Who to call for Termite Control in Brisbane?
Homeowners should carefully consider their options and choose the best termite control option to protect their property from foraging termites.
But you really need to compare apples with apples when selecting a company for your termite control. Sadly, our industry greatly differs in quality, knowledge, approach, and honesty.
Can I spray my own house for termites?
‘Yeah, Nah’ - Don’t disturb them!
Don’t be tempted to reach for a can of bug spray and become the exterminator. If you alarm them, by instinct, they’ll flee back to their nest until they feel it’s safe to come back.
This means when you call a professional Termite Technician, (and you should) they won’t have the opportunity to identify the type of termite and might not be able to detect them in other areas in your home.
Can I treat my house for termites?
In Australia, the homeowner can buy and apply termiticide to their home. It’s your castle and it should have a moat to stop termites.
But there are so many issues when you do it yourself.
Cost for termite control in Brisbane?
The cost of termite treatments varies depending on the size of the home, the type of treatment and the extent of the infestation.
Important - Need an inspection before treating your home
You need a Termite Inspection done prior to the treatment, as stipulated in the Australian Standards, and to comply with insurance requirements. If someone is not suggesting this, then you should worry.
A termite inspection typically costs between $300 to $600. This includes thoroughly examining the property to determine the extent of the infestation and the type of termites present.
You should receive a Treatment Proposal that clearly outlines the cost, type of approach, plus limitations.
Types of Termite Management Systems
- Chemical treatments (barriers) are Brisbane’s most common type of termite treatment.
The average cost for a chemical termite treatment: $3000 to $4000.

- Baiting systems: Baiting systems are another option for protecting homes in Brisbane. The cost of baiting systems can range from $1500 to $3000, depending on the size of the property and the number of bait stations required. There is an additional ongoing cost to monitor the stations annually.
- Physical barriers: Physical barriers, such as infused plastic sheeting and metal barriers, can also prevent termites from entering a property. This kind of termite management system is usually installed at the time of construction. The cost of physical barriers can range from $1000 to $3000,
- Combined treatments: Some homeowners choose to use a combination of chemical treatments and baiting programmes for the best protection against termites.
