Are Termites Attracted To Certain Suburbs More Than 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. 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. If you're facing problems with termites in Toowong, get in touch with our team on (07) 3356 8801.
You won't find termites concentrated in any one place in Australia, and will instead find them spread out haphazardly around the country. 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. 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. No matter what way they introduce themselves to the suburb, once there, total eradication is unlikely, and it is probably best to simply try and protect your home as thoroughly as you can. You should learn what brings termites to any particular suburb, as the pest is spread out at large throughout the country.
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. 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. Call us on (07) 3356 8801 today if you need help with pest control in Toowong.
Keeping bugs out of your home can be as simple as a few easy steps. 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. Avoid taking your window screens off for too long, and ensure there are no holes in the screens. Should you still suffer from a pest problem at this stage, then you may need a professional to help you with your 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?
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. Get in touch with us on (07) 3356 8801 for any pest control in Toowong you need.
It's best if you avoid cleaning for at least a week after completing a pest control treatment in your home. 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. 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. It may be better to clean your home just before we arrive, but you should avoid removing cobwebs, because we treat your home for spiders using them. Despite how tempting it may be, you should not clean your home right after a pest control treatment has been completed.
