What is the price of a Termite Barrier in Brisbane 2024?

Have you recently discovered termites in or around your Brisbane home and are now seeking the best treatment to safeguard your property?

The cost of termite treatments can vary considerably, contingent upon several factors:

• The size of your home.
• The type of treatment chosen.
• The extent of the termite infestation.

Termite treatments represent a vital expenditure for Brisbane homeowners, akin to house and property insurance, aiming to shield their homes from the detrimental impact of voracious termites.

Before the Termite Treatment

1. Termite Inspection: Prior to any treatment, a termite inspection is essential, both as per Australian Standards and for insurance compliance. If this step is not suggested, it should raise concerns.

   A typical termite inspection costs approximately $300 to $600, encompassing a comprehensive property examination to ascertain the extent of the infestation and the type of termites present.

2. Treatment Proposal: Ensure you receive a treatment proposal that explicitly delineates the cost, the chosen approach, and any associated limitations.

Types of Termite Management Systems

1. Chemical Treatments (Barriers): Chemical treatments are the most prevalent termite treatment in Brisbane. The average cost for a chemical termite treatment ranges from $3000 to $4000. The price may fluctuate based on the length of the external perimeter requiring treatment and the type of chemical used. Refer to our Recommended Chemicals page for further insights.

2. Baiting Systems: Baiting systems offer an alternative method for protecting Brisbane homes. Costs can range between $1500 and $3000, contingent on property size and the number of bait stations needed. An ongoing monitoring fee is typically applicable for annual station checks.

3. Physical Barriers: Physical barriers, like infused plastic sheeting and metal defenses, prevent termites from infiltrating a property and are typically installed during construction. The cost of physical barriers may span from $1000 to $3000.

4. Combined Treatments: Some homeowners opt for a combination of chemical treatments and baiting programs to achieve enhanced protection against termites.

How to Select a Termite Treatment Company

Homeowners must meticulously evaluate their options to choose the most suitable treatment for their property, guarding against termite-induced damage.

However, it is imperative to exercise prudence and compare potential termite treatment companies meticulously. Regrettably, significant disparities persist within our industry in terms of quality, knowledge, approach, and integrity.

Consumer Alert

• Beware of Unlicensed Entities - Lack of QBCC License: Numerous pest control companies craft deceptive websites to appear local, despite operating their call centers in distant cities and lacking the requisite Queensland licenses.

  

  Every entity operating in Queensland must hold a QBCC license for termite treatments. Absence of this license implies engagement with a subcontractor. Entities lacking a QBCC license cannot secure insurance and should refrain from advertising termite treatment services.

• Free Inspection Offers - Unlicensed Companies: Some companies extend offers for a free “termite check” and swiftly recommend questionable, exorbitantly priced wooden box baiting systems as treatments. These firms often lack proper licenses or qualifications. Clients may be asked to sign waivers acknowledging receipt of a ‘check’ rather than an inspection adhering to Australian Standards.
