What Do You Need To Do To Stop Rats Coming In To Your Home?
You probably only want pet rats in your home, with any other vermin being unwelcome pests. Despite this, simply putting up walls doesn't seem to be enough to stop the pests, as they appear to be able to sneak into your home no matter how strong your defences. Keeping the more elusive pests out of your home is a particular speciality of Conquer Termites Northside, and we excel at holding rats at bay.

All pests need both a reason to enter your home as well as a way in, and rats are no exception. The list of priorities for any rat usually consists of shelter, water, and food, so you should focus on making sure they can't find these things on your land. Keep your garbage pins closed at all times and pick and appropriately store any produce you may be growing as soon as you can to make sure there is no food lying about on the ground. Rats are able to fit through gaps as small as two and a half cm, so you should patch any holes in the exterior of your home to keep them from getting in to deprive them of their shelter. Once you've taken these measures, any further rat problem will need to be dealt with by a pest control expert. There are steps you can take to stop rats from sneaking into your home when they're not wanted.

Termites won't be able to hide on your property, thanks to the wide array of tools that we'll use to find them. During pre-purchase termite inspections, our team will normally make liberal use of thermal imaging cameras and moisture meters. Any areas of highly-concentrated moisture will become evident to the moisture meter. Termites crave moisture and will bring it into your home, which means a high level of moisture can suggest an active infestation or the resources necessary to sustain one. Individually, termites don't give off a lot of body heat and won't show up on the thermal imaging camera, but collectively, the colonies will light up orange and can be easily spotted by our team. There are a wide variety of tools used during your pre-purchase termite inspections, all of which help ensure we find any of the pest hiding in your home.

Do your due diligence with a pre-purchase termite inspection from Conquer Termites Northside to make sure your new land isn't hiding any pest-related secrets.
