Why Do Termites Prefer To Gather In Some Suburbs But Not Others?
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. 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. 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. Another popular way for termites to infiltrate a suburb is via homes with a lower build quality, where they will begin to build a colony before spreading out into the surrounding 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.
Can I Keep My Home Free From Insects?
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. 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 Kenmore Hills, 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. 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. Avoid taking your window screens off for too long, and ensure there are no holes in the screens. If you're still suffering from insects, then you'll need to reach out to a professional pest control expert, like the members of our fantastic team, for help. Keep uninvited bugs and insects away from your home with these easy steps.
How Should I Clean My Home After A Pest Control Treatment?
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. 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 Kenmore Hills, 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. 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. The treatment does require time to be effective, which means you shouldn't be too quick to perform a deep clean of your home afterwards, as it may rub away the treatment itself. 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.
