Should You Sell A Home With Termite Damage?
Your home won't attract as high a price as possible if you sell it with an active termite infestation. Any prospective buyer will need to spend money dealing with the infestation, resulting in a lower purchase price. Thankfully, however, that doesn't mean that any termite damage done in the past necessarily needs to damage your bottom line. With Conquer Termites Northside, you'll be able to do everything necessary to protect your home from losing value. To get in touch with our outstanding team, contact us on (07) 3356 8801.
Once termites have begun to eat away at your home, you may feel that its value is at threat, but there are some simple steps you can take to protect it. Because of how hard it is to retain value with an active infestation eating away at your home, you should first focus on keeping the property free of all termites. Professional termite treatments, as well as the appropriate long-term barriers, is all that's needed to keep your home free of the pests. Selling your home for its original value is as simple, now that the infestation has been treated and further infections have been prevented, as restoring it to its original state by repairing any damage that may have been inflicted. There's still a chance that your home may sell for its full value, even if it has suffered from termites in the past.

Not every pest warrants an immediate professional response, but that doesn't mean you should take infestations lightly. If you've spotted a single ant in your home, that doesn't necessarily mean that you need to professionally treat your home for pests. An open window or doorway is all it takes to let a fly or ant in to your home, which means that these lone creatures don't necessarily mark the presence of an unwanted colony hidden within your house. It will be team to contact your professional pest controllers, however, when ants and flies start invading your home in force, especially if all of the doors and windows have been closed. There is an inherent risk presented to your property by even individual pests in certain circumstances, which means you'll need to perform a professional pest control treatment even if you've only found a single termite or bedbug. Even individual pests can present a risk to your property, which means you always need to take any threat seriously.
Will Termites Avoid Some Wood Types?
The never-ending appetite of a termite can be easily disrupted by introducing certain elements and limitations. Thankfully, Conquer Termites Northside and our experts on termites in Booroobin are more than capable of helping you understand which types of wood aren't suitable for the pest to eat.

The majority of homes use wood during the construction process, and by choosing the right woods, your home may be safer from the threat of termites. Any wood that has been embedded with preservatives as part of a pressure treatment will become more resistant to rot, decay, and the growth of fungi, making it a less viable food-source for any local termites. Alternatively, the type of wood used in the construction of your home can also have an impact on how attractive the property is to termites. Certain types of lumber, such as that procured from yellow cedars and redwoods, aren't attractive to termites, and nor are the non-living central cores of trees, which is known as heartwood. Depending on your needs, however, the compromise these woods present in terms of durability may be untenable. Composite materials made of wood fibres and plastic make for an ideal building material, as they are both suitably durable and largely inedible to termites. Using the right materials during the construction of your home can help reduce the effect that termites will have on your property.
