Localised Termite Treatment
Suits properties where termite activity has been identified in a defined, accessible area and access allows the activity to be treated directly.
Fixed quote after inspection findings are reviewed
- Treatment of the identified activity in the defined accessible area.
- Treatment of affected timber or concealed areas where appropriate.
- Recommendations to address moisture, access or conducive conditions.
- Follow-up inspection recommendation.
Localised treatment addresses identified activity in a defined accessible area. It does not necessarily provide whole-property termite management.
Treatment documentation recording the work carried out and treated areas. Final price depends on the extent of activity, construction, access, paving or drilling required, perimeter length and property size.
Active Termite Management Program
Suits properties where live termite activity is present in the structure and the approach needs to address the active colony.
Fixed quote after inspection findings are reviewed
- Treatment of the active termite activity identified.
- Treatment of affected timber or concealed areas where appropriate.
- Further treatment or protection measures where the findings support them.
- Scheduled follow-up inspection to review the outcome.
The method, treated areas and follow-up schedule depend on the inspection findings, construction and access. Some areas may be inaccessible and are noted in the scope.
Treatment documentation recording the work carried out and treated areas. Final price depends on the extent of activity, construction, access, paving or drilling required, perimeter length and property size.
Termite Protection — Chemical Soil Management Zone
Suits properties where a treated soil management zone can be achieved to the perimeter and/or subfloor, either after treatment or as a protective measure.
Fixed quote after inspection findings are reviewed
- Perimeter and/or subfloor soil treatment to establish a management zone.
- Trenching, and drilling of paved or concreted areas where required for continuity.
- Treatment of accessible service penetrations and entry points where appropriate.
- Recommendations to address moisture, access or conducive conditions.
Whether a continuous treated zone can be achieved depends on the construction, soil, paving and access. Any areas that cannot be treated are recorded in the treatment scope.

Termite Baiting / Monitoring System
In-ground and/or above-ground baiting and monitoring with scheduled service visits. Suitable where a continuous chemical management zone is not achievable, where baiting is preferred, or where ongoing monitoring is appropriate.
Fixed quote after inspection findings are reviewed
- Installation of in-ground and/or above-ground baiting or monitoring stations.
- Scheduled service visits to check and maintain the system.
- Recorded observations at each service visit.
- Recommendations to address moisture, access or conducive conditions.
Baiting and monitoring works over time and relies on scheduled service visits. Station positions can be adjusted where garden or building works require it.

What Fabien assesses before treatment begins.
Activity and affected areas
- Where termite activity or damage was identified.
- Accessible extent of the affected area.
- Structural elements involved.
- Evidence documented in the inspection report.
- Areas requiring further access or investigation.
Property and treatment conditions
- Construction type and foundation.
- Soil, slab, subfloor or perimeter access.
- Previous treatment systems.
- Plumbing, drainage and moisture conditions.
- Safety, occupant and pet considerations.
- Areas where treatment cannot be applied or confirmed.
The final scope covers the areas that can be assessed and treated safely, with any limitations identified before work starts.
Localised treatment and broader termite management serve different purposes.
Localised treatment
May be considered when:
- Activity is identified in a defined accessible area.
- The treatment target can be clearly established.
- The recommendation is supported by the inspection findings.
Localised treatment addresses identified activity but may not provide whole-property termite management.
Broader management approach
May involve:
- A soil treatment or management zone.
- Baiting or monitoring systems.
- Treatment around relevant building areas.
- Ongoing inspection and maintenance requirements.
The most appropriate approach depends on the construction, access, termite risk and inspection findings.
Termite treatment reduces risk — it does not remove the need for future inspection.
- Concealed or inaccessible activity may not be fully visible.
- Treatment applies to the agreed and accessible scope.
- New termite activity may occur in the future.
- Follow-up inspections or monitoring may be recommended.
- Property changes, moisture, landscaping or building works can affect risk.
- Customers must follow preparation, maintenance and access guidance.
- Treatment does not guarantee that all existing damage has been found.
Preparing for termite treatment.
- Provide access to the agreed treatment areas.
- Move stored items where requested.
- Confirm pets, children and occupant arrangements.
- Advise FAB of plumbing, electrical or building changes.
- Provide previous termite reports or treatment records where available.
Preparation requirements vary with the treatment method. FAB will confirm the exact steps before work begins.
What happens after treatment.
- Fabien explains the completed work.
- Relevant documentation is provided.
- Re-entry or safety directions are confirmed.
- Monitoring or follow-up requirements are explained.
- Conducive-condition recommendations are recorded.
Common questions.
Is the termite inspection fee credited toward treatment?
Proceeding with treatment? FAB credits $125 of your paid Comprehensive Termite Inspection fee toward an approved termite treatment of $600 inc GST or more, approved and booked within 60 days of your inspection. Paid FAB Comprehensive Termite Inspection only (the free risk assessment earns no credit) · treatment must be $600 inc GST or more · approved and booked within 60 days of the inspection · one credit per property per inspection · applies to all four treatment pathways · not combined with other treatment promotions · applied to the treatment invoice, not paid as cash.
Do I need a termite inspection before treatment?
In most cases yes. Appropriate treatment depends on where activity has been identified, the construction of the property, accessible areas and any conducive conditions. FAB reviews the inspection findings before recommending a scope.
What termite-treatment options are available, and how is the right one selected?
Depending on the property and the findings, options can include localised treatment of identified activity, soil treatment or a chemical management zone, baiting or monitoring systems, and treatment of affected timber or concealed areas. Not every option is appropriate for every property. The method is selected by reviewing the inspection evidence, affected areas, construction, access, previous treatment history and conducive conditions. Fabien explains the recommended method and any limitations before the work begins.
How long does termite treatment take, and do I need to leave the property?
Duration varies with the method, property size and access. Whether you need to leave depends on the products used and the areas treated. Fabien confirms the expected duration, any preparation requirements and any re-entry or safety directions before work starts.
Is termite treatment safe around children and pets?
FAB uses APVMA-registered products applied strictly to label, and confirms occupant, pet and re-entry requirements before treatment. Follow the specific instructions provided for your job.
Will treatment damage floors, walls or landscaping?
Treatment is planned around the identified areas and access. Any drilling, trenching or disturbance is discussed and agreed before work begins.
What documentation and warranty apply after termite treatment?
Where applicable, FAB provides treatment documentation recording the work carried out, treated areas and relevant product or installation details. The documents provided depend on the treatment completed. Any warranty terms depend on the treatment method, products used and the specific job, and applicable terms are confirmed in writing at the time of quotation — no universal guarantee applies.
Can termites return after treatment, and how often should the property be inspected?
Yes, new termite activity can occur in the future, and property changes, moisture, landscaping or building works can affect risk. Annual inspections are the baseline recommendation, and higher-risk properties may benefit from more frequent checks or a monitoring system.
Does termite treatment repair existing damage?
No. Treatment addresses termite activity — not the repair of any existing timber damage. Repair work is a separate scope, usually handled by a licensed builder.
