Does Termite Damage Need To Lower The Value Of Your Home?
Active termite infections will always have an adverse effect on the price of your home when it comes time to sell it. Any prospective buyer will need to spend money dealing with the infestation, resulting in a lower purchase price. Thankfully, however, that doesn't mean that any termite damage done in the past necessarily needs to damage your bottom line. Conquer Termites Northside can help you understand exactly what you need to do to ensure your home retains as much of its value as possible when you suffer from termites in Toowong.

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. Just because your home has been attacked by termites, you won't have to suffer from significantly decreased property value when it comes time to sell it.
When Is It Necessary To Perform Pest Control?
Professional pest control is best conducted in the right time and place. Inversely, it's not always an appropriate time or place to reach out to a professional team to perform pest control in Toowong for your home, making it difficult to judge when you should do so. Fortunately, Conquer Termites Northside are professionals in our field, and we're more than happy to help you judge when your home needs an expert's touch.

Not every pest warrants an immediate professional response, but that doesn't mean you should take infestations lightly. 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. Pests aren't to be taken lightly, even though not every pest necessitates an immediate professional response.
Do Termites Hate Certain Types Of Wood?
Despite their reputation as an infinite void, termites are actually picky eaters. Thankfully, Conquer Termites Northside and our experts on termites in Toowong are more than capable of helping you understand which types of wood aren't suitable for the pest to eat.

Not every type of wood presents the same allure to termites, making it possible to keep the pests away from your home. Any wood that has been embedded with preservatives as part of a pressure treatment will become more resistant to rot, decay, and the growth of fungi, making it a less viable food-source for any local termites. 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. With the right materials, your home may be a less viable food source for the local termites.
