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. Luckily, with some help from Conquer Termites Northside, you can learn everything you need to about why termites are attracted to certain suburbs. Call us on (07) 3356 8801 if you're facing any problems with termites in Bellmere.
Australia is home to pockets of termites across the country, not an even blanket spread out across every square inch of land. 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. 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. Avoid any unnecessary termite risks by learning what makes them more common in one suburb over another.
Are There Steps I Can Take To Stop Insects From Entering 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. 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. Pest control in Bellmere is easy for our team - reach out to us on (07) 3356 8801 today.
Ensure bugs aren't able to waltz into your home with these simple steps. 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. 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. Uninvited insects should be kept away from your home - with these steps, you might be able to get it done.
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. Conquer Termites Northside can help you understand exactly what your home will need once you've completed a pest control treatment. Should you need pest control in Bellmere, you can reach our team on (07) 3356 8801.
Pest control treatments will need to sit for at least a week to make sure they're effective, which means you won't be able to do a deep clean for that time. 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. 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. 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.
