Rain Affects Pest Treatment in North Brisbane - True or False?

Wed 13 Nov 2019
How rain affects pest treatment is something we get asked about a lot here at Conquer Termites Northside. Living in Queensland and particularly North Brisbane, this area is known for its wild rain events. Its these events that have some customers worried that all their pest treatments will go to waste. We thought we'd clear this up for our customers.

The follow up to how rain affects pest treatment is usually something about wanting to cancel appointments. A short answer to this is that it's true, rain could potentially affect your pest treatment. We advise customers not to cancel any appointments though.

A large part of pest treatment happens inside the home. The way we operate is that we want to keep pests outdoors. The indoors of your home is the best place to make this happen. It's where a large portion of our appointment will take place, which is why we tell you to go ahead with any appointments. Although rain affects pest treatments, rain doesn't affect the inside of your house. Keeping your original appointment means we get into your home as quick as possible to ensure the inside treatments are done.

The way that rain affects pest treatment actually depends on the rain itself. For an external spraying to be affected, it takes a very heavy rain. Keeping that in mind, a drizzle is not an issue. So again, this is why we tell customers to go ahead with their appointments even if there is bad weather. On the off chance we can't complete an external spray, we can always come back. At least until that happens, you'll know the inside of your home's protected.

The idea that rain affects pest treatment can be off-putting to customers. We hope this clears a few things up about that though. If you do have any questions or would like to book an appointment, our friendly team can help you. Give us a call at Conquer Termites Northside on (07) 3356 8801 today.
