Termites control

[annice]

Hi,

Any idea or good recommendation on termites control agents? And any idea on how they charge? (both drilling and the baiting system)

Thanks ;) :confused:

[coleslaw]

our forummer termibait is the termites expert. my sis has engaged his services. i'll pm you his nbr.

[Plantronic]

To be safe side must use a well known Pest Control Company. Previously i use one of the local Pest control company with Money guarantee back.. this company does not solve my problem & did not give back my money. Really regreted to choose this company & cheated by they marketing strategic . Then i use Rentokil & it solve my problem .. ;)

[elle70]

Go for the Centricon system. It eliminates whole colony. I know rentokil & NCL offers the service. I used it about 5 yrs ago and they charge by the size of your house area if I remember correctly. Centricon system is more expensive then drilling but it's worth every sen.

Good luck!

Dear Elle70,

it is called Sentricon system. Yes, it is effective, but only to certain species of termites in particular, Coptotermes and schedorhinotermes spp.

When it comes to termite treatment, it does not mean Baiting system is the best. you will need a pest control surveyor to carry out assessment at your premise and determine which treatment suits your condition best. Of course, u will have your own priorities such as no drilling to your tiles,only a small portion is affected. for example, it will be very costly if the trees at your house is infested with globitermes spp and you engage a baiting system which does not kill or eliminate this species. In this case, the options may be a baiting system that kills this species at a higher rate, or localise treatment such as drenching or trenching surrounding the tree trunk using liquid chemicals at a lower rate.

Having said that, it is always recommended to get 2 or 3 quotation before making your decisions and do some research first.

Hi termibait, thanks for your clear explanation.

Sentricon, Rentokil and NCL, are these reputable companies we can trust? Any others in order we can ask for quotation? Are these companies capable of checking the type of termite species?

Normally will these companies charge us when they perform checking at our house?

[termibait]

Dear Xt900,

you are welcome.

First of all, SEntricon is a system to control termite infestation. Rentokil,NLC are companies engaging sentricon system to kill termite.

it is a common practice in malaysia that survey is a free of charge.

There are few hundreds of companies in malaysia, maybe u can search online. As for the species of termite, it depends on the experience of the surveyor and his knowledge on termite control. some companies does employ technicial manager to carry out pest species identification while others send sample to lab at a small fee.

In my opinion,it is not only the company that you should take into consideration. The
experience of the surveyor and price should be taking into consideration too.

[Plantronic]

I will prefer Rentokil cause it is a worldwide Pest Control Company. As i know they won't run away. I have bad experiance with NCL. Talks only with marketing but once doen't solve !!! Money also didn't give back.. Sigh :(

[Plantronic]

Btw termibate ..i checked with Malaysia Pesticide of board. In 2007 about 600 companies register to PCAM but end of 2008. About 400 Companies closed shop.. :rolleyes:

[coleslaw]

i've bad experience with rentokil..3 calls to them for an appointment and there were no return calls from them. to me, if you are not interested, neither am i.

i contacted our forummer,termibait. my problem is termites in the garden. it was a very large colony as their nests were on every trees in the garden. to me, i reckon, it's cheaper to control the termites than to replace the trees!! the colony is almost gone now, all this with regular monitoring from termibait. it's almost 3 months down the road and i'm happy with the service and of course the result.
my sis also engaged termibait services for her house. hers is termites infestation in the store room and kitchen.

i don't have a share in termibait's business but sharing my experience. and would i recommend him to anyone? yes i would. :)

[Plantronic]

Termite colony inside your tree & spraying at the tree solve your termite problem ?

so coleshaw what kind of system your sis is using ? :rolleyes:

read again what i wrote..never once did i mentioned i sprayed the trees...
i don't know what system my sis used..i didn't ask.. :rolleyes:

are you in the termites industry as well?

[Plantronic]

I call them . Respond very fast !

[coleslaw]

so what's yr problem?

