North Brisbane pest control
Two different problems, two different services. Book an inspection if you want to check and protect the home, or a treatment if termites are already active. Licensed technicians, reports to AS 3660, and accredited systems.

Overview
Termites reach roughly one in five Australian homes, and Brisbane's warm, humid climate suits them all year. The damage is structural and it usually starts out of sight, inside wall frames, subfloors, and door jambs, which is why so many homeowners only find out once the repair bill is large.
There are two jobs a termite specialist does, and they answer two different questions. An inspection answers "do I have termites, and is my home at risk", for owners who want peace of mind or who are buying. A treatment answers "how do I stop the termites I already have", for homes with active infestation. Sending the wrong one wastes time, so we help you start in the right place.
Every termite job is carried out by a licensed technician, inspected to AS 3660, and written up in a report you keep. We recommend an accredited system based on what we actually find, not a fixed package sold before we have seen the property.
At a glance
01
An inspection is the right start when you have not seen termites. A technician checks the interior, subfloor, and the perimeter, using moisture and movement readings where timber is at risk, then gives you a written report to AS 3660 with clear options.
Book an inspection for an annual check on your own home, before you buy a property, or when a neighbour has had termites. It is the cheapest way to catch activity while it is still small.
02
Treatment is the right service when termites are already in the home. We identify the species and the extent, then treat the colony rather than just the termites you can see, using accredited baiting or a Termidor treated zone.
If you have found mud tubes, hollow timber, or bubbling paint, do not disturb it. Book a treatment and leave the activity as it is so the technician can assess and treat it properly.
03
The most effective long-term protection for many homes is a professionally installed chemical termite barrier. Applied around the building in accordance with Australian Standards, it creates a treated zone designed to help protect your home from concealed termite entry.
Where appropriate, termite baiting systems may also be recommended for ongoing monitoring or where a chemical barrier is not practical. Every property is different, so we assess the construction and surrounding environment before recommending the most suitable solution.
Regular termite inspections remain essential, as no termite management system can guarantee that termites will never attack a property.
04
Every inspection and treatment comes with a written report in plain language: what we found, where, the conducive conditions that raise your risk, and the recommended next step. Buyers, owners, and property managers all get the same clear record.
We would rather show you the evidence and let you decide than hand over a scare and a hard sell.

What locals say
Cody was very efficient, professional and transparent. Very grateful to have him come out and help us out! Best of luck with your ventures
Cody was great at communicating let know when he going to arrive and was on time. He and Tom did a very through job and went above and beyond. They both explained what they were doing every time I asked. Cody fixed a minor drainage issue while on site. I will have no hesitation recommending Bruin to anyone. I look forward to see them in a years time.
A fantastic service completed by Cody and Tom from Bruin Pest Management. Very friendly staff who were punctual, professional and went above what was expected to get the job done. Many thanks
Great service from start to finish! They were able to squeeze me in quickly instead of making me wait for an appointment, which I really appreciated. The technician was friendly, professional and explained everything clearly. Highly recommend!
Can highly recommend Cody and the team. Great communication, speedy service, and minimal disruption. They were also very flexible when we had to reschedule our initial appointment.

Top service from these guys, reliable, fast and do the perfect job. Onya boys.
Thanks to Tom, great job, highly recommend.
Andy completed a pest inspection at our property in Brisbane and his knowledge is second to none. He is very friendly and genuine and provided a great service. At the end of the pest inspection, he showed us through his findings and talked through different pest control methods and some things we could do to help lessen the chance of any termites finding the property attractive.
Myself and my husband highly recommend Andy and Sarah, this is our 2nd time using their pest control services and we have had no problems with pests returning until we were due our next yearly service. They take extreme pride in their work and are very informative on the types of pests and what to use and not use.
Excellent service for a pre purchase pest inspection in Brisbane. Communication was fast and professional. The report was comprehensive, received the day of the inspection, and Andy was available to explain plainly any questions I had. I would definitely use Bruin again in future.
Engaged Bruin to do a pest inspection and they were fantastic. They were available very quickly (next day) and were so easy to deal with. The inspector was professional and very polite. The report was available that day and was easy to understand. Their advice was so helpful, not just for our house purchase, but for dealing with the property into the future.
My husband and I engaged Bruin to complete our pre-purchase pest inspection. We were extremely happy with the service offered by both the office staff and Andy. All were friendly, professional and thorough. Andy met my husband Wayne onsite and explained things clearly. We had our report later the same day. We highly recommend the Bruin team.
Common questions
If you have not seen signs of termites and simply want peace of mind, a routine termite inspection is the best place to start. Inspections are also strongly recommended before purchasing a property and should form part of every home's ongoing maintenance. If you have noticed signs of termite activity, such as mud tubes, hollow-sounding timber, damaged wood, or bubbling paint, a termite inspection should be carried out as soon as possible. The inspection identifies the extent of the activity and allows us to recommend the most appropriate treatment for your property. Did you know? Most professionally installed termite management systems, including chemical barriers and baiting systems, require a termite inspection at least every 12 months to help maintain the manufacturer's warranty. Missing these scheduled inspections may affect your warranty cover and allow termite activity to go undetected. If you are unsure whether you need an inspection or treatment, book the inspection first. It allows us to accurately assess your property and recommend the most effective solution based on the findings.
At least once a year for most Brisbane homes, and more often for homes near bushland, on acreage, or with a history of activity. Brisbane's warm, humid climate suits subterranean termites, and damage usually starts out of sight. An annual inspection to AS 3660 is the cheapest way to catch a problem while it is still small.
We can inspect, service, and maintain virtually all major termite management systems, regardless of who originally installed them. Whether your property has a baiting system or a chemical barrier, our licensed technicians can provide the ongoing inspections and maintenance required to keep it performing as intended. For new installations, our preferred termite management solutions are Trelona ATBS Advance Termite Baiting Systems and Termidor chemical barriers. These industry-leading products have a proven track record and allow us to tailor the most effective long-term protection for your property. Every recommendation is based on your home's construction, the inspection findings, and your property's individual termite risk. We will explain the available options in plain English so you can make an informed decision before any work begins.
Yes. Our termite management systems are backed by product and workmanship warranties where applicable, with the specific warranty depending on the system installed and the manufacturer's terms and conditions. Trelona ATBS Advance Termite Baiting Systems and Termidor chemical barriers may be eligible for manufacturer-backed warranty programs when installed and maintained in accordance with the manufacturer's requirements. Ongoing termite inspections and scheduled maintenance are essential to help keep these warranties valid. Before any work begins, we will explain the warranty that applies to your chosen system, including any inspection or maintenance requirements, so you know exactly what is covered.
No. Disturbing an active nest makes termites move, which spreads the problem and makes it harder to treat. Leave the mud tubes, timber, and any activity exactly as you found them, and avoid spraying supermarket products at the entry point. Book an inspection or treatment and let a licensed technician assess it first.
