It's a wise idea to perform a termite inspection during pre-purchase for your new home to make sure you avoid any unnecessary termite damage. 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. The maintenance needs of any installed termite management systems, as well as the risk of termites attacking your home based on its locality, will also be returned as a result of this inspection. Due to its detailed nature, it's important you hire a team of licensed pest controllers, such as Conquer Termites Northside, to undertake these inspections. Carrying out a termite inspection during pre-purchase is an easy way to prevent some unnecessary termite damage to your new home.

Termites undergo an 'incomplete metamorphosis' over the course of three distinct 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. From these eggs hatch nymphs, and the young workers of the colony care for these infants. Finally, using pheromones, the queen is able to control how these nymphs develop, creating adults that may be workers, soldiers, or other castes. As part of their incomplete metamorphosis, there are three phases in the development of a termite.

If a material is made of cellulose, then termites will happily eat 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. The termite threat only increases if you allow the drywall to become moist, as that moisture is another resource coveted by the pest. If termites have started eating the drywall in your home, you may be able to identify them via small pinholes they leave behind in the plasterboard, but it's best if you organise a professional termite inspection instead. Due to their need to constantly consume cellulose, termites are constantly searching for a source of the substance, and will eat plasterboard if they can find it.
