Are Termites Attracted To Certain Suburbs More Than Others?
We did a recent investigation regarding which Brisbane suburbs were worst affected by termites. What we didn't cover, however, was what made these suburbs central to termite activity. Luckily, with some help from Conquer Termites Northside, you can learn everything you need to about why termites are attracted to certain suburbs. If you're facing problems with termites in Ashgrove, 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. Poorly-built homes can also allow termites to slip in more easily, which then allows them to being attacking the neighbouring 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. You should learn what brings termites to any particular suburb, as the pest is spread out at large throughout the country.
Are There Steps I Can Take To Stop Insects From Entering My Home?
In most people, there is a general preference to keep insects out of your home and away from your living spaces. Unfortunately, that isn't always simple, since bugs and insects can become rather determined to sneak past you when they get the opportunity. Luckily, with some help from Conquer Termites Northside and our pest control experts, you'll find that making sure your home is resistant to all bug invasions doesn't always have to be difficult. Call us on (07) 3356 8801 today if you need help with pest control in Ashgrove.
There are a few simple things you can check to make sure that bugs aren't able to sneak into your home. Find any leaks in your home and patch them up to make sure water isn't able to accumulate. Make certain that you're not welcoming pests into your home by ensuring all of your windows and baseboards are sealed correctly, and that any packages you bring inside are pest free. Make sure there are no holes in your window screens, and avoid taking the screens off for too long at any given time, if at all. 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. Keep uninvited bugs and insects away from your home with these easy steps.
After A Pest Control Treatment, Should I Clean My Home?
Your house deserves the best pest control treatments to make sure bugs aren't able to slip inside. Performing a deep clean of your home right after these treatments, however, can cause more damage than you'd expect. Conquer Termites Northside can help you understand exactly what your home will need once you've completed a pest control treatment. Get in touch with us on (07) 3356 8801 for any pest control in Ashgrove you need.
After we complete a pest control treatment for your home, it's most important that you avoid cleaning for at least a week. Mess isn't something you should simply tolerate, naturally. You can continue throwing away garbage as it accumulates, and if you accidentally left any food out while we did our treatment, it might be best to throw that away, too. Performing a deep clean of your home can accidentally wash away the treatment, which needs to sit for a while before it is entirely effective; as such, avoid cleaning your home for at least a week after our treatment. 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. Despite how tempting it may be, you should not clean your home right after a pest control treatment has been completed.
