Know the enemy

In the subtropics, a colony never clocks off

When termites are active in a Northern Rivers home, the clock runs faster than it does down south — warmth and humidity keep the colony feeding around the calendar, through frames, floors and everything structural. The soft floorboard or bubbling paint you've spotted is the visible corner of the operation.

The instinct to grab a spray can is the expensive mistake: disturbed colonies abandon their workings and resurface somewhere harder to find. The right move is a professional treatment matched to your home's construction and the colony's behaviour — and up here, choosing that treatment well is a local skill.

Did you know?

A disturbed termite colony doesn't die — it relocates. Spraying the termites you found often just moves the problem deeper into the house, which is why the golden rule is: don't touch them, call a professional.

How we stop an active colony

Method matched to the home — pole homes, slab homes and old timber Queenslanders each get treated differently.

1

Find the colony's reach

Before treating anything we map the activity — where they're feeding, where they're travelling, and where the nest likely sits. Treatment without this map is guesswork.

2

Baiting that destroys the nest

Bait the workers feed on and carry home, collapsing the colony at its source — the method of choice where the nest can't be reached directly.

3

Chemical barriers for lasting protection

Trench-and-treat around the perimeter and drill-and-inject through paths and slab edges — a continuous treated zone that stops the next colony at the boundary.

4

Protection that suits the region

Once the colony's gone, we'll recommend the right ongoing protection for your property and its risk — backed by our 10-year termite guarantee.

Frequently asked questions

I've just found termites — what do I do right now?

Step away and leave everything exactly as it is — no spraying, no pulling timber apart, no poking the mud tubes. Take a photo from a distance if you can, then call us. An undisturbed colony is a treatable colony.

How fast do you need to treat once termites are found?

Promptly — subtropical colonies feed year-round, so there's no safe season to wait for. That said, days matter more than hours: don't panic, don't disturb them, and get the treatment planned properly rather than rushed badly.

My home is a pole home / Queenslander — does that change things?

It changes everything, in a good way: different construction opens different treatment options, and we treat a lot of the region's timber homes. The inspection determines whether baiting, barriers or a combination fits your home best.

Is the treatment safe for my family and pets?

Yes — eco-friendly, registered products applied to label requirements and placed where termites travel, not where families live. Your technician explains any precautions before starting.