[Plantronic]

I was in a kitchen line- As Senior Chef de Parties.

the result of termite almost gone ( almost gone ) ? their nests were on every trees ? can see the nest on the trees ? i wondering how is the nests look like inside the tree ? :rolleyes:

[coleslaw]

you seem to find this termite thread humourous...good on you.

however, you don't seem to comprehend what's posted. looking back at all your posts so far, i understood. :rolleyes:

[termibait]

Dear Plantronic,

Usually u won't be able to see the nest of a coptotermes spps, similar to macrotermes spps which is currently feeding on the trees of coleslaw's. However, the difference here is the species we are talking about and their habitats. For coptotermes, it is subterranean termites and having said that, their nest is usually 10 - 15 ft under surface. Occasionally, we may be able to see sub-nests, which are built by sub-queens if the colony is too large and they have travelled too far from their nests. This can be seen usually at high-rise buildings and it is explained why Condo's on the 15 or 20th floor is still facing termite problems. You may refer to this websites for details about subterranean termites. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Formosan_subterranean_termite

As for macrotermes spp, they will usually form a mound and queen is normally situated in the center of the mound. you may refer to below websites or other websites for your knowledge. http://www.esf.edu/efb/turner/termite/mound%20structure.htm

Thanks so much.. Now i understand more.

Btw termibait.. if termite infestation at the roof area which is cross over from the neighbour . what system we need to do ? :confused:

[termibait]

Btw termibait.. if termite infestation at the roof area which is cross over from the neighbour . what system we need to do ? :confused:

First of all, you will need to ascertain the level of the infestation and how far it has spread to! Then you will need to know the available systems in them market and a surveyor will advise u on the suitable system based on his/her survey report.

Finally, you make the decision based on your priorities! The system which is offered to you may not be acceptable by you. Having said that, it is impossible to tell you which system is suitable for the time being.

you may refer to the earlier page of this thread for available treatment methods for termite.

Hi termibait, good day!

For those service contractor who drill holes in your house to put in the chemical, normally how deep they drill? Normally our houses are build on top of thick layer of semen, unless the holes were drilled deeper than the semen layer, else it is not effective right?

[Plantronic]

Normally Normal Cement for domestic house is 1 feet - 1 1/2 feet deep only.. :D

:eek: .... crike!! for a moment I thought I was reading a porn article... [potong steam!!] about (of all things).... termites... :D

thanks for the helluva laugh though... even my wife LAUGHED!!

[termibait]

Plantronic is right. By right, it should be 1.5feet deep into soil as that is the drill bit's length. In actual, there could be rocks or others that may cause technician to drill only 1.0feet or lesser into soil. YOU should use a stick to measure every holes and ask technician to pump in more chemicals at holes which are less than 1.2feet deep.

As for the LArgest Company Advise! I beg to differ as it is very much depends on the experience and knowledge or the surveyor/consultant that comes to your house. You could have the best company in the world with all the standards set on paper but engaging/deploying less skilled,fresh graduates to your house/property. Of course, proper training could have or you may assume has already taken place before this consultant come to your house. I still remember 6 years ago when i joined this industry, first question raised by my clients was "how long you have been in this industry"?

[Plantronic]

Anyway i hate Termite.. :p

[annice]

I have some recomendations on 2-years or 5-years plan on the soil treatment and some said Agenda and some said normal (standard and approved) will do, and some even can offer lower prices and i wonder if just go for well known pest control company will be the best solution ?

[Plantronic]

I was using Agenda bout 4 years ago.. till now touch wood is safe.. :rolleyes:

[EST]

Hi all,

I am an ex-surveyor of a well known pest control company.


For your information,termite treatment includes:

1) Pre construction treatment

Pesticide is sprayed onto the soil foundation before you construct the house.


2) Post construction treatment

i) Baiting system: Sentricon etc

Baiting system is only applicable when the house is affected. You must see active termites ( coptotermes species ) then only you can bait them. It is just a bait where it does not attract termites, thus if there is no active spots, baiting system is not effective at all.

ii) Drilling system:

Drilling system is applicable for both cases ( with our without active termite in the house ).
This is to drill onto the concrete floor ( ground floor only )along the perimeter of the house and pesticide will be filled into each holes.

If the house is not affected, the treatment is a preventive treatment.
If the house is already affected with active termites seen, the treament is to eliminate and to prevent.

You will have around 100-130 holes along the perimeter of your house.

* How much does it cost?
It depends on what type of pesticide (chemical) you use. There are more than 30 brands of anti termite pesticide in the market.

You have to know:
1) The class of the pesticide ( Class I - V )- to determine how safe for health purpose
2) Repellent or Non-repellent type - to determine the cost of the chemical and the effectiveness
3) The number of holes to be drilled - each chemical has the requirement such as how far to be drilled between 2 holes, how many litre to be filled into each holes and etc.
4) Active ingredients of the chemical - to decide which brand is the best out of so many brands in the market.

* You need to have a survey in order to determine if there is a need for anti termite treatment and which treatment to be chose.

