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. What we didn't cover, however, was what made these suburbs central to termite activity. 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 Mount Cootha, call us on (07) 3356 8801.

Termites don't spread out evenly across the country, and instead have regions they prefer to congregate. 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. Poorly-built homes can also allow termites to slip in more easily, which then allows them to being attacking the neighbouring houses. Regardless of how they infiltrate your region, it's important that you do your best to protect your home, as completing removing the termites from the area is unlikely. With termite hotspots spread around the country, it's important that you understand what will attract the pest to any given suburb.

Normally, insects tend to belong outside of your home, not allowed to roam free through your halls. Unfortunately, that isn't always simple, since bugs and insects can become rather determined to sneak past you when they get the opportunity. 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 Mount Cootha, 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. 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. Make sure there are no holes in your window screens, and avoid taking the screens off for too long at any given time, if at all. It might be best to contact a professional regarding pest control if you haven't been able to repel bugs with these steps. By taking these simple measures, you should be able to reduce the number of bugs and insects that sneak uninvited into your home.

Keeping a bug-free home can be as easy as getting a great pest control treatment for your house. Performing a deep clean of your home right after these treatments, however, can cause more damage than you'd expect. 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 Mount Cootha, 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. 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. 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. You're welcome to clean your home before we perform our treatment, though you shouldn't clean up any cobwebs that you may find - our team will use the cobwebs to treat for spiders. Though it may be tempting, you should avoid cleaning your home immediately after a pest control treatment.
