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. You can easily work out just what attracts termites to any given suburb, thankfully, with a little help from Conquer Termites Northisde.

Termites don't spread out evenly across the country, and instead have regions they prefer to congregate. Shelter, food, and water are of the utmost importance to termites and 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. Alternatively, in suburbs with a lower average build quality, termites might be more easily able to slip into your home and begin to build a colony before spreading into the rest of the community, creating a high termite incidence. 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.
How Do I Keep Insects Out Of My Home?
Generally, insects are best left outside of your home, not welcomed into your bedroom. 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 Beerburrum, contact us on (07) 3356 8801.
There are a few simple things you can check to make sure that bugs aren't able to sneak into your home. Water sources in your home can quickly attract insects and bugs inside, which means you'll need to patch any water leaks that may have sprung. 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. 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. 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. Uninvited insects should be kept away from your home - with these steps, you might be able to get it done.
How Should I 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. 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 Beerburrum, call us on (07) 3356 8801.
After we complete a pest control treatment for your home, it's most important that you avoid cleaning for at least a week. Naturally, you should continue to avoid allowing mess to overtake your home. 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. 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. 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. Making sure your pest control treatment is effective can be as simple as making sure you don't clean your home immediately after it has been completed.
