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. The reason behind this high termite activity, however, wasn't covered in that analysis. Luckily, with some help from Conquer Termites Northside, you can learn everything you need to about why termites are attracted to certain suburbs. If you're facing problems with termites in Welsby, get in touch with our team on (07) 3356 8801.
Termites don't spread out evenly across the country, and instead have regions they prefer to congregate. Shelter, food, and water are of the utmost importance to termites and other pests. 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. 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. You should learn what brings termites to any particular suburb, as the pest is spread out at large throughout the country.
Are There Steps I Can Take To Stop Insects From Entering My Home?
Can I Keep My Home Free From Insects? For most people, it's better if your bedroom remains insect-free.

Luckily, with some help from Conquer Termites Northside and our pest control experts, you'll find that making sure your home is resistant to all bug invasions doesn't always have to be difficult. Call us on (07) 3356 8801 today if you need help with pest control in Welsby.
There are a few simple things you can check to make sure that bugs aren't able to sneak into your home. 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. 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. 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?
If you want to keep bugs out of your home, you might find yourself wanting an excellent pest treatment. 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. Conquer Termites Northside can help you understand exactly what your home will need once you've completed a pest control treatment. Get in touch with us on (07) 3356 8801 for any pest control in Welsby you need.
After we complete a pest control treatment for your home, it's most important that you avoid cleaning for at least a week. Naturally, you should continue to avoid allowing mess to overtake your home. 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. 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. Despite how tempting it may be, you should not clean your home right after a pest control treatment has been completed.
