What Makes A Suburb Bad For Termites?
Our team recently did an analysis of Brisbane suburbs to try and find the places we felt were hardest hit by termites. The reason behind this high termite activity, however, wasn't covered in that analysis. Fortunately, Conquer Termites Northside and our team of experts can help you understand what attracts termites to any given suburb. If you're facing problems with termites in Kurwongbah, get in touch with our team on (07) 3356 8801.
You won't find termites concentrated in any one place in Australia, and will instead find them spread out haphazardly around the country. 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. 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. 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. 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.
What Can I Do To Make Sure My Home Stays Insect-Free?

Keeping bugs out of your home can be as simple as a few easy 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. 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. 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. Keep uninvited bugs and insects away from your home with these easy steps.
How Should I Clean My Home After A Pest Control Treatment?
If you want to keep bugs out of your home, you might find yourself wanting an excellent pest treatment. 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. Fortunately, with the team here at Conquer Termites Northside, you'll be able to understand how best to take care of your home once our team has treated it for bugs. Get in touch with us on (07) 3356 8801 for any pest control in Kurwongbah you need.
It's best if you avoid cleaning for at least a week after completing a pest control treatment in your home. 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. 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. 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. Cleaning your home immediately following a pest control treatment can cause it to lose efficiency.
