What Makes A Suburb Bad For Termites?
We did a recent investigation regarding which Brisbane suburbs were worst affected by termites. However, for some people, there still remains a burning question about why these suburbs are hit so hard by the pests. Thankfully, if you want to learn about why termites are attracted to any given suburb, Conquer Termites Northside can help. If you're facing problems with termites in Enoggera, get in touch with our team on (07) 3356 8801.
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. 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. 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. With termite hotspots spread around the country, it's important that you understand what will attract the pest to any given suburb.
What Can I Do To Make Sure My Home Stays Insect-Free?
In most people, there is a general preference to keep insects out of your home and away from your living spaces. However, the act of keeping them out can quickly become complicated, and there are a number of things you should check to make sure insects aren't interested in sneaking into your home when you're not looking. Thankfully, making sure your home remains free of bugs is simple for Conquer Termites Northside and our fantastic team. Call us on (07) 3356 8801 today if you need help with pest control in Enoggera.
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. 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. 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. By taking these simple measures, you should be able to reduce the number of bugs and insects that sneak uninvited into your home.
After A Pest Control Treatment, Should I Clean My Home?
Your house deserves the best pest control treatments to make sure bugs aren't able to slip inside. However, cleaning your home immediately after these treatments may not be as beneficial as it would seem. 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. Get in touch with us on (07) 3356 8801 for any pest control in Enoggera you need.
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. 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. 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. Though it may be tempting, you should avoid cleaning your home immediately after a pest control treatment.
