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. This decrease in price is due to the necessary costs of treating the infestation that the new owner will need to pay, which means they won't be willing to purchase the home for as high a price. 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 Murrumba Downs is simple with help from the leading team of local professionals, Conquer Termites Northside. For help with any termite problem, call our stellar team 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. To begin with, make sure that your home remains termite free, especially through to the moment that the home sale is closed. To achieve this, you'll want to make sure a professional treated your termite problem as soon as was possible, and that the appropriate long-term barriers were installed. Finally, repair any damage that may have been inflicted by the termites, and your home will have retained as much of its value 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. Conversely, performing pest control in Murrumba Downs with a professional team should not be rushed, as it is not always appropriate and necessary. 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.

Finding an insect inside you home may not always be pleasant and should always be seriously considered as a threat to the safety of your property, but that doesn't mean you always need to reach out to the experts. 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. You may have just left a door or window open, allowing lonely ants or flies to wander into your home, which means their presence doesn't necessarily mean a colony of pests have come to call your house home. However, should they start appearing in numbers, regardless of what preventative actions you take, then you should heavily consider reaching out to a professional team of pest control experts. It's also important to remember that as soon as you find a threat to your home, whether it's a single termite or just the mud tubes they leave behind, only a professional can help ensure your property remains safe. 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. Fortunately, when you need to work out which types of wood that termites in Murrumba Downs won't eat, you can depend on Conquer Termites Northside for help. 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. Treating your wood with preservatives can curb the growth of decay, fungi, and rot, ensuring termites will be less interested in consuming your home. 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. Trees such as yellow cedars and redwoods yield far less appetizing wood than regular timber, while heartwood, the hardened, central core of trees, is less attractive still. Sadly, however, these woods are less durable than lumber, which may be an unsuitable compromise for your needs. By using composite lumber, such as a combination of plastics and wood fibres, you'll be left with a durable material that termites can't eat, which might be a better choice. Local termites may struggle to eat your home depending on the materials used in its construction.
