Low-frequency microwaves detect termite movement through solid materials without damage
A full check of the interior, exterior, subfloor, roof void and surrounding grounds, backed up by the radar and moisture readings.
Measures elevated moisture levels around termite-infested zones for confirmation

Process
Advanced radar technology scans through walls and foundations to detect existing termite activity and identify optimal barrier placement locations.
Professional drilling equipment creates precise injection points around your home's perimeter based on Termatrac findings.
Premium non-repellent chemical creates an invisible protection zone that eliminates entire colonies through transfer effect.
Annual Termatrac monitoring ensures continued protection and warranty compliance with detailed reporting.
Local expertise
10+ years protecting Sunshine Coast homes from Bli Bli to Nambour.
Owner-operated means you deal directly with the expert, not a sales team.
Local proof
A Buderim family's annual inspection revealed early-stage Coptotermes activity in their subfloor, invisible to the naked eye but picked up by our Termatrac T3i radar. We installed a Termidor barrier within the week. Without the inspection, the colony could have caused $40,000+ in structural damage to their split-level home.
After discovering active termites in their Nambour weatherboard during a routine check, we treated the infestation and installed a full chemical barrier. The 8-year warranty gave them peace of mind, and annual inspections have confirmed the property has remained termite-free since installation.

Investment range: $3,000 - $4,500 average for most Sunshine Coast homes. Cost depends on property size, soil conditions, and access requirements. We provide detailed written quotes with no hidden fees.
Think of it as insurance: protect your $500k+ investment for less than 1% of its value.
Our manufacturer-backed 8-year warranty covers complete re-treatment of the termite active site location if active termites are found in the previously treated building. Renewable each year with an annual termite inspection. Conditions apply. This is one of the longest warranties available in the pest control industry.
The T3i system uses radar and moisture detection: Radar waves detect termite movement through walls without damage; Moisture detection confirms activity in suspected areas. This means precise barrier placement with minimal environmental impact.
Owner-operated advantage: Deal directly with Mick (10+ years local experience), advanced Termatrac T3i technology (not just visual inspections), Sunshine Coast soil and termite species expertise, competitive pricing without franchise overhead, and personal accountability and ongoing relationship.
Installation typically takes 1-2 days depending on your property size. Chemical barriers involve trenching around foundations and drilling through concrete areas. We minimise disruption and clean up thoroughly after installation.
Chemical termite barriers typically need replenishment every 5-8 years depending on the product used and soil conditions. We provide ongoing monitoring and maintenance services for all barrier installations.
Chemical barriers create a treated zone in the soil around your home using termiticides that either repel or kill termites on contact. This is the barrier we install for established homes under AS 3660.2. Physical barriers, such as stainless steel mesh, are usually installed by the builder in new homes under AS 3660.1. We don't install them, but we check them as part of a termite inspection.
Absolutely. Termite damage repairs in Australia average $10,000-$15,000, with some Sunshine Coast homes requiring $50,000+ in structural repairs. A termite barrier system averaging $3,000-$4,500 is a fraction of potential repair costs. Insurance typically doesn't cover termite damage, making prevention your best financial protection. Start with a professional termite inspection ($280) to assess your property's risk level.
On the Sunshine Coast, termite barriers can be installed year-round. However, autumn and winter (March-August) are often ideal: drier soil conditions improve chemical absorption, garden disruption is minimal, and you'll be fully protected before the spring swarming season when termites are most active. Don't wait until you see swarmers: by then, colonies are already well established.
Our $3,000-$4,500 average range is competitive with (and often lower than) franchise operations because we don't carry their overhead costs. As an owner-operated business, Mick provides the same quality Termidor product and AS3660-compliant installation, but you're dealing directly with the expert. No sales commissions, no middlemen, no upselling. Every dollar goes into protecting your property.
