Why Do Termites Prefer To Gather In Some Suburbs But Not Others?
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. Call us on (07) 3356 8801 if you're facing any problems with termites in Herston.
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. Poorly-built homes can also allow termites to slip in more easily, which then allows them to being attacking the neighbouring houses. Either way, once termites have become common in the region, it can become very difficult to eradicate them entirely, and it is best that you do everything you can to protect your home and assets from termite damage. You should learn what brings termites to any particular suburb, as the pest is spread out at large throughout the country.

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. Should you need pest control in Herston, 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. 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. Instead, clean your home before we complete our treatment, but don't remove any cobwebs, as our team can use these to treat your home for spiders. Despite how tempting it may be, you should not clean your home right after a pest control treatment has been completed.
