Are Termites Attracted To Certain Suburbs More Than Others?
We did a recent investigation regarding which Brisbane suburbs were worst affected 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. If you're facing problems with termites in Mount Glorious, get in touch with our team on (07) 3356 8801.
Different regions offer termites different resources, which means you'll find them spread out unevenly across the country. 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. Poorly-built homes can also allow termites to slip in more easily, which then allows them to being attacking the neighbouring 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. 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.
Can I Keep My Home Free From Insects?
In most people, there is a general preference to keep insects out of your home and away from your living spaces.

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. Call us on (07) 3356 8801 today if you need help with pest control in Mount Glorious.
With these easy measures, you might be able to keep bugs away from your living room. 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. 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. 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.
After A Pest Control Treatment, Should I Clean My Home?
Your house deserves the best pest control treatments to make sure bugs aren't able to slip inside. 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. Get in touch with us on (07) 3356 8801 for any pest control in Mount Glorious you need.
Once the pest control treatment is complete, for at least a week, you should avoid cleaning your home. 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. 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. 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. Cleaning your home immediately following a pest control treatment can cause it to lose efficiency.
