Why Do Termites Prefer To Gather In Some Suburbs But Not Others?
Our team recently did an analysis of Brisbane suburbs to try and find the places we felt were hardest hit by termites. What we didn't cover, however, was what made these suburbs central to termite activity. Fortunately, Conquer Termites Northside and our team of experts can help you understand what attracts termites to any given suburb.

You won't find termites concentrated in any one place in Australia, and will instead find them spread out haphazardly around the country. Most pests spend their lives in search of shelter, water, and food, and termites are no exceptions. 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. Another popular way for termites to infiltrate a suburb is via homes with a lower build quality, where they will begin to build a colony before spreading out into the surrounding 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. 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?
Can I Keep My Home Free From Insects? For most people, it's better if your bedroom remains insect-free. Unfortunately, that isn't always simple, since bugs and insects can become rather determined to sneak past you when they get the opportunity. Fortunately, Conquer Termites Northside and our incredible team are experts on the matter, and can help you make sure your home is bug-proof. If you need help with pest control in Samford Valley, contact us on (07) 3356 8801.
Keeping bugs out of your home can be as simple as a few easy steps. Prevent large patches of water accumulating by finding and repairing any leaks that may have sprung up in your home. 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. Avoid taking your window screens off for too long, and ensure there are no holes in the screens. 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.
After A Pest Control Treatment, Should I Clean My Home?
If you want to keep bugs out of your home, you might find yourself wanting an excellent pest treatment. Performing a deep clean of your home right after these treatments, however, can cause more damage than you'd expect. 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.

It's best if you avoid cleaning for at least a week after completing a pest control treatment in your home. Of course, that's not to say you need to simply allow mess to pile up and overwhelm you. 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. The treatment does require time to be effective, which means you shouldn't be too quick to perform a deep clean of your home afterwards, as it may rub away the treatment itself. 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.
