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. What we didn't cover, however, was what made these suburbs central to termite activity. Fortunately, Conquer Termites Northside and our team of experts can help you understand what attracts termites to any given suburb. Call us on (07) 3356 8801 if you're facing any problems with termites in Commissioners Flat.
Australia is home to pockets of termites across the country, not an even blanket spread out across every square inch of land. Most pests spend their lives in search of shelter, water, and food, and termites are no exceptions. 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. 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. 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. You should learn what brings termites to any particular suburb, as the pest is spread out at large throughout the country.
What Can I Do To Make Sure My Home Stays Insect-Free?
Generally, insects are best left outside of your home, not welcomed into your bedroom. Unfortunately, that isn't always simple, since bugs and insects can become rather determined to sneak past you when they get the opportunity. Fortunately, Conquer Termites Northside and our incredible team are experts on the matter, and can help you make sure your home is bug-proof. Pest control in Commissioners Flat 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. Prevent large patches of water accumulating by finding and repairing any leaks that may have sprung up in your home. 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. Avoid taking your window screens off for too long, and ensure there are no holes in the screens. 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. Keep uninvited bugs and insects away from your home with these easy steps.
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. Performing a deep clean of your home right after these treatments, however, can cause more damage than you'd expect. 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. Should you need pest control in Commissioners Flat, 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. Of course, that's not to say you need to simply allow mess to pile up and overwhelm you. 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. 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. 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. Despite how tempting it may be, you should not clean your home right after a pest control treatment has been completed.
