However, for some people, there still remains a burning question about why these suburbs are hit so hard by the pests.

If you're facing problems with termites in Wooloowin, 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. As with most pests, termites are attracted to any region where they can find food, water, and shelter. 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. With termite hotspots spread around the country, it's important that you understand what will attract the pest to any given suburb.

Generally, insects are best left outside of your home, not welcomed into your bedroom. However, the act of keeping them out can quickly become complicated, and there are a number of things you should check to make sure insects aren't interested in sneaking into your home when you're not looking. Fortunately, Conquer Termites Northside and our incredible team are experts on the matter, and can help you make sure your home is bug-proof. Call us on (07) 3356 8801 today if you need help with pest control in Wooloowin.

There are a few simple things you can check to make sure that bugs aren't able to sneak into your home. First, make sure that water isn't being allowed to accumulate anywhere, which means checking for leaks and fixing them. 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. By taking these simple measures, you should be able to reduce the number of bugs and insects that sneak uninvited into your home.

A great pest treatment is an excellent way to keep your home bug-free. However, cleaning your home immediately after these treatments may not be as beneficial as it would seem. 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. Get in touch with us on (07) 3356 8801 for any pest control in Wooloowin 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. That doesn't mean you need to let mess accumulate, of course. 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. Though it may be tempting, you should avoid cleaning your home immediately after a pest control treatment.
