Why Termite Control Matters
Termites are one of the most destructive pests in Australia, causing millions of dollars in structural damage every year. If you suspect termite activity in your Gold Coast home, it’s critical not to disturb them. Many homeowners ask about the termite treatment cost or whether DIY sprays will work — but using aerosol or household chemicals often drives termites deeper into your property, making professional treatment the only reliable solution.
At LessPest More Control, our mission is simple: to protect your home and investment with effective, safe, and long-lasting termite treatments backed by proven pest control methods.
Types of Professional Termite Treatments
We tailor each treatment to your property, level of infestation, and budget. Options include:
Dusting Treatments
Fine insecticidal dust is applied directly to termite activity. The dust sticks to the termites and is carried back to the nest, helping eliminate the colony from within.
Foaming Treatments
Foam formulations expand deep into timber and hidden galleries where termites live. This approach is highly effective for subterranean termite control in hard-to-reach areas.
Baiting Systems
Bait stations are installed around your property to attract termites. Once consumed, the bait is carried back to the nest, gradually wiping out the colony. Regular monitoring ensures long-term protection.
Chemical Barriers
One of the most popular and effective options, chemical termite barriers form a treated zone around your property. This not only kills termites on contact but also prevents future infestations, safeguarding your home for years.
Physical Barriers (Pre-Construction)
For new builds, we install physical barriers such as metal shields and treated fabrics. These act as long-term defences, preventing subterranean termites from entering the structure.
Comprehensive Termite Management Plan
A treatment alone is not enough. Effective termite control requires ongoing management, which includes:
- Mandatory Termite Inspection before treatment to assess the extent of infestation
- Annual inspections to ensure continued protection
- Replacement of damaged timbers to meet Australian Standard AS3660.2-2000
- Ongoing monitoring with bait stations and moisture detection tools
Our Gold Coast termite management systems combine treatments, inspections, and monitoring to provide complete, year-round protection.
Termite Treatment Cost – What to Expect
The cost of termite treatment depends on factors such as:
- The size of your property
- The level of infestation
- The type of barrier or treatment required
While many homeowners worry about cost, professional termite treatment is far cheaper than repairing structural damage caused by untreated infestations. We provide transparent pricing and explain the best option for your situation.
