The true cost of termite damage
WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS?
Termites may be small, but they can cause significant damage to properties in Brisbane and across Australia, with the cost of damage estimated at around $1.3 billion. Approximately 30% of homes in Queensland are at risk of termite damage, making it essential to prepare for a potential infestation.
The problem with termites is that the longer they remain undetected, the worse the damage becomes. Spotting them early gives you a better chance of minimizing harm to your home. While the cost of treating termites may be a concern, it is far less than the cost of repairing serious property damage.
It's important to note that termite damage is not covered by insurance policies in Australia, so addressing the issue promptly is crucial to avoid being left out-of-pocket.

Termite treated zone
Termite treated zones are a popular choice of treatment, providing protection for up to 8 years. They work by installing a trench system around your property’s perimeter, using tiny holes drilled into surfaces. Termite treated zone uses chemicals which termites carry back to their nests, helping to destroy the colony.

Termite baiting
Termite baiting can provide excellent protection against termites, using a slow-release insecticide to tackle the problem and keep termites away. The treatment needs to be administered frequently to be effective, and can be more suitable for some properties over others. Using a termite baiting service comes with monitoring and inspections, helping to ensure your property has high standards of protection.
