Termite Treatment & Inspection in Brisbane
Australians report termite activity in or near their homes 130’000 times per year. With such high activity levels, there’s a high chance that you’ll experience these destructive pests at some point in your life. Thankfully, there are treatment options available. Whether you prefer the idea of using a chemical blitz or a natural approach, termite treatment in Brisbane can be long-lasting and effective if done properly.
How To Tell You Have A Termite Infestation?
Some common signs to look for include:
- Mud Tubes: These might be found near your home’s foundation as they assist termites in moving safely between their shelter and their food source.
- Droppings: With the appearance of wood dust, you might easily overlook this sign. If there’s no obvious reason for wood dust to suddenly appear around your home, it might be due to termite activity.
- Wood Damage: Termites love to gnaw on wood which could lead to reduced stability if they get into the load-bearing beams in the foundations, walls, or attic.
- Aesthetic Damage: Termite activity can cause drywall damage, peeling paint, small holes, loose floorboards, and warped laminate.
If you spot any of these signs, it’s necessary to investigate the cause as soon as possible to prevent any further damage.

FAQs
The cost of treatment depends on:
- Type of termites found
- Moisture levels
- Where the termites are – topography and they may be in different locations
- Baits and chemicals used
- Type of treatments use
Termites are sensitive to smell and therefore if you spray only the surface, they may retract and move to another area in your house. The average house can cost $3500 for a full treatment.
It’s critical that your chosen pest technician eliminates the colony rather than a surface treatment. The queen will lay more than a thousand eggs a day in a normal environment. If not treated carefully, termites will eat non-stop and their estimated economic damage in Australia alone is more than 100 million dollars.

A termite barrier is a chemically treated zone that surrounds the perimeter of a building or structure. This treated zone is positioned strategically to disrupt the termite’s pathway beneath the ground.
A termite treatment barrier will vary between $1,500 to $3,500 for a small to large home. Most pest control companies will have a payment plan available for you.
