If you try selling your home with an active colony of termites, then the final sale will not be as lucrative as your home deserves. Any prospective buyer will need to spend money dealing with the infestation, resulting in a lower purchase price. Fortunately, you might still be able to sell your home at its maximum price, even after its suffered termite damage. Protecting your home from losing value due to termites in Morayfield is simple with help from the leading team of local professionals, Conquer Termites Northside. You can reach us on (07) 3356 8801 for all of your termite concerns.

Even if you're not looking to sell your property, preventing any devaluation depends on a few simple measures that you should be undertaking anyway. Keeping your property termite-free until after the sale is closed should be your first priority, as it is hard to retain value with an active infestation. Professional termite treatments, as well as the appropriate long-term barriers, is all that's needed to keep your home free of the pests. 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. You don't have to sell your home for a lower price just because it has suffered from termites in the past.

Circumstances need to be correct to ensure professional pest control is warranted. Inversely, it's not always an appropriate time or place to reach out to a professional team to perform pest control in Morayfield for your home, making it difficult to judge when you should do so. Luckily, it's not difficult to determine if your home needs professional pest control thanks to help from our leading team here at Conquer Termites Northside. Contact us today on (07) 3356 8801.

You don't need to contact an expert team of pest control professionals whenever you spot an unwelcome guest, but that doesn't mean you should disregard any insect you do find in your house. Despite how irritating ants can be, finding one in your home all on its own doesn't necessitate an immediate pest treatment performed by professionals. Instead of necessarily indicating that a hive of pests have infested your home, single ants or flies may have simply entered your property by any open doors or windows. 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. 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. Though not all pests will require professional action, you should never take the risk of pests lightly.

There is high level of finesse in the diet of any termite, regardless of their reputation for voracious appetites. Thankfully, Conquer Termites Northside and our experts on termites in Morayfield are more than capable of helping you understand which types of wood aren't suitable for the pest to eat. Get started by calling our team on (07) 3356 8801 to learn more.
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. Pressure-treated wood is less appealing to termites, as decay, rot, and the growth of fungi are all suppressed by the treatment. Dependant on the materials used in your home, termites will vary their interest in your home. Heartwood provides a poor snack to the pests, as it is made up of the hardened, dense wood found at the core of any tree; similarly, termites are also not overly interested in trees like redwoods and yellow cedars. Depending on your needs, however, the compromise these woods present in terms of durability may be untenable. A composite material, ideally made of plastics and wood fibres, would circumvent that limitation, while still ensuring it cannot be consumed by termites. Local termites may struggle to eat your home depending on the materials used in its construction.
