What Do Dead Termites Mean?
Finding dead termites in your home can result in a flurry of emotions. Is your home actively in danger, or has the risk passed? The number one team of termite inspectors in Geebung, Conquer Termites Northside, can help you understand what it means to find dead termites in your home.
Active termites are more likely to leave dead termites in your home than inactive ones. To look for sources of light, termites can swarm the surface. When these termite swarms fail to find soil within a few hours of surfacing, however, as would commonly be the case within a home, some will die of dehydration. The death of a few termites, however, is not enough to harm the colony, which will continue to survive under or within your home. Thankfully, Conquer Termites Northside can help with all matters relating to termites in Geebung, and can help you find any infestations in your home. When you find dead termites in your home, you should consider the possibility that there is an active infestation somewhere on your property.

What Brings Termites To My Home?
Your home is generally one of your largest long-term investments, so you probably want to do everything you can to keep it safe. Avoiding termites in Geebung, thankfully, is simple.
Where they can find food, termites will build nests. With their insatiable appetite for soft and rotting wood, termites love damp and moist places. Firewood and other piles of wood cuts, for instance, are common problems. To help protect your home, you'll want to move these piles 6 metres away from your house, and leave them at least 30cm off the ground. Additionally, dead trees, rotted stumps, as well as tree limbs and leaves in contact with the roof of your house, can all attract termites to your home, as will stockpiles of mulch. Finally, clogged gutters can result in the wood of your home becoming damp or rotting, providing easy access for termites. Thankfully, by taking the required measures to account for these complications, you'll be able to avoid attracting termites to your Geebung home.
Wanting to protect your home from pests and termites is not unusual. Thankfully, you can call Conquer Termites Northside on (07) 3356 8801, and we'll be able to provide outstanding termite advice in Geebung.
