Termites

According to the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO), approximately 32% of Australian homes currently show signs of termite activity, equating to around 130,000 affected properties each year. In other words, one in three homes is at risk—making early termite detection and treatment an essential priority for homeowners.

Termites can establish nests up to 100 metres away and often infiltrate homes through tiny ground-level entry points, such as cracks in mortar joints. More commonly, they enter from beneath the structure, remaining hidden until significant damage has occurred.

This is why annual inspections by Brisbane Pest Management are so critical. Our expertly trained technicians use the latest in termite detection technology and draw on years of hands-on experience to identify issues early—helping you avoid expensive structural repairs.

Effective termite management typically involves either applying a chemical barrier around the building or eliminating the colony through baiting systems.

Choosing the right method depends on the property. For homes with complex construction—like split-level floors or multiple expansion joints—baiting systems are often the most practical solution. For simpler structures, chemical treatments are generally more cost-effective and efficient. However, baiting may offer longer-term protection.

Our team will carefully assess your property’s unique construction features—such as joints, levels, and material transitions—to recommend the most suitable and effective termite control strategy for your situation.
