Active termite infections will always have an adverse effect on the price of your home when it comes time to sell it. Because the new owner will need to pay for the termite treatment themselves, they won't be as willing to pay you a decent price for your home. Previous termite infestations, however, are significantly different from active ones, and your home may still be able to sell for close to, if not the entirety of, its full value. Protecting your home from losing value due to termites in Hamilton is simple with help from the leading team of local professionals, Conquer Termites Northside. Call us on (07) 3356 8801 to contact our phenomenal team.

There are an array of simple things you can do to protect the value of your home, even after termites have begun to eat away at it. First, at the moment of closing for the home sale, you'll want to make sure that the home is free of any current infestations of termites. Immediately after finding the previous infestation, you should have contacted a termite professional, who will have treated the infestation and installed the appropriate long-term barriers; if, for whatever reason, one of these steps was skipped, simply contact another professional and ensure your home is protected. The final step to retaining value is as simple as repairing any damage that may have been inflicted, restoring your home to as close a state as it was originally in as possible. Any termites you may have encountered in the past don't necessarily have to lower your property value.

Professional pest control is best conducted in the right time and place. Not every situation demands for a professional treatment for pest control in Hamilton, making it difficult to determine when you need to reach out to the right team. Thankfully, you can always depend on our leading team here at Conquer Termites Northside to make sure you can determine when you need professional pest control in your home. Contact us today on (07) 3356 8801.

Though you should never take an infestation of pests lightly, that doesn't mean you always need to reach out to the professionals. There's no need for a professional pest treatment for your home if you've only found a single, isolated ant. In the case of lone ants and flies, it's always possible that you've just left a door or window open, rather than having fallen victim to a hidden, insidious hive of pests. If, after closing every door and window your home has, you find these pests have continued to find their way inside, then it may be time to consider contacting an expert team of pest control professionals to protect your property. Critically, though, you must remember that spotting a single insect that can pose a threat to your home, such as an individual termite, or even just the evidence they leave behind, like mud tubes, then you need to organise a professional inspection of your home. Every pest needs to be considered a real and dangerous threat to your home, even if you only find one of them in your home.

Despite their reputation as an infinite void, termites are actually picky eaters. As with the rest of their kin, termites in Hamilton won't eat every type of wood, and we can help you determine which materials are safe here at Conquer Termites Northside. Contact our team on (07) 3356 8801 today to get started.
In addition to regular pest control measures, the type of wood that your home is constructed out of can have an impact on how safe your home is. The growth of fungi, rot, and decay can all be slowed down in any type of wood by pressure-treating it using preservatives, which will leave termites less likely to eat the material. It is also possible for the wood used in your home's construction to influence how interesting your property is to the local pest population. While the pests love regular timber, they are less likely to be interested in trees such as redwoods and yellow cedars, as well as the non-living central core of trees known as heartwood. Unfortunately, while timber makes for a sturdy, long-term building material, these woods are less durable, which may be a problem for your needs. A composite material, ideally made of plastics and wood fibres, would circumvent that limitation, while still ensuring it cannot be consumed by termites. Building a home is a complicated venture, but you should consider how termites will regard the materials used in the construction.
