Do Termites Prefer Some Regions More Than Other Areas?
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 won't find termites concentrated in any one place in Australia, and will instead find them spread out haphazardly around the country. Shelter, food, and water are of the utmost importance to termites and other pests. Subsequently, the pest loves any suburbs that has a high moisture retention level, such as regions covered in creeks and rivers, and they also love parklands and large quantities of trees. 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. With termite hotspots spread around the country, it's important that you understand what will attract the pest to any given suburb.
Can I Keep My Home Free From Insects?

Keeping bugs out of your home can be as simple as a few easy 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. Windows and baseboards need to be entirely sealed to make certain there aren't any easy ways to enter your home, and you will also need to check your packages for pests to ensure you're not bringing them into your home yourself. 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. By taking these simple measures, you should be able to reduce the number of bugs and insects that sneak uninvited into your home.
Once A Pest Control Treatment Has Been Completed, Can I Clean My House?
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. For all pest control in Bridgeman Downs, 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. Naturally, you should continue to avoid allowing mess to overtake your home. Dispose of any food that you may have left out during our treatment, and continue to keep your home free of garbage as you normally would. 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. Though it may be tempting, you should avoid cleaning your home immediately after a pest control treatment.
