If you want to avoid allowing termite damage to befall your new home, then getting a termite inspection during pre-purchase is an excellent choice. 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. 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. 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. With a termite inspection in pre-purchase, you'll be able to help protect your new home from termite damage.

The development of a termite is called an 'incomplete metamorphosis', and is comprised of three main stages. 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 infants that emerge from these eggs are called nymphs, and they're cared for by the colony's young workers. To determine whether these nymphs develop into workers, soldiers, or other castes, the queen uses pheromones to control their development. Despite the fact that they transition from infancy to adulthood, termites are considered to undergo an incomplete metamorphosis.

Cellulose is the food of choice for termites, and they will eat anything they can find that contains it. 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. 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. 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. When termites find themselves within your home, your plasterboard and the cellulose it contains may present an enticing meal.
