Overview
This is the service for a home that already has termites. If you have found mud tubes, hollow-sounding timber, bubbling paint, or live termites, the priority is stopping the colony before it does more damage, and doing it without scattering the nest.
The most important thing you can do right now is leave the activity alone. Do not break open the mud tubes, do not spray, and do not disturb the timber. Termites react to disturbance by moving, which spreads the problem to new parts of the home and makes the colony harder to eliminate.
When we arrive, a licensed technician confirms the species and the extent, then recommends a treatment matched to your home, whether that is a baiting system that eliminates the colony, a Termidor treated zone, or a combination. You get a clear plan and a written quote before any work begins.
At a glance
01
Baiting systems like Trelona ATBS work with termite behaviour rather than against it. The colony feeds on the bait and carries the active ingredient back to the nest, which eliminates the colony at the source instead of just the workers on site.
Baiting suits many Brisbane homes because it targets the nest you cannot see and then transitions into ongoing monitoring.
02
Where a chemical barrier suits the home, a Termidor treated zone is applied to the soil and structure so termites cannot cross it undetected. Termites passing through carry the product back through the colony, which adds to the knockdown.
The construction of the home and where the termites are active decide whether a treated zone, baiting, or both is the right call.
03
Once the immediate infestation is dealt with, the home still sits in termite country. Management systems, in-ground stations or a treated zone, keep the property protected and give new activity nowhere to hide.
Trelona ATBS and Termidor systems may be eligible for manufacturer-backed warranty programs when they are installed and maintained to the manufacturer's requirements, so we schedule the inspections and maintenance that keep the cover valid.
04
If you have not actually seen termites and want to check the home, an inspection is the better place to start. It confirms whether there is activity and tells us exactly what any treatment needs to deal with.
Either way, book it in rather than waiting. Termite damage does not pause while you decide.
Safety and property care
Active termite treatment means putting product into the colony, so how and where it is applied matters as much as the treatment itself.
Licensed, accredited, trusted
Every treatment is carried out by a QBCC-licensed, accredited technician. We list our licence and accreditation details so homeowners, landlords, and property managers can verify them directly.
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!

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
Do not disturb them. Leave the mud tubes, damaged timber, and any activity exactly as you found them, and do not spray supermarket products at the entry point. Disturbing an active nest makes termites move and spreads the problem to new areas of the home. Call us or book a treatment visit, and let a licensed technician assess the activity before anything is touched.
Because the termites you see are a fraction of the colony, and the nest causing the damage is usually somewhere you cannot reach. A surface spray kills a few workers and warns the rest, which scatters the colony and makes it harder to eliminate. Professional treatment targets the whole colony through baiting or a treated zone, so the source is dealt with, not just the symptom.
After confirming the species and the extent, we match the method to your home. Baiting systems like Trelona ATBS let the colony carry the active ingredient back to the nest, eliminating it over time. A Termidor treated zone creates a chemical barrier termites cannot cross undetected. Many homes use a combination. The inspection findings decide the plan, and we explain it before we start.
It is quoted after an inspection, because the price depends on the construction of the home, how established the termites are, and the system the property needs. We would rather see the property and give you an honest figure than quote a number that changes on the day. You get a clear written quote before any work begins, with the options laid out.
A treated colony is eliminated, but a home in Brisbane stays at risk of new termites arriving, which is why ongoing monitoring matters. We set up the checks that keep an accredited system valid and catch any new activity early. Treating once and walking away leaves the door open, so we build the follow-up into the plan rather than leaving it to chance.
Yes. Modern termite systems are applied by licensed technicians and placed where they work rather than sprayed through living areas. Baiting stations sit around the perimeter and in the ground, and treated zones are applied to the soil and structure, not your living space. We explain what is being used, where, and any short precautions before we begin.
