Queensland's Building Code of Australia Handbook recommends annual inspections for all properties in high-risk zones. Properties in timber or near bushland, those with previous termite history, or those without an active chemical barrier should consider 6-monthly inspections.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"What is the difference between a chemical barrier and a baiting system?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"A chemical barrier (Termidor SC) creates a treated soil zone around the building's perimeter and sub-structure. Termites contacting the treated zone pick up and transfer the active ingredient (fipronil) to nestmates via trophallaxis, eliminating the colony. A baiting system installs in-ground stations around the perimeter. Stations contain monitoring material which is replaced with bait (Recruit HD or Requiem) when termite activity is detected. Both are effective; the choice depends on construction type, site conditions, and budget.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"How much does termite treatment cost in Brisbane?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Termite inspections cost $280-$420 depending on property size. Chemical barrier treatment (Termidor) costs $1,800-$3,800 for a standard house. Baiting systems (Sentricon, Exterra, Trelona) cost $2,800-$5,500 for installation plus annual monitoring fees of $550-$1,100 per year. Pre-construction soil treatment costs $1,200-$2,800 depending on slab size.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"Does home insurance cover termite damage?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Standard home insurance policies in Australia do not cover termite damage. This is a consistent exclusion across all major Australian insurers. Some specialist insurers offer limited termite damage cover as an add-on, but coverage is generally partial and may require evidence of a current prevention program. The absence of insurance coverage is why annual inspections and proactive prevention are the standard recommendation.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"Are white ants the same as termites?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Yes. White ants is the common Australian name for termites. They are the same insect. The name comes from the pale, cream-coloured worker termites that resemble ants. Termites are not actually ants and are more closely related to cockroaches. The pest control industry uses both terms interchangeably.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"Which is better: Termidor or Sentricon?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Both are registered and effective termite management products used by licensed pest controllers across Australia. Termidor chemical barriers provide immediate protection and a single upfront cost but require drilling around established concrete paths and pavers. Sentricon and other baiting systems have lower upfront cost but require annual monitoring fees and take weeks to months to eliminate an active colony via the bait transfer process. The right choice depends on the construction type, property layout, and whether active termites are present at the time of installation.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"How long does termite treatment take?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"A Termidor chemical barrier application takes 1-3 days depending on the property size and the extent of trenching and drilling required. Baiting system installation takes 2-4 hours and produces no immediate kill; bait elimination of an active colony takes 3-12 weeks depending on colony size and feeding rate. Foam injection treatment for an active colony in walls takes 1-3 hours.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"What should I do if I find termites?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Do not disturb the area. Do not spray them, break open the mud tubes, or fill cracks near the activity. Call 0406 178 471 for same-day attendance. Disturbance causes termites to seal off the entry point and relocate, making treatment harder. Leave everything as found and await the pest controller.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"Are all Brisbane suburbs at risk from termites?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Yes. Brisbane's subtropical climate and the presence of Coptotermes acinaciformis and Nasutitermes species throughout the region means all Brisbane suburbs carry at least moderate termite risk. Highest-risk areas include suburbs adjacent to creek lines, bushland reserves, and older timber construction areas. Even new construction with chemical pre-treatment barriers should be inspected annually as barriers degrade over time.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"What is the warranty on termite treatment?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Warranty varies by treatment system. Termidor barriers carry a manufacturer warranty of 8 years when applied by a licensed contractor. Physical termite barriers (Kordon) carry a 50-year warranty. Baiting systems (Sentricon, Exterra) carry operational warranties tied to the annual monitoring program. Our own workmanship warranty is provided alongside the product warranty.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"How long before I see results after baiting treatment?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Monitoring bait stations typically show termite activity detection within 2-8 weeks of installation if an active colony is present. Once active bait is inserted, colony elimination typically takes 3-12 weeks depending on colony size and the bait consumption rate. Termidor barriers produce faster results as termites contacting the treated zone transfer the active ingredient directly to nestmates.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"Can termites come back after treatment?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Yes. A Termidor barrier eliminates the colony that breached the treated zone but does not prevent new colonies from attempting to enter in the future. The barrier degrades over 8-10 years. Baiting systems provide ongoing monitoring and protection as long as annual service is maintained. Annual inspection is the standard protocol regardless of treatment type to detect new activity before significant damage occurs.\"}}]}]}<\/script>\n\n<div class=\"rpc-trm\">\n<span class=\"da\" id=\"speakable-answer\" aria-hidden=\"true\">Termite control in Brisbane requires annual AS 4349.3 inspections ($280-$420), and when active termites are found, either Termidor chemical barrier treatment ($1,800-$3,800) or baiting systems ($2,800-$5,500).

Termites contacting the treated zone transfer fipronil to nestmates, eliminating the colony. A baiting system installs monitoring stations which are replaced with active bait when termite activity is detected. Both are effective. Termidor provides faster results when active termites are present. Baiting systems avoid drilling to existing concrete and suit lower-disturbance sites.

White ants is the common Australian name for termites. They are the same insect. Despite the name, termites are not ants. They have straight antennae, a broad body connection with no pinched waist, and are more closely related to cockroaches. Standard ant treatment products do not work on termites. If you think you have white ants, it is a termite issue and requires a termite specialist.<\/div><\/div>\n      <div class=\"faq-item\"><div class=\"faq-q\"><span class=\"faq-qt\">Which is better: Termidor or Sentricon?<\/span><div class=\"faq-tog\"><svg viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" stroke=\"currentColor\" stroke-width=\"2\"><line x1=\"12\" y1=\"5\" x2=\"12\" y2=\"19\"\/><line x1=\"5\" y1=\"12\" x2=\"19\" y2=\"12\"\/><\/svg><\/div><\/div><div class=\"faq-ans\">Both are registered, effective products used by licensed pest controllers across Australia. Termidor is preferred when active termites are present as it provides immediate soil protection and colony elimination via the transfer effect. Sentricon and other baiting systems suit properties where drilling to established concrete paths and paving is undesirable, and provide ongoing monitoring. The right choice depends on construction type, site conditions, and whether active termites are present at the time of installation.<\/div><\/div>\n      <div class=\"faq-item\"><div class=\"faq-q\"><span class=\"faq-qt\">What should I do if I find termites?<\/span><div class=\"faq-tog\"><svg viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" stroke=\"currentColor\" stroke-width=\"2\"><line x1=\"12\" y1=\"5\" x2=\"12\" y2=\"19\"\/><line x1=\"5\" y1=\"12\" x2=\"19\" y2=\"12\"\/><\/svg><\/div><\/div><div class=\"faq-ans\">Do not disturb the area. Do not spray them, break open the mud tubes, or apply filler or paint near the activity. Call 0406 178 471 immediately. Disturbance causes termites to seal off the entry point and relocate, making treatment harder and less effective. Leave everything exactly as found and await the pest controller.
