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. 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. This visual inspection searches for evidence of active termite infestation or termite damage by checking the accessible areas of the property. 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. Protect your new home from unnecessary termite damage by performing a pre-purchase termite inspection.

Instead of beginning life as adults, termites must grow up from infancy. How that life cycle transpires, however, is not common knowledge to most people. Understanding the life cycle of this pervasive pest is easy with Conquer Termites Northside and our local experts. Call us on (07) 3356 8801 to solve any problems you have with termites in Toorbul.

The development of a termite is called an 'incomplete metamorphosis', and is comprised of three main stages. The first stage is the egg, which range in colour from white to light brown and are translucent. While these eggs might be tiny, even the naked eye is capable of spotting them. 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. Undergoing three phases during development, a termite's growth is considered to be an incomplete metamorphosis, though they move from infancy to adulthood.

Many people think of wooden objects, like the support structures within their walls, when they're asked what termites might eat within their home. Whether or not termites will eat the rest of their walls, such as the plasterboard, remains a mystery to some people, however. 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. Call us on (07) 3356 8801 for help with all termites in Toorbul.

Cellulose is the food of choice for termites, and they will eat anything they can find that contains it. That includes the plasterboard commonly used to construct interior walls. Drywall is constructed, in simple terms, by wrapped plasterboards in a paper-like material, and while the plasterboards don't contain cellulose, the paper does. 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. Plasterboard makes for an excellent source of cellulose for any termites that may have wandered into your home.
