Are Termites Attracted To Certain Suburbs More Than Others?
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.

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. 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.
Can I Keep My Home Free From Insects?
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. If you need help with pest control in Joyner, 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. 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.
How Should I Clean My Home After A Pest Control Treatment?
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. For all pest control in Joyner, 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. 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.
