Termite Treatment, Inspection and Protection
Comprehensive termite control for the Gold Coast and surrounding regions.
Termite Baiting
Termite baiting is the first step in managing termite activity. Monitoring stations are placed around your property and activated once termites are detected. Results occur over a 3- to 6-month period.
Termite Protection Barriers
Stop termites before they become a problem. Our termite barrier systems create a protective zone around your property, preventing entry and enabling early detection. Designed for long-term peace of mind.
Termite Reticulation Systems
A termite reticulation system protects your home by creating a treated underground zone around the foundations. The system allows for easy re-treatment, providing long-term and cost-effective protection.
What to do if you find Termites
Did you know that each year in Australia, termites cause more damage to homes than fires, floods and storms combined? One in five homes is affected by termite damage, often resulting in extensive damage and then expensive repairs. Often, insurance does not cover termite damage.
In South East Queensland and Northern New South Wales, our climate drives more termite activity than many other Australian locations. Ideally, inspections should be scheduled for spring and autumn, but at the very least, annually, to ensure you remain vigilant.
Never:
- Disturb any termite workings, leads, galleries before commencement of a treatment program.
- Spray termite infested area with insecticides.
- Cover weep holes in brickwork
- Build soil or gardens up over slab edges or close to your home
- Disturb a chemical barrier