I hope the above explanation is able to help.
* feel free to ask me should you need help. :)

[termibait]

est has spelled out most of the available methods,system offered in the market.however,i would like to oso add tat the baiting system using sentricon is limited to 2species n the inground stations does nt attract termite into the monitoring stations.unlike anthr system,it can attract termite into stations n able to eliminate almost all species of termite.
As for drilling,so far there is no company in malaysia dares to say it is able to eliminate termites due to many factors such as chemical applied,ground beam,wall cracks,underground pipes n cables.having said tat,an experience surveyor preferably wit P.A.L license would b more convincing..

Hi termibait.. have u heard b4 ( termguard ) ? what is that ar ? :confused:

[EST]

annice,

Termguard is also another type of termite preventive treatment.

The system is to install a pipe underneath the ground concrete slab. The length and the layout of the pipe will follow your water pipe. The pipe has some outlets for you to fill in the anti termite pesticide once in very 3 or 5 years.

This treatment will take place during construction. To be exact, before the ground concrete slab to be laid. Once the ground slab is ready, no way for Termguard.

The cost of the treatment is easily more than RM15,000 for one standard terrace house.

You will pay:
First, installation cost. Installation's cost is one time for 50 years ( warranty on pipe- 50 years ).
Second, refill cost. Chemical refill will be a couple of hundred ringgit per job. You can get any pest control contractor to refill the chemical for you.

[termibait]

yup, wat est has explained is rentokil's package. The pros is u dont nd to drill any holes in future.but,the personally i don really see the benefits it provides as pumping of chemicals may nt b able to create a protected zone as holes may b stuck in soils.further,nt all pest control company wants to do it as the margin of refill is vry low.oso,u don noe the effectiveness of de system even after refill.for houses infested after installation,the treatmnt is only spraying.might as well save de money for baiting system.i wont even explore the price.

[Plantronic]

my uncle said termguard is only for bangalow houses .. :confused:

[EST]

Hi Plantronic , made mistake ( thought annice asked about it) Termguard is new in Malaysia. Not many houses had this treatment before. I guess not many than 50 cases nationwide to date.


ALL THE SYSTEMS HAS THEIR PROS AND CONS.

It depends on what circumstances you are in before you should decide which treatment to be carried out.

BAITING SYSTEM ( Sentricon & Exterra are the most reputable system available in the market now )

Pros: No drilling holes, clean and easy method
Cons: Need to have active termites then only can carry out this system. Prevention is better than Cure DOESN'T apply here. Nobody wants to wait till the problem arises, then only you can treat the house.

DRILLING SYSTEM ( Agenda, Premise 200 SC, Precint are those common brand in the market )

Pros: Prevention purpose especially when there is a renovation, you should go for this treatment before you put up new tiles. It creates a barrier to protect your house.
Cons: Drilling on your existing tiles may break you tiles and leave some ungly holes.

Personally, i think it would be good to:

i) Get a skilled surveyor to survey your house.
ii) Get a few quotations from different pest control companies.
iii) Get some extra info from the Internet.
iv) Decide on the type of the treatment.
v) Monitor the works of the technician from the beginning till finish..
How much chemical, dillution, chemical to be pump in, how many baiting system they install.

[EST]

My friends told me that this company is (SKL).. better don't sign with them.. :eek:

[termibait]

it is nt necessary to renew the ctrt as nowadays companies offering sentricon/exterra/drilling takeover contract. E.g. U have signed up wit sentricon n now u don renew.one mth/one yr later u regret n wants to renew.usual case would b anthr 2k.but now,we offer renewal for u even though ur has been treated by other company.

I have bad experience with R.I. claimed to be the largest pest control company in malaysia but the salesperson came to my house does not know what he is talking about. he just came in and asked how big is my house, then look here and there and said he will come back with quotation. Maybe he was too busy, i didn't get his reply after that. Termibait is not bad, he explained the biology of termite,available treatment methods and also the best rate for my house. I saved nearly 1k for the treatment. now!? my house is free of termite for almost a year already. i strongly recommend forumers to give him a call. his survey is free of charge.

note : i m not related to termibait, just find that his service is good and better than other big companies in the market and most of all, his quote is reasonable and realistic. now, my problem is solved.

hmm,tat's an interesting topic.it's quite easy to detect d existence of termite @our hse especially when they r super active happily eating up our wooden furniture.
Step 1. Take a torchlight.screwdriver.
Step 2. Check all corners,edges of furniture,doorframe,flr skirting,toilet window frame,underneath basin parquet outside washroom.
step 3.u will c mud trails,hollow wood,gaps filled wit soils.
Step 4. Pry open wit ur screwdrriver2look 4live/active termite.
Step 5. Determine the spcies.here,u nd d expertise of pest control operators's help.for me,i ve a guidebook.usually the mandibles n shape of termite soldier could tell us d species.
Step 6.don do anything,ask for a quote n decide the best pco.

