Protect Your Home From Costly Termite Damage

What Makes Queensland Homes High Risk For Termites

Queensland’s climate and building conditions create an ideal environment for termite activity.

• Warm, humid conditions
  Termites can remain active throughout the year.
• Slab-on-ground construction
  Slab edges and service penetrations can provide concealed entry points into homes.
• Gardens and landscaping
  Mulch, soil and gardens against external walls can compromise termite protection.
• Rainfall and soil conditions
  Moisture and local soil conditions can influence termite activity and termite management systems.
• Destructive local termite species
  Several termite species found throughout South East Queensland are capable of causing significant structural damage.

That’s why the right termite protection needs to be designed around your individual property, rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach.

Long-Term Termite Protection For Your Home

For existing homes, our primary recommendation is a professionally installed Chemical Soil Termite Management System.

It creates a continuous treated zone around your home’s perimeter to help prevent termites from reaching the structure.

Where a complete chemical soil system isn’t practical, termite monitoring or baiting may be recommended as an alternative or complementary solution.

We’ll assess your property first and recommend the most appropriate option for your home.

1. Free On-Site Consultation

One of our experienced technicians will assess your home’s perimeter, construction, access, landscaping and existing termite protection.

We’ll identify potential risk areas and determine the most suitable Termite Management System for your property.

2. Your Tailored Proposal

Following your consultation, we’ll send you a detailed Termite Management System proposal outlining the recommended solution, scope of work and cost. Our team will be available to answer any questions before you decide to proceed.

If you choose to proceed, we will send a document to be signed electronically (very easy, we promise!) to confirm a start date.

*Please note, we take a 20% deposit and book a time to conduct the installation.

3. Preparing Your Home

Before installation, we’ll carefully prepare the areas around your home’s perimeter that need to be treated.

This may include accessing soil areas, garden beds, paving and other areas required to create continuous protection.

4. Professional Drilling Where Required

Where soil can’t be accessed directly, small holes may need to be professionally drilled through concrete or paved areas to allow treatment beneath the surface.

These areas are carefully treated and reinstated once installation is complete.

In areas where soil cannot be accessed directly, we drill small, professional holes along the slab edge or perimeter.

• Holes are drilled 10–12mm in diameter at consistent intervals (usually 200–300mm apart).
• We drill against the footing line or slab edge, depending on construction.
• Brick paving or removable stones are carefully lifted and replaced afterwards.
• Holes are flushed clean to allow for proper chemical dispersion.

Trafficked areas (driveways, patios) are drilled and sealed neatly.

5. Applying the Treatment

Our technicians professionally apply the treatment around the required areas of your home’s perimeter, following product requirements and industry standards.

The aim is to establish a continuous treated zone that helps prevent concealed termite entry.

6. Reinstating & Cleaning

Once treatment is complete, we’ll reinstate treated areas, seal drilled holes and clean the areas we’ve worked in.

We take care to leave your property as neat and tidy as possible.

7. Final Checks & Handover

We’ll complete final checks of the treated areas and explain anything you need to know about maintaining your Termite Management System.

You’ll also receive recommendations for ongoing termite inspections and maintenance.

8. Your Installation Certificate

Following installation, we’ll provide a Termite Management System certificate documenting the treatment completed at your property.

Keep this for your records as an important reference for future inspections, maintenance and property ownership.

Already Have A Termite Management System?

Termite Management System Refills

If your home already has a Chemical Soil Termite Management System, it may require periodic replenishment to maintain effective protection.

Over time, environmental conditions, soil movement, landscaping, irrigation and natural chemical breakdown can affect the treated zone.

A refill allows us to re-treat the required areas and maintain your home’s ongoing termite protection.

Standard Refill Guideline

As a general guideline, we recommend:

✓ A refill or top-up approximately every five years, depending on the system and property conditions
✓ Annual termite inspections
✓ Assessment following significant landscaping, moisture or changes around the home’s perimeter

Your technician can advise on the appropriate maintenance schedule for your individual property.

Signs You May Need a Refill Sooner

Think you might be due for a refill sooner? Here are a few reasons that might happen:

• Significant landscaping work
• New soil or mulch against the building
• Changes to drainage or irrigation
• Excess moisture around the perimeter
• Changes to garden beds or ground levels
• Concerns about possible termite activity

How Much Does A Termite Management System Cost?

Every property is different, but most full Chemical Soil Termite Management Systems for a standard four-bedroom home typically cost between:

$1,200 – $4,000

Your exact price will depend on the size, construction and accessibility of your property. That’s why we offer a free on-site consultation before providing your tailored proposal.

What’s Included?

✓ Professional installation
✓ Required materials and treatment
✓ Drilling and reinstatement where required
✓ Termite Management System installation certificate
✓ Applicable warranty
✓ Aftercare and maintenance recommendations

What Affects the Cost Of My Termite Management System?

• Property size and perimeter
  Larger or more complex homes generally require more labour and treatment.
• Construction type
  Slabs, extensions, split levels and other construction features can affect installation.
• Access
  Concrete, retaining walls, garden beds, sheds and other obstacles may increase installation requirements.
• Soil and landscaping
  Different soil conditions, roots and landscaping can affect how the system is installed.
• Treatment required
  The product and amount required will depend on your individual property.

What About Termite Baiting Systems?

Chemical soil systems aren’t suitable for every property.

Where a complete Chemical Soil Termite Management System isn’t practical, our technicians may recommend termite monitoring or baiting as an alternative or complementary solution.

We’ll assess this during your consultation and recommend the most appropriate approach for your property.
