SE QLD is one of the highest-termite-pressure regions in the country. Pre-purchase termite inspections are mandatory due-diligence on any house purchase, and annual inspections are the standard for ongoing protection. The operators on HelpSorted handle pre-purchase inspections, annual checks, baiting systems (Sentricon, Exterra), and chemical barrier treatments.
A pre-purchase termite inspection runs $300-$500 and produces a written report that satisfies most conveyancers and lenders. Annual termite inspections cost $200-$350 and should include a thorough check of all timber elements, subfloor (if accessible), roof void, and outbuildings.
If live activity is found, treatment options are baiting (slow but effective, $2,500-$5,000) or chemical barrier (faster, $2,500-$6,000 depending on house size). For new builds in SE QLD, a Part F termite barrier is built into the slab as part of code - but it ages, and a 5-10 year follow-up inspection is wise.
Frequently asked questions
How often should I get a termite inspection?
Annually for SE QLD properties - termite pressure is high enough that gaps of more than 12 months let active infestations spread before they're caught.
Is a termite inspection the same as a pest inspection?
No - termite-specific inspections are more thorough on timber, subfloor, and roof void. General pest control inspections may flag termite signs but don't go to the same depth.
Are termite barriers worth the money?
If you've had active termites or your house is at high risk (timber-framed, near trees, wet substrate), yes - a $3,000-$6,000 barrier is cheap insurance against $30,000+ of structural damage.
What's the difference between baiting and chemical barriers?
Chemical barriers create a treated zone around the house; termites die when they cross it. Baiting attracts foragers to a colony-killing bait - slower but kills the queen and the whole nest. Some operators do both in combination.
