Not that long ago, we had a look at some key Brisbane suburbs to try and determine which regions were affected by termites the worst. The reason behind this high termite activity, however, wasn't covered in that analysis. Fortunately, Conquer Termites Northside and our team of experts can help you understand what attracts termites to any given suburb. If you're facing problems with termites in Anstead, get in touch with our team on (07) 3356 8801.

Different regions offer termites different resources, which means you'll find them spread out unevenly across the country. Most pests spend their lives in search of shelter, water, and food, and termites are no exceptions. Consequently, any suburb with a high number of gumtrees, melaleuca quinquenervias (paperbark trees), or with a high number of creeks and rivers, may soon find themselves overwhelmed with the pest. Another popular way for termites to infiltrate a suburb is via homes with a lower build quality, where they will begin to build a colony before spreading out into the surrounding houses. It's not generally an option to have every termite in the suburb removed all at once which means that total eradication of the pest becomes nearly impossible, so you should do everything in your power to make sure your home is as safe as it can be. With termite hotspots spread around the country, it's important that you understand what will attract the pest to any given suburb.

Normally, insects tend to belong outside of your home, not allowed to roam free through your halls. Sometimes that's easier said than done, though, as insects and bugs can be quite determined when it comes to getting into your home. Fortunately, Conquer Termites Northside and our incredible team are experts on the matter, and can help you make sure your home is bug-proof. Call us on (07) 3356 8801 today if you need help with pest control in Anstead.

With these easy measures, you might be able to keep bugs away from your living room. Prevent large patches of water accumulating by finding and repairing any leaks that may have sprung up in your home. Seal up any baseboards and windows in your home, and make sure there are no pests in the packages you're bring inside to seal off any obvious entry points. Avoid taking your window screens off for too long, and ensure there are no holes in the screens. In the event that your home is still flooded with bugs, then it might be time to consider reaching out to a professional regarding pest control. By taking these simple measures, you should be able to reduce the number of bugs and insects that sneak uninvited into your home.

Keeping a bug-free home can be as easy as getting a great pest control treatment for your house. Sadly, though you might want to clean your house right after one of these treatments to keep it as spick and span as possible, that might not be the best idea. Fortunately, with the team here at Conquer Termites Northside, you'll be able to understand how best to take care of your home once our team has treated it for bugs. Get in touch with us on (07) 3356 8801 for any pest control in Anstead you need.

Once the pest control treatment is complete, for at least a week, you should avoid cleaning your home. Of course, that's not to say you need to simply allow mess to pile up and overwhelm you. Throw away your garbage as it accumulates, and, of course, if there was any food left out during our treatment, you can feel free to throw that away as well. The treatment does require time to be effective, which means you shouldn't be too quick to perform a deep clean of your home afterwards, as it may rub away the treatment itself. If you can avoid the temptation to clean away cobwebs, which our team uses to treat any spiders in your home, then you are welcome to clean your home before we arrive. Though it may be tempting, you should avoid cleaning your home immediately after a pest control treatment.
