Do Termites Prefer Some Regions More Than Other Areas?
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. You can easily work out just what attracts termites to any given suburb, thankfully, with a little help from Conquer Termites Northisde. Reach out to our team on (07) 3356 8801 the moment that termites in Figtree Pocket begin to bother you.
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. With termite hotspots spread around the country, it's important that you understand what will attract the pest to any given suburb.
How Do I Keep Insects Out Of My Home?
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. That's not to say it's always difficult, thankfully, as with some help from Conquer Termites Northside and our outstanding team, you'll quickly be able to make your home a bug-free fortress. You can contact our team on (07) 3356 8801 if you're facing any problems with pest control in Figtree Pocket.
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. 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?
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. Luckily, if you want to take the right steps once we've worked in your home to make sure our pest control treatments are effective, you can rely on Conquer Termites Northside to help explain how. Contact us on (07) 3356 8801 to get the pest control in Figtree Pocket that your home requires.
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. Though it may be tempting, you should avoid cleaning your home immediately after a pest control treatment.
