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. A termite inspection, at this stage, focuses on the accessible areas of the property, performing a visual investigation to determine if there is evidence of active termites or termite damage. 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. 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.

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. These eggs may be tiny, but the naked eye is capable of identifying them. 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. To undergo an incomplete metamorphosis, termites have three phases in their development.

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. Though the plaster panels themselves used to make drywalls don't contain cellulose, the paper it is wrapped in does, making the walls a valid target for these invasive pests. 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. Thanks to their unquenchable desire for cellulose, termites will eat anything they can find containing the substance, including plasterboard.
