Our 3-Step termite protection process: What to do if you find termites in your Brisbane home

Most pest control companies offer a “quick spray and walk away” service. At Conquer Termites, we know that protecting your biggest investment requires more than just chemicals – it requires a proven, pragmatic approach.

In Brisbane’s warm, humid climate, termites are active year-round and can cause serious structural damage if not managed correctly. At Conquer Termites, we recommend a proven 3-step termite protection process for Brisbane homes:

  • 1. A professional termite inspection

  • 2. Targeted treatment of active termites 

  • 3. Installation of a long-term termite management system

It’s your home, it’s your biggest asset – it needs the right kind of attention

Step 1: Professional Termite Inspection (Detection)

“You can’t treat what you haven’t found.”

A proper inspection is the foundation of your home’s safety. While competitors might spend 30 minutes doing a “visual check,” a Conquer Termites inspection is a deep-dive technical audit of your property.

What we inspect that others don’t:

  • Thermal Imaging Technology: We use high-resolution FLIR thermal cameras to detect heat signatures behind your walls—spots where termites are active but invisible to the naked eye.

  • Termatrac T3i motion detector: This is the world’s most advanced termite detection device. We use it to confirm movement through timber and brick without needing to pull your walls apart.

  • Moisture Mapping: Termites thrive in high-moisture areas (leaking showers, drainage issues). We map these “high-risk” zones to identify entry points.

  • Roof & Sub-floor Voids: We don’t just peek; we crawl. We check every accessible structural timber for evidence of “mudding” or structural compromise.

Step 2: Initial Colony Control (Stop them in your home!)

“Stopping the attack without scattering the nest.”

If live termites are found – like the recent Ferny Hills case study—the worst thing you can do is spray them with a generic repellent. This causes the colony to “stress,” scatter, and pop up in another part of your house.

  • Non-Repellent Foams & Dusts: We use advanced products like Termidor that termites cannot detect. They pass through it, carry it back to the nest, and eliminate the queen through the “Transfer Effect.”

  • Colony Elimination: We monitor the active site until we are 100% certain the “feeding” has stopped. Only once the immediate threat is neutralized do we move to long-term protection.

Step 3: Long-Term Termite Management (The barrier)

“No shortcuts. No compromises. Just permanent protection.”

Once your home is clear, we install a continuous management system to prevent future attacks. This is where most “cheap” quotes fall apart. At Conquer Termites, we do the hard work that others skip.

The Conquer Difference in Installation:

  • Full Chemical Barriers: We don’t just spray the surface. We trench down to the footings and, where necessary, lift pavers and drill slabs to ensure a 100% continuous treated zone around your home.

  • Precision Slab Drilling: When we drill through concrete, we don’t leave ugly holes. We use colour-matched plugs to ensure your driveway or patio looks exactly as it did before we arrived.

  • Baiting & Monitoring Systems: For homes on difficult terrain or reactive clay soils (common in Brisbane), we install world-class Trelona or Sentricon monitoring stations.
