Why Do Termites Prefer To Gather In Some Suburbs But Not Others?
Recently, we did an 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. Call us on (07) 3356 8801 if you're facing any problems with termites in Bardon.
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. Poorly-built homes can also allow termites to slip in more easily, which then allows them to being attacking the neighbouring houses. Either way, once termites have become common in the region, it can become very difficult to eradicate them entirely, and it is best that you do everything you can to protect your home and assets from termite damage. Considering how spread out termites are in Australia, you should learn what makes them common in a particular region to make sure you're not facing any unnecessary risks.
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. 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. If you're still suffering from insects, then you'll need to reach out to a professional pest control expert, like the members of our fantastic team, for help. Keep uninvited bugs and insects away from your home with these easy steps.
Is It Okay To Clean My Home After A Pest Control Treatment?
A great pest treatment is an excellent way to keep your home bug-free. 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. Should you need pest control in Bardon, you can reach our team 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. 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. Instead, clean your home before we complete our treatment, but don't remove any cobwebs, as our team can use these to treat your home for spiders. Cleaning your home immediately following a pest control treatment can cause it to lose efficiency.
