Termite Protection Brisbane | 4 Actions to Help Prevent the Pests
Having termite protection measures in place for your Brisbane property could help to prevent an attack and save you plenty of stress and money in the future.
At All Corners Carpet Cleaning & Pest Control we are highly skilled at protecting residences and commercial premises from termite infestations. In fact, we’ve been ridding properties of the destructive pests for more than a decade.
We explain more about actions which may help to reduce the chance of the pests inhabiting your Brisbane block below.
How To Protect Your Brisbane Home From Termites
They say prevention is better than a cure and the same is true about termites. It is far easier – and much less costly – to protect your home from them than to deal with the consequences of an infestation.
So, how can you prevent your home from these harmful timber pests?
Here are four (4) courses of action which may assist with minimising the risks of an infestation:
- Have a Termite Reticulation System installed
A termite reticulation system consists of chemical pipe positioned along the home’s perimeter. Pesticide is expelled though perforated holes in the pipework. It’s best to install these systems before any concrete slabs are laid.
More information here.
2. Install baiting stations
Bait is positioned inside stations which can be placed above or below ground.
The intention is to attract termites and have them feed on the insecticide, before they transport it back to the nest to affect other termites.
3. Schedule more frequent termite inspections
While we recommend yearly assessments, you may opt to have a qualified inspector visit more regularly, for example half-yearly or even quarterly, if your Brisbane property is prone to termite attacks.
4. Be vigilant and checking for signs of activity
The sooner you spot a problem, the faster it can be dealt with by a professional.
One of the best ways to do this is to keep an eye out for evidence of termites, like timber damage or mud tubing.
It’s important to note that if a termite problem has been uncovered, a tailored treatment management plan will be developed by the professionals at All Corners Carpet Cleaning & Pest Control before any protective measures are put in place.

What Are The Main Reasons For Pest Control In Brisbane?
If you’re not a fan of unwanted houseguests, you might be wondering what are the main reasons for pest control in Brisbane?
We need to manage pests for many reasons but the main ones are to prevent the spread of disease, to help stop damage to our biggest asset – our home, and to stop food contamination from occurring.
Check out our blog below to find out more about why your home needs regular pest control.
3 Reasons You Need Pest Control
It can be unsettling when creepy, crawling critters start taking over your Brisbane home.
Getting and staying on top of your pest control isn’t just about feeling comfortable again – your unwanted house guests could be causing a range of issues for your home and your health.
Regular pest treatments can help to avoid:
Spread of diseases:
Pests carry different diseases which they can spread when they’re freely roaming around a home.
These diseases can cause illness, skin irritations, respiratory issues and other health problems.
Damage to your home and belongings:
Termites are the biggest problem when it comes to home damage, but wood borers also cause structural damage by destroying the timber in the home. This damage is not covered by insurance.
Rodents can nibble their way through water pipes or cabling. You may also experience air conditioning or power shortages if there are black ant nest build ups.
It’s also worth keeping an eye on your clothes because insects like silverfish can chew holes in them.
Food contamination:
Cockroaches, rodents and other stored food product pests can be found in the pantry. They typically gnaw their way through packaging and eat your non-perishables.
ANY item which might have been contaminated by a diseased pest needs to be thrown out.
How Often Do You Really Need Pest Control?
As the temperatures and humidity start to increase, insect life cycles will also start speeding up, and they’ll be out looking for food and shelter – so Spring is a really great time to book in your pest control treatment.
We highly recommend annual termite inspections and pest treatments to help keep the bugs at bay.
Properties which are more prone to pests may need more regular treatments every 3 to 6 months.

How to get rid of ants inside
If tiny ants have invaded your home and you want to know how to get rid of ants inside, All Corners Carpet Cleaning & Pest Control is here to help.
These nuisance pests like to make themselves comfortable near food and water – just like humans.
And while there is no sure-fire way to completely eliminate them, our expert team uses safe pesticides to reduce their numbers and keep the ant army at bay.
Keep reading our blog below to learn more.
Why do ants come inside?
Ants are commonly found nesting in electrical appliances, like air conditioners. They also get into food products and can even crawl into bed with you!
Why? Well they like to be inside to be close to a food and water source such as sinks, dishwashers and food cupboards.
How to get rid of ants permanently
Unfortunately, you can never get rid of all ants, and their nests, completely.
However, reducing numbers around the home helps to keep them away for a longer period of time.
When it comes to dealing with ants, it’s best to call in the experts.
At All Corners we:
- Locate the ants’ nests,
- Eliminate the nests, and
- Eliminate any trails to reduce ant activity on your property.
How to get rid of ants naturally
The team at All Corners Carpet Cleaning & Pest Control uses a range of safe pesticides to cull ant numbers.
While it’s recommended to call in the experts to deal with an ant problem, there are a few natural repellents you could try in the lead up to your appointment.
- Baking Soda – It is one of the most popular natural treatments for common insect pests. Just mix it with some powdered sugar and place it where you have seen ants.
- White vinegar – White vinegar helps to disrupt the pheromone trail. You can mix it with some water and spray the solution on and around the ants, and anywhere you want to stop them coming into your home.
- Cinnamon – Cinnamon essential oil has a strong smell that repels ants. Spray a solution of this oil and water around your home.

“Thank you Ashley from All Corners, not only were you on time and professional but I found you to be so thorough. From the cleaning of our couch that was covered in food from the kids; to removing tan in a can and foundation from the carpet; to having cockroaches keeling over before you left the house and to spraying the ants in my lawn. You did a perfect job and I highly recommend you to anyone for pest control and carpet clean services.”

Pests that we treat
Ants – The most common found in the home include the Coastal Brown Ant, The Garden Ant and the Black House Ant. They will nest in your yard, around garden beds and under pavers. It’s usually the worker ants you’ll find looking for food and moisture in your kitchen and bathroom.
We treat more than just ants, here are some of the common pests we treat:
Cockroaches – The most common species that invade our homes are the Australian and American Cockroach, the Brown Banded and Oriental Cockroach and the German Cockroach. Most species have a life cycle of 6-12 months except the German Cockroach which grows much faster over 6 weeks and can take over your home super quick!
Spiders – Most common you’ll come across in your home include Daddy Long Legs, Huntsman, Golden Orbs, Red Backs, White Tails and the Black and Red House Spiders. They like to inhabit garden beds, plants, under furniture, in weepholes and on cornicing.
Silverfish – Grey to brown in colour, these guys are sensitive to light and can usually be found in dark, damp places throughout the home. But they do like to feed on clothes and paperwork which isn’t nice to find!
Rats and Mice – When there’s potential food around, you’ll find these guys and they are more active at night time. Different species may include the Common Roof Rat, the Norwegian Roof Rat, Mice and the smaller Field Mice.
Fleas – Fleas are a wingless insect that feed off the blood of their host. They are excellent jumpers which makes it easy for them to spread from host to host. Their population only consists of about 5% adults and the rest are eggs, larvae and pupae.
Termites – Subterranean Termites, also known as ‘White Ants’ are a very destructive timber pest that can cause major structural damage to homes and buildings. We highly recommend regular inspections to ensure there are no termites invading your property.
