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. 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 Pinkenba, get in touch with our team on (07) 3356 8801.
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. 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. 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. Avoid any unnecessary termite risks by learning what makes them more common in one suburb over another.
How Do I Keep Insects Out Of My Home?
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. Fortunately, Conquer Termites Northside and our incredible team are experts on the matter, and can help you make sure your home is bug-proof. Call us on (07) 3356 8801 today if you need help with pest control in Pinkenba.
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. 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. It might be best to contact a professional regarding pest control if you haven't been able to repel bugs with these steps. Uninvited insects should be kept away from your home - with these steps, you might be able to get it done.
After A Pest Control Treatment, Should I Clean My Home?
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. 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 Pinkenba you need.
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. 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. 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. Making sure your pest control treatment is effective can be as simple as making sure you don't clean your home immediately after it has been completed.
