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. To the joy of homeowners everywhere, however, just because you have suffered termite damage in the past, that doesn't mean your home can't sell for full value today. Should your home become victim to termites in Paddington, Conquer Termites Northside can help you understand exactly what you need to do to prevent any value depreciation. 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. 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. Long-term barriers and professional termite treatment are the easiest ways to ensure this, which is no more complicated than simply contacting a professional when you first encounter the infestation. 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. There's still a chance that your home may sell for its full value, even if it has suffered from termites in the past.

Professional pest control is best conducted in the right time and place. Not every situation demands for a professional treatment for pest control in Paddington, making it difficult to determine when you need to reach out to the right team. Working out when you need expert help for your home is a speciality of our team here at Conquer Termites Northside. Reach out to us on (07) 3356 8801 today.

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. 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. In the event that these insects do start appearing in significant numbers, however, especially if you have sealed your home appropriately, then you may wish to consider getting professional help. 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. Even individual pests can present a risk to your property, which means you always need to take any threat seriously.

Despite their reputation as an infinite void, termites are actually picky eaters. As with the rest of their kin, termites in Paddington won't eat every type of wood, and we can help you determine which materials are safe here at Conquer Termites Northside. Call us on (07) 3356 8801 to get in touch with our team.
There are certain types of wood that aren't as attractive to termites, which can help keep your home safe. 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. 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. However, sadly, timber is more durable than these types of wood, which may be a problem 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. Using the right materials during the construction of your home can help reduce the effect that termites will have on your property.
