WHAT TO DO RIGHT NOW
Four Steps After Finding Active Termites
What you do next can make the inspection and treatment process easier.
01
Leave the activity undisturbed
Avoid breaking open large sections of mudding, pulling out infested timber or disturbing the area more than necessary.
02
Do not spray household insecticide
DIY spraying can kill visible termites but may disrupt the activity before the infestation has been properly assessed.
03
Take clear photos
If you can do so without disturbing the termites, photograph the activity, damaged timber and surrounding area.
04
Arrange professional assessment
The treatment plan should be based on the location of the activity, property construction, access and longer-term termite risk.
WHAT ACTIVE TERMITES CAN LOOK LIKE
Signs Can Range From Obvious Damage to Concealed Activity
Homeowners may first notice mud leads, hollow or damaged timber, soft wall or skirting areas, bubbling finishes, or live termites exposed during renovations or maintenance.
Visible damage does not necessarily show the full extent of the infestation. Termites can travel through concealed areas, which is why professional inspection is important before treatment or repair decisions are made.
If you are unsure whether what you have found is termite activity, start with a professional termite inspection.
ACTIVE TERMITE COLONY TREATMENT
Treatment Should Target the Current Activity Before Long-Term Protection Is Finalised
Where active termites are present, the immediate treatment may involve targeted application to the active areas or termite workings. The exact method depends on where the activity is located and how much access is available.
The goal is to manage the current infestation without unnecessarily scattering the activity, then determine what longer-term protection is appropriate for the property.
Depending on the site, longer-term management may include a chemical termite barrier, Termidor treatment, termite baiting and monitoring, or another property-specific strategy.
ACTIVE TREATMENT VS LONG-TERM PROTECTION
These Are Related, But They Are Not Always the Same Treatment
Active Termite Treatment
Addresses the live termite infestation currently present at the property.
- Targets active workings or accessible termite activity
- May require follow-up assessment
- Can be completed before or alongside longer-term protection
Long-Term Termite Protection
Reduces future termite entry risk around relevant areas of the property.
- Chemical treated zones / barriers
- Termidor treatment where appropriate
- Trelona baiting or ongoing monitoring
- Regular termite inspections

ACTIVE TERMITE FAQs
Common Questions About Active Termites
What should I do if I find live termites?
Avoid disturbing the activity, do not spray household insecticide into the area, take clear photos where practical and arrange a professional termite assessment promptly.
Should I remove damaged timber immediately?
Not before the activity has been assessed unless there is an immediate safety issue. Opening or removing infested areas can disturb the termites and make the treatment process harder to assess.
Does active termite treatment guarantee I will never get termites again?
No. Treating the current infestation and managing future termite risk are separate parts of termite management. Ongoing inspections and longer-term protection may still be recommended.
Can I need both active treatment and a chemical barrier?
Yes. If live termites are present, targeted treatment may address the current infestation while a chemical treated zone may be recommended separately for longer-term protection.
Can Goliath review another company’s active termite treatment quote?
Yes. Upload the written quote and Goliath can compare the treatment method, areas included, follow-up, warranty and pricing. Eligible like-for-like Active Termite Treatment quotations may qualify for the 10% price-beat offer.
