Frequently Asked Questions
QHow much does termite treatment cost in Melbourne?
We don't quote a fixed price online — every job gets a free onsite quote, with no call-out fee to get one. Final cost depends on the property, pest activity, access and treatment scope, confirmed before you book.
QWhat is a chemical termite barrier?
A chemical termite barrier is a continuous zone of termiticide applied in the soil around and under your home foundation. When termites attempt to cross this treated zone, they are either killed on contact or carry the chemical back to the colony. Modern termiticides are non-repellent, meaning termites cannot detect and avoid them.
QHow long does termite treatment last?
Chemical termite barriers typically last 5-10 years depending on the product used, soil conditions, and environmental factors. We provide documentation and certification specifying the product, warranty period, and recommended re-treatment schedule. Annual inspections are recommended even with a barrier in place.
QDo termite baiting systems work?
Yes. Termite baiting systems use monitoring stations installed around the perimeter of your property. When termites are detected, bait is introduced that the termites carry back to the colony, gradually eliminating the entire colony including the queen. Baiting systems are ideal for properties where chemical barriers are difficult to install.
Professional Termite Treatment in Melbourne
When a termite inspection reveals active termites or previous damage, immediate treatment is essential. Every day of delay allows the colony to consume more of your home's structural timber. Pest Eraze provides professional termite treatment services across Melbourne using industry-leading chemical barriers and baiting systems that eliminate entire termite colonies - not just the workers you can see.
Chemical Termite Barriers: How They Work
A chemical termite barrier is a continuous treated zone installed in the soil around and under your home's foundation. We use non-repellent termiticides (such as Termidor and Altriset) that termites cannot detect. When foraging termites pass through the treated zone, they pick up the chemical on their bodies and carry it back to the colony. Through normal grooming and feeding behaviour, the chemical is transferred throughout the colony, eventually reaching and killing the queen. This "transfer effect" is what makes modern termite barriers so effective - the entire colony is destroyed, not just individual workers.
Chemical Barrier Installation Process
- Trench and treat: A shallow trench is dug around the external perimeter of your home and flooded with termiticide
- Drill and inject: For concrete paths, driveways, and patios that abut the building, we drill small holes and inject termiticide under the slab
- Internal treatment: Where required, we treat the soil beneath the internal slab via drilled injection points
- Certification: You receive a termite management certificate documenting the product used, application rates, treated areas, and warranty period
Termite Baiting Systems
Baiting systems are an alternative to chemical barriers, particularly suited to properties where excavation or drilling is impractical. In-ground monitoring stations are installed at regular intervals around your property's perimeter. These stations are inspected regularly, and when termite activity is detected, bait is introduced. The colony feeds on the bait, which contains a slow-acting insect growth regulator that prevents termites from moulting, gradually eliminating the entire colony including the queen.
Choosing Between Barriers and Baits
- Chemical barriers provide immediate protection and last 5-10 years. Best for homes requiring comprehensive perimeter protection
- Baiting systems target the colony directly and provide ongoing monitoring. Best for properties where soil treatment is difficult, or where an active colony needs to be eliminated before barrier installation
- Combination approach: Many Melbourne homes benefit from both - chemical barrier for protection plus baiting for colony elimination
Cost of Termite Treatment in Melbourne
Termite treatment is a significant investment, but it is far less expensive than repairing termite damage. The average cost of termite damage repair in Melbourne is $10,000 to $50,000+. A professional chemical barrier installation is priced after a free onsite quote - no call-out fee - and protects your home for 5-10 years. Pest Eraze provides detailed treatment proposals for all Melbourne properties.
