Do Termites Prefer Some Regions More Than Other Areas?
Recently, we did an investigation into the suburbs of Brisbane worst effected 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. Call us on (07) 3356 8801 if you're facing any problems with termites in Upper Kedron.
Australia is home to pockets of termites across the country, not an even blanket spread out across every square inch of land. Food, water, and shelter are of the highest priorities to most termites, as with many 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. 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. 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?
Generally, insects are best left outside of your home, not welcomed into your bedroom. 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. Pest control in Upper Kedron is easy for our team - reach out to us on (07) 3356 8801 today.
Ensure bugs aren't able to waltz into your home with these simple steps. Find any leaks in your home and patch them up to make sure water isn't able to accumulate. 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. Keep uninvited bugs and insects away from your home with these easy steps.
After A Pest Control Treatment, Should I Clean My Home?
A great pest treatment is an excellent way to keep your home bug-free. 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. Should you need pest control in Upper Kedron, you can reach our team 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. Mess isn't something you should simply tolerate, naturally. 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. Cleaning your home immediately following a pest control treatment can cause it to lose efficiency.
