Our Termite Treatment Process

We follow a structured termite management process designed for long-term protection. Our approach provides thorough coverage at every stage.


Termite Inspection

We begin with a detailed inspection using thermal imaging, moisture meters, and other detection tools to locate termite activity and assess potential risks. This helps us identify nests, entry points, and vulnerable areas.


Treatment Plan Development

Based on the findings, we create a tailored treatment plan. Depending on the severity of the infestation and your property’s layout, we may recommend chemical barriers, baiting systems, or a combination of both.


Termite Elimination

We implement the plan using targeted treatments such as termiticide applications or bait station placement. The goal is to eliminate the colony and break the breeding cycle at the source.


Ongoing Monitoring

After treatment, we provide monitoring and maintenance to prevent re-infestation. This includes routine inspections, bait station checks, and advice on reducing risks like leaks or nearby timber.

Types of Termite Treatments We Offer

At Arafura Pest Control, we offer a range of termite treatments in Darwin to suit different infestation levels and property types:



  • Chemical Barriers – These treatments create an invisible shield in the soil around your home to deter and eliminate termites.
  • Baiting Systems – In-ground or above-ground baits lure termites and expose the colony to slow-acting termiticide.
  • Pre-Construction Treatments – Applied during the building process to protect new homes from the start.
  • Reticulation Systems – Installed around the foundation to allow for reapplication of liquid treatments without soil disruption.


Our team will explain the best option based on your property and termite risk level, ensuring effective long-term protection.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What attracts termites to a property in the first place?

    To deter termites, maintain proper drainage to prevent water accumulation, fix leaks promptly, keep woodpiles away from the house, use termite-resistant materials for construction and ensure adequate ventilation in crawl spaces. Regular inspections and addressing moisture issues contribute to a termite-resistant environment, minimising the risk of infestation.

  • How can I tell the difference between termite damage and water damage?

    Though both may cause warped walls or timber, termite and water damage show different signs. Termite damage often makes wood sound hollow; you might find mud tunnels or ‘frass’ nearby. Affected timber may look brittle or layered. Water damage typically causes stains, damp patches, mould, or a musty smell and affects larger areas. The wood is often soft and spongy but lacks tunnelling. If unsure, a professional inspection is the best way to identify the cause.

  • Are DIY termite treatments effective in controlling infestations?

    DIY termite treatments may seem helpful, but they are rarely effective in eliminating established infestations. Termites often nest deep within walls, foundations, or underground, making them difficult to reach without the right tools and expertise. Professional termite control offers a far more reliable solution. It uses specialised equipment, licensed products, and expert knowledge to target the entire colony, not just the visible symptoms. Professional treatment is the safest and most effective approach for thorough, long-term protection.

  • How often should a property be inspected for termites?

    In termite-prone areas, professional inspections should be carried out at least once a year. Regular checks help catch activity early and prevent serious damage. Homes with timber structures, gardens, or a history of termite issues may need more frequent inspections. Routine inspections are essential for effective termite prevention and long-term property protection.
