Why Do Termites Prefer To Gather In Some Suburbs But Not Others?
Not that long ago, we had a look at some key Brisbane suburbs to try and determine which regions were affected by termites the worst. 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. If you're facing problems with termites in Clontarf, get in touch with our team on (07) 3356 8801.
Australia is home to pockets of termites across the country, not an even blanket spread out across every square inch of land. As with most pests, termites are attracted to any region where they can find food, water, and shelter. Consequently, any suburb with a high number of gumtrees, melaleuca quinquenervias (paperbark trees), or with a high number of creeks and rivers, may soon find themselves overwhelmed with the pest. Otherwise, if the average build quality in the region is low, it might be simpler for termites to feast on a home, before the colony rapidly expands into the outlying area. 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. 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?
Normally, insects tend to belong outside of your home, not allowed to roam free through your halls. 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. Call us on (07) 3356 8801 today if you need help with pest control in Clontarf.
Ensure bugs aren't able to waltz into your home with these simple steps. First, make sure that water isn't being allowed to accumulate anywhere, which means checking for leaks and fixing them. Seal up any baseboards and windows in your home, and make sure there are no pests in the packages you're bring inside to seal off any obvious entry points. Replace any window screens with large holes in them, and make sure that when you're cleaning your windows, you don't take the screens off for too long. It might be best to contact a professional regarding pest control if you haven't been able to repel bugs with these steps. Uninvited insects should be kept away from your home - with these steps, you might be able to get it done.
After A Pest Control Treatment, Should I Clean My Home?
Keeping a bug-free home can be as easy as getting a great pest control treatment for your house. 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. Get in touch with us on (07) 3356 8801 for any pest control in Clontarf you need.
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. That doesn't mean you need to let mess accumulate, of course. Throw away your garbage as it accumulates, and, of course, if there was any food left out during our treatment, you can feel free to throw that away as well. However, do avoid performing a deep clean of your home in this time, as it may cause the treatment to rub away before it has had a chance to become effective. 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. 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.
