White ants and termites are the same insect. White ants is simply the common Australian name for termites, derived from the pale cream colour of worker termites. They are not ants. Termites are more closely related to cockroaches. Treatment for white ants is identical to termite treatment: standard ant products do not work on them.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"How much damage do white ants cause?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Termites (white ants) cause an estimated $1.5 billion in damage to Australian homes annually. A single Coptotermes acinaciformis colony can damage an entire timber-framed home over 12-18 months of undetected activity. Structural repair after significant termite damage typically costs $20,000-$100,000+.

If you see any of these signs, do not disturb the area and call 0406 178 471 immediately.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"What treatment options are available for white ants in Brisbane?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Three main treatment options are used in Brisbane. Termidor SC chemical barrier ($1,800-$3,800): injected into the soil around the perimeter. Baiting systems ($2,800-$4,500 plus annual monitoring): in-ground stations with bait that workers carry back to the colony. Foam injection: for treating an active colony inside a wall or timber member, used as an immediate spot treatment before barrier installation. Annual inspection ($280-$420) confirms which treatment is needed.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"Is Brisbane a high risk area for white ants?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Yes. Brisbane is one of Australia's highest risk areas for termite (white ant) activity. All Brisbane metro suburbs are classified as moderate to high risk under the Australian Standard. An estimated 1 in 4 Brisbane homes will be attacked by termites if left without active protection. Brisbane's subtropical climate supports year-round colony activity with no winter dormancy period.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"How much does white ant inspection cost?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"AS 4349.3 compliant termite inspections cost $280-$420 for a standard Brisbane house. The inspection includes thermal imaging, Termatrac radar, moisture detection, and a full written report delivered within 24 hours.

White ant control in Brisbane uses the same treatment as termite control: inspections from $280, Termidor chemical barriers from $1,800, and baiting systems from $2,800. Brisbane is a high-risk area for white ant damage year-round. Do not disturb any suspected white ant activity before calling 0406 178 471.<\/span>\n\n<div style=\"background:var(--bg2);border-bottom:1px solid var(--border)\"><div class=\"wrap\"><nav class=\"bc\" aria-label=\"Breadcrumb\"><a href=\"https:\/\/responsepestcontrol.com.au\/\">Home<\/a><svg viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" stroke=\"currentColor\" stroke-width=\"2\"><path d=\"M9 18l6-6-6-6\"\/><\/svg><a href=\"https:\/\/responsepestcontrol.com.au\/pests\/\">Pests<\/a><svg viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" stroke=\"currentColor\" stroke-width=\"2\"><path d=\"M9 18l6-6-6-6\"\/><\/svg><a href=\"https:\/\/responsepestcontrol.com.au\/pests\/termites\/\">Termites<\/a><svg viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" stroke=\"currentColor\" stroke-width=\"2\"><path d=\"M9 18l6-6-6-6\"\/><\/svg><span style=\"color:var(--txt)\">White Ants<\/span><\/nav><\/div><\/div>\n\n<section class=\"hero\" aria-labelledby=\"wan-h1\">\n  <div class=\"wrap\"><div class=\"hero-in\">\n    <div>\n      <span class=\"badge rv\"><svg viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" stroke=\"currentColor\" stroke-width=\"1.75\"><path d=\"M22 11.08V12a10 10 0 1 1-5.93-9.14\"\/><polyline points=\"22 4 12 14.01 9 11.01\"\/><\/svg>White Ants = Termites &middot; Same Treatment &middot; Brisbane-Wide<\/span>\n      <h1 class=\"h1 rv d1\" id=\"wan-h1\">White Ant Control <span class=\"g\">Brisbane<\/span><\/h1>\n      <p class=\"sub rv d2\">White ants and termites are the same insect.

All Brisbane metro suburbs are classified as moderate to high termite risk under the Australian Standard. The subtropical climate supports year-round colony activity with no winter slowdown. An estimated 1 in 4 Brisbane homes without active protection will be attacked by termites (white ants). Annual inspection is the minimum recommended prevention for every Brisbane property. See our <a href=\"https:\/\/responsepestcontrol.com.au\/pests\/termites\/\">termite control page<\/a> for the full Brisbane risk overview.<\/div><\/div>\n      <div class=\"faq-item\"><div class=\"faq-q\"><span class=\"faq-qt\">How much does a white ant inspection cost?<\/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\">AS 4349.3 compliant termite inspections cost $280-$420 for a standard Brisbane house.
