Termites Northside. 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.

Over three distinct stages of development, a termite will move through a process called an 'incomplete metamorphosis'. 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. The infants that emerge from these eggs are called nymphs, and they're cared for by the colony's young workers. The queen's pheromones is able to control the development of a nymph into adulthood, ensuring they become the worker, solider, or other caste member that they need to be. To undergo an incomplete metamorphosis, termites have three phases in their development.

So long as a material contains cellulose, there is very little that will stop termites from considering it a viable food source. 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. 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. Though you should perform a professional inspection for termites on your home if you have even the faintest doubt that the pests have invaded your home, you may also be able to identify them via the pinholes they leave behind in your walls. Thanks to their unquenchable desire for cellulose, termites will eat anything they can find containing the substance, including plasterboard.
