Tips before you book

  • Ask whether a general treatment includes the roof void and sub-floor, and how long the warranty lasts.
  • Bundle a general pest treatment with your termite inspection to save on a second visit.
  • If you're buying a home, book a pre-purchase pest inspection before the cooling-off period ends.

How to choose a pest controller on the Gold Coast

Termites are particularly active in coastal Queensland, and anyone applying pesticides for a fee here must hold a Queensland Health pest management licence, so check credentials first.

  1. Check their pest management licence.

    Ask for the technician's Queensland Health pest management licence number. For termite work, confirm it includes the timber pest endorsement. You can verify it with Queensland Health's Public Health Regulation and Licensing unit on 07 3328 9310.

  2. For termite barriers and treatments, check their QBCC licence too.

    The QBCC recommends termite work is done by a QBCC-licensed contractor with a termite management licence. Search the business on the QBCC licensee register (https://my.qbcc.qld.gov.au/myQBCC/s/qbcc-licensee-register).

  3. Book a termite inspection at least every 12 months.

    The QBCC recommends at least yearly inspections, and more often in high-risk areas, such as homes near trees or bushland.

  4. Get a written report and quote.

    A termite inspection should come with a written report. Treatment quotes should name the product or system, its expected life and the warranty.

  5. Check your termite control notice.

    Homes built with termite protection should have a notice in the meter box showing the system, install date and recommended inspection frequency. Show it to your pest controller.

  6. Ask about safety for children and pets.

    Ask which products they'll use, how long to stay out of treated areas, and what to do with food, fish tanks and pets.

  7. Check reviews for your type of job.

    A business with many reviews for termite work is a safer bet for a termite job than a perfect score from a handful of reviews.

If termite work is defective, you can lodge a complaint with the QBCC on 139 333.
