Termites are the most damaging pests to wooden structures, and it is recommended that all homes in Brisbane get a termite inspection at least once every 12 months. This will protect your home from termite damage and save you money in the long run.
A professional termite inspector will visually examine your home, looking for signs of termite activity such as mud tubes and damaged wood. They will also tap on wooden surfaces and listen for hollow sounds. They will look at any wooden furniture and fixtures in the house, as well as in sheds and fences.
South-East Queensland, including the Brisbane area, is a hotspot for termites. The rainforest environment, especially in the suburbs of Mt Gravatt, Carindale, Kenmore and Brookfield, is ideal for these pests to thrive. It is essential to organise regular termite inspections, as they can spot termites in their early stages before they cause extensive damage to your property. Early detection of these pests allows you to take immediate action, saving you money on costly repairs and preserving the structural integrity of your property.
Termites munch through wood and timber like there’s no tomorrow causing costly structural damage to homes. Preventing them is an absolute must and there are professional termite treatments available to help protect your property. These include physical barriers and chemical treatments.
A comprehensive onsite termite inspection is crucial to determine which treatment option will work best for your home. It’s also essential that you have a treatment prior to constructing any shed or deck. This is stipulated in Australian Standards and a requirement for insurance purposes.
Using a physical barrier is the most cost effective and long lasting approach to termite protection. There are a number of different options including slab layers that have been termiticide injected, plastic sheeting laid into the ground or into concrete areas and termite baiting systems.
A termite barrier is an important way to protect your property from the damaging effects of termites. They can eat away at the structural timbers in your home, costing you thousands of dollars in repairs and ruining your property’s value. With a Brisbane termite barrier, you can safeguard your property against this wood eating pest.
There are many different types of termite barriers, either physical or chemical. The most common is a chemical barrier, which involves spraying a liquid termicide into the soil around your home. These barriers work 24hrs day and night, preventing termites from accessing your property and prevents them from making their way into your house.
When obtaining a quote for a chemical termite barrier, ensure you ask the termite treatment company what product they are planning to use. The most commonly used chemicals are (Biforce) the active being bifenthrin and (Termidor) the active being fipronil. Neither of these products are harmful to children or pets when applied correctly by a licenced pest control professional.
Bait stations are a more environmentally friendly method of termite treatment compared to soil treatments. They are also less likely to contaminate your drinking water supply unlike liquid barrier systems. Termite baits are placed underground and are protected by a rugged station locking mechanism that keeps children and pets out. The product utilised in the Green Termite Bait System, Novaluron, is an insect development inhibitor that prevents the production of chitin (the protective outer layer of termites’ exoskeleton) during moulting. It does this by stopping the termite’s ability to convert cellulose into its own exoskeleton, which results in the termite not being able to replace its outer skin.

Termite baits are installed below ground level in strategic locations around your home. Termites discover these stations during their persistent foraging activities and consume the bait, which is passed back to the colony. The station’s slow-acting active ingredient eventually disrupts the metabolic processes of the termite and it starves to death.
