Do Termites Prefer Some Regions More Than Other Areas?
We did a recent investigation regarding which Brisbane suburbs were worst affected by termites. That investigation didn't cover why these regions are so hard hit by the pests, however. Fortunately, Conquer Termites Northside and our team of experts can help you understand what attracts termites to any given suburb.

You won't find termites concentrated in any one place in Australia, and will instead find them spread out haphazardly around the country. As with most pests, termites are attracted to any region where they can find food, water, and shelter. 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. Regardless of how they infiltrate your region, it's important that you do your best to protect your home, as completing removing the termites from the area is unlikely. You should learn what brings termites to any particular suburb, as the pest is spread out at large throughout the country.
How Do I Keep Insects Out Of My Home?

Keeping bugs out of your home can be as simple as a few easy steps. First, make sure that water isn't being allowed to accumulate anywhere, which means checking for leaks and fixing them. 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. Avoid taking your window screens off for too long, and ensure there are no holes in the screens. It might be best to contact a professional regarding pest control if you haven't been able to repel bugs with these steps. Keep uninvited bugs and insects away from your home with these easy steps.
How Should I Clean My Home After A Pest Control Treatment?
Your house deserves the best pest control treatments to make sure bugs aren't able to slip inside. With that in mind, you should avoid performing a rigorous cleaning in the time following one of these treatments, as it can undermine the effectiveness of our work. 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. For all pest control in Banksia Beach, call us on (07) 3356 8801.
It's best if you avoid cleaning for at least a week after completing a pest control treatment in your home. That doesn't mean you need to let mess accumulate, of course. 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. 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. You're welcome to clean your home before we perform our treatment, though you shouldn't clean up any cobwebs that you may find - our team will use the cobwebs to treat for spiders. Despite how tempting it may be, you should not clean your home right after a pest control treatment has been completed.
