Not that long ago, we had a investigation into the suburbs of Brisbane worst effected by termites. 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 Arana Hills, get in touch with our team on (07) 3356 8801.

Termites don't spread out evenly across the country, and instead have regions they prefer to congregate. Food, water, and shelter are of the highest priorities to most termites, as with many other pests. This means that suburbs with lots of trees, such as gumtrees or melaleuca quinquenervias (commonly known as paperbark trees), or with regions with high moisture retention, like creeks or rivers, can quickly find themselves swarming with termites. 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. Avoid any unnecessary termite risks by learning what makes them more common in one suburb over another.

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. That's not to say it's always difficult, thankfully, as with some help from Conquer Termites Northside and our outstanding team, you'll quickly be able to make your home a bug-free fortress. If you need help with pest control in Arana Hills, contact us on (07) 3356 8801.

Ensure bugs aren't able to waltz into your home with these simple steps. First, make sure that water isn't being allowed to accumulate anywhere, which means checking for leaks and fixing them. 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. Finally, make sure your window screens don't have any holes in them, and avoid taking out the window screens for extended periods of time. Should you still suffer from a pest problem at this stage, then you may need a professional to help you with your 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. Luckily, if you want to take the right steps once we've worked in your home to make sure our pest control treatments are effective, you can rely on Conquer Termites Northside to help explain how. For all pest control in Arana Hills, call us on (07) 3356 8801.

Pest control treatments will need to sit for at least a week to make sure they're effective, which means you won't be able to do a deep clean for that time. That doesn't mean you need to let mess accumulate, of course. 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. To ensure the treatment is effective, you should, however, avoid performing a deep clean of your home, as you may rub away the treatment prematurely. It may be better to clean your home just before we arrive, but you should avoid removing cobwebs, because we treat your home for spiders using them. Though it may be tempting, you should avoid cleaning your home immediately after a pest control treatment.
