What Makes A Suburb Bad For Termites?
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. 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.

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. 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. 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. 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. You should learn what brings termites to any particular suburb, as the pest is spread out at large throughout the country.
How Do I Keep Insects Out Of My Home?
Normally, insects tend to belong outside of your home, not allowed to roam free through your halls. 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. If you need help with pest control in Donnybrook, contact us on (07) 3356 8801.
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. 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. 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. Should you still suffer from a pest problem at this stage, then you may need a professional to help you with your pest control. Keep uninvited bugs and insects away from your home with these easy steps.
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. 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. For all pest control in Donnybrook, call us 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. That doesn't mean you need to let mess accumulate, of course. 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. 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. 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. Despite how tempting it may be, you should not clean your home right after a pest control treatment has been completed.
