Are Termites Attracted To Certain Suburbs More Than Others?
Recently, we did an investigation into the suburbs of Brisbane worst effected by termites. The reason behind this high termite activity, however, wasn't covered in that analysis. You can easily work out just what attracts termites to any given suburb, thankfully, with a little help from Conquer Termites Northisde. Call us on (07) 3356 8801 if you're facing any problems with termites in Wights Mountain.
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. 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. 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. Sometimes that's easier said than done, though, as insects and bugs can be quite determined when it comes to getting into your home. That's not to say it's always difficult, thankfully, as with some help from Conquer Termites Northside and our outstanding team, you'll quickly be able to make your home a bug-free fortress. Pest control in Wights Mountain is easy for our team - reach out to us on (07) 3356 8801 today.
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. 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?
A great pest treatment is an excellent way to keep your home bug-free. 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. Luckily, if you want to take the right steps once we've worked in your home to make sure our pest control treatments are effective, you can rely on Conquer Termites Northside to help explain how. Should you need pest control in Wights Mountain, you can reach our team on (07) 3356 8801.
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. 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. Cleaning your home immediately following a pest control treatment can cause it to lose efficiency.
