How to choose the right provider

Always confirm the company holds a valid QBCC licence, carries insurance, and is accredited for the products it uses. Be cautious of "free termite check" offers that are really just a sales tactic. A trustworthy provider gives you a clear, itemised quote and stands behind their workmanship.

How much is a termite barrier?

A full chemical termite barrier in South East Queensland typically costs $1,500 to $4,000 depending on the perimeter of your home and the product used. Quality products like Termidor can protect for up to eight years under typical local conditions.

Is a termite inspection worth the cost?

Yes. Termites can cause more than $3,500 in damage from a small infestation, and standard home insurance does not cover it. At $220 to $350, a regular inspection is the cheapest protection available for your home.

The main factors are the size and perimeter of your property, the treatment method (barrier, baiting or combined), the severity of the infestation, and the type of construction. A licensed technician confirms the price after inspecting the accessible areas.
