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. The reason behind this high termite activity, however, wasn't covered in that analysis. Thankfully, if you want to learn about why termites are attracted to any given suburb, Conquer Termites Northside can help. For help with all termites in Indooroopilly, call us on (07) 3356 8801.

Termites don't spread out evenly across the country, and instead have regions they prefer to congregate. 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. Alternatively, in suburbs with a lower average build quality, termites might be more easily able to slip into your home and begin to build a colony before spreading into the rest of the community, creating a high termite incidence. 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. Considering how spread out termites are in Australia, you should learn what makes them common in a particular region to make sure you're not facing any unnecessary risks.

Normally, insects tend to belong outside of your home, not allowed to roam free through your halls. Sometimes that's easier said than done, though, as insects and bugs can be quite determined when it comes to getting into your home. Thankfully, making sure your home remains free of bugs is simple for Conquer Termites Northside and our fantastic team. If you need help with pest control in Indooroopilly, contact us on (07) 3356 8801.

There are a few simple things you can check to make sure that bugs aren't able to sneak into your home. 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. Finally, make sure your window screens don't have any holes in them, and avoid taking out the window screens for extended periods of time. 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.

Keeping a bug-free home can be as easy as getting a great pest control treatment for your house. Sadly, though you might want to clean your house right after one of these treatments to keep it as spick and span as possible, that might not be the best idea. 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. For all pest control in Indooroopilly, call us on (07) 3356 8801.

After we complete a pest control treatment for your home, it's most important that you avoid cleaning for at least a week. 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. To ensure the treatment is effective, you should, however, avoid performing a deep clean of your home, as you may rub away the treatment prematurely. 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. Cleaning your home immediately following a pest control treatment can cause it to lose efficiency.
