Why Do Termites Prefer To Gather In Some Suburbs But Not Others?
Recently, we did an investigation into the suburbs of Brisbane worst effected by termites. 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. 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. 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. 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 Neurum, contact us on (07) 3356 8801.
Ensure bugs aren't able to waltz into your home with these simple steps. 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. 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. 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 Neurum, 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. 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. 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.
