Why Do Termites Prefer To Gather In Some Suburbs But Not Others?
Our team recently did an analysis of Brisbane suburbs to try and find the places we felt were hardest hit by termites. The reason behind this high termite activity, however, wasn't covered in that analysis. Thankfully, if you want to learn about why termites are attracted to any given suburb, Conquer Termites Northside can help. Call us on (07) 3356 8801 if you're facing any problems with termites in Cashmere.
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. No matter what way they introduce themselves to the suburb, once there, total eradication is unlikely, and it is probably best to simply try and protect your home as thoroughly as you can. Avoid any unnecessary termite risks by learning what makes them more common in one suburb over another.
What Can I Do To Make Sure My Home Stays Insect-Free?
Can I Keep My Home Free From Insects? For most people, it's better if your bedroom remains insect-free. Sometimes that's easier said than done, though, as insects and bugs can be quite determined when it comes to getting into your home. Thankfully, making sure your home remains free of bugs is simple for Conquer Termites Northside and our fantastic team. Pest control in Cashmere 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. Should you still suffer from a pest problem at this stage, then you may need a professional to help you with your pest control. 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?
If you want to keep bugs out of your home, you might find yourself wanting an excellent pest treatment. 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. Thankfully, Conquer Termites Northside and our excellent team can help you take care of your home the right way after getting a pest control treatment. Should you need pest control in Cashmere, 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. It may be better to clean your home just before we arrive, but you should avoid removing cobwebs, because we treat your home for spiders using them. 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.
