Yes. Most of Australia is classified as a termite risk area, and Brisbane is no exception. Annual termite inspections cost $250–$450 and can identify activity before it causes structural damage. Termite damage is not covered by standard home insurance, making inspections one of the best-value property maintenance investments.

Modern pest treatments are designed to be safe once dry, which typically takes 1–2 hours for internal sprays. Your pest controller should advise on re-entry times. Gel baits and bait stations are placed in areas inaccessible to children and pets. If you have fish tanks, bird aviaries, or reptile enclosures, always mention these when booking — some products are toxic to aquatic and exotic animals even in small amounts.

Clear items away from skirting boards and walls so the technician can spray along edges. Remove pet food and water bowls. Cover fish tanks and turn off the air pump. Move outdoor furniture away from the house perimeter. After treatment, do not mop treated surfaces for at least two weeks — sweeping and vacuuming are fine.

A general pest treatment with a surface spray typically provides 6–12 months of protection depending on the product used and environmental conditions. Gel baits for cockroaches can last 3–6 months. Termite chemical barriers last 5–8 years depending on the product and soil type. Your pest controller should provide a specific warranty period with your treatment.
