Sunshine Coast Termite Treatment

Termites. Just the word makes homeowners sweat—and some pest companies cheer quietly at the thought of dollar signs. We get it: when you find them, it’s panic stations. But it doesn’t always have to be terrifying or expensive.


Let’s start with some do’s and don’ts if you think you’ve found termites:


  • Don’t panic. It might not be as bad (or costly) as you think.
  • Don’t spray them. No fly spray. No DIY brews from the shed.
  • Don’t rip open walls or go full “renovation reveal.”
  • Don’t ask your mate who once Googled termites.
  • Do call Shark Pest Control. We’ll come take a look—for free.
  • Do leave them alone. Seriously, don’t poke the nest.


There are a lot of termite species and even more termite treatment methods—but here on the Sunshine Coast, we mainly deal with about five types. We won’t bore you with Latin names, but we will say this: by the time we're finished with termite treatment, your home will be protected and your worries eased.

Your Pests. Our Problem.

How We Handle the Little Homewreckers

Not all termites are bad guys—most are just doing their job. Unfortunately, your house is exactly the kind of job site they’re into. That’s why we tailor every termite treatment to what’s actually going on, not what scares you most.


There are over 320 termite species in Australia, but here on the Sunshine Coast, we see about five. We won’t hit you with the Latin names (unless you're into that sort of thing). Instead, we’ll tell you what’s really important: what kind of termite it is, how far they've gotten, and what will actually stop them.


Some cases need nothing at all (yes, really). Others might require a treatment plan, a barrier system, or even some tough love for that garden bed made entirely of untreated timber. We’re not here to upsell you or dump jargon. We’re here to fix the problem—and we do it with safe, proven products, a bit of wit, and years of know-how.



ONE FINAL NOTE


It is very important no matter what that you have no less than an annual termite inspection or more frequently if you have been attacked before or you know you have a “high” risk home as this is the best way to deal with any issues that may help to prevent termite attack and reduce your risk. Putting your head in dark places and hoping it won’t happen to you is another “epic fail” move.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • How do I know if I have termites?

    Termite activity isn’t always obvious at first. Look for signs like soft or hollow-sounding timber, bubbling paint, mud tunnels on walls, or discarded wings near windowsills. If you're unsure, don’t disturb the area—contact a licensed professional to inspect it properly. Early intervention can prevent major structural damage.

  • Are termite treatments safe for my family and pets?

    Yes. The products used by licensed pest professionals in Australia must meet strict safety standards. At Shark Pest Control, treatments are chosen based on their effectiveness and their safety profile. We use targeted applications that avoid disruption to your home, and we’ll always provide safety advice if certain precautions are needed during or after treatment.

  • How often should I get termite protection or treatment?

    Most experts recommend checking for termites annually and maintaining your protection barrier every 3–5 years, depending on the system used and your property’s risk level. If you're in a high-risk area or have had termite issues before, you may need more frequent monitoring or updated treatment plans.