Thanks for the tips.

If it's a double story house, usually can termite found on top floor?
Is there specific woods that the termite prefer? or they just eat up whatever woods there is...

[termibait]

Thanks for the tips.

If it's a double story house, usually can termite found on top floor?
Is there specific woods that the termite prefer? or they just eat up whatever woods there is...

u used the word usually! usually termite comes from the groundfloor before attacking your top floors wooden structure. in fact, i also seen termite attacking top floors first. The question is why top floor and why ground floor?
Ground floor is quite straightfoward as termite colony lives underground and that is where the nest is located. As there is no food source in underground,therefore, they source for food at our house enter through wall cracks,crevices,groundbeam gaps,doorframe,piping,etc. This lead to the question of WHY OUR HOUSE?Answer is Our houses are normally ex-plantation land,which belongs to termite's nest and feeding area. When trees(termite's food) are chopped down,they left with no food and are forced to source for food at our house.

For Top Floor, termite (alates),in cantonese we called "shui ngai", can fly into our house and if the all conditions are met,termites will start to reproduce and happily eating up your wood.Also, there could be chances of cross infestations from your neighbours through walls and rooftop.

To answer your question on their preferred woods. Studies has showed that termite favoured trees for nesting are English oaks, various eucalypts and peppercorns especially Coptotermes acinaciformis and this species is the most destructive termite species in Australia. our country is not sparred too. Personally, i think termite eats almost anything with cellulose.just that they choose woods that is soft compare to the other available wood.

hope tis will help our friends and relatives in knowing more about termite control.

Some articles i received via email for some thoughts!

Never ever thought that ants can be sooooooooooooooo dangerous... ..check out these incidents... ..really shocking....

Incident One:
A little boy died because surgeons found ants in his brain! Apparently
this boy fell asleep with some sweets in his mouth or with some sweet stuff beside him. Ants soon got to him and some ants in fact crawled into his ear and somehow managed to go into his brain. When he woke up, he did not realize that ants had gone into his head.
After that, he constantly complained about itchiness around his face. His mother brought him to a doctor, but the doctor could not figure out what was wrong with him. He took an X-ray of the boy and to his horror, he found a group of live ants in his skull. Since the ants were still alive, the doctor could not operate on him because the ants were constantly moving around.. The boy finally died. So please be careful when leaving food stuff near your bed or when eating in bed. This might attract ants. Most importantly, NEVER you or your child eat sweets before going to bed. You or your child might attract ants while you are asleep.

Incident Two:
Another similar incident happened in a hospital in Taiwan . This man was warded in the hospital and was constantly warned by the nurses not to leave food stuff by his bedside because there were ants about. He did not heed their advice. Ants finally got to him. His family members said that the man constantly complained about headaches. He died and a post mortem or autopsy was done on him. Doctors found a group of live ants in his head. Apparently, the ants had been eating bits of his brain.
So friends, better be safe than sorry. Never leave food stuff beside Your bed you when you go to sleep.

You flers never learn to check your information sources ... or are you so gullible? naive? ...

I copied some of the text from that story and put it on google and guess what I found?

Read it here (http://www.truthorfiction.com/rumors/a/antbrains.htm)

Moral of the story - what you read on the web or the email or the SMS need not be the truth. Simple common sense should make you suspicious. That story probably circulated around the globe for years ... all because people believe anything and re-sent it

[termibait]

kwchang,
How sure r u tat de source u found is correct?the reason i m putting up here is bcos myself oso not sure.yes,common sense says there is no aliens...but who can prove tat?
Tat's y if a doctor,our forumer, could explain to us our head,hear,nose structure n why ants cant enter into our brain.it will benefit all of us.for as long as i noe,i had ants inside my ears when i was young.
As it's better to have ants free @home than to regret in future.

My uncle got one unit at goodyear court 10. infested by termite. need him to settle it .

[termibait]

Over a couple of years, i realised that a number of clients asked me what is the most effective way of preventing termite from entering into our premise and cause damages....To answer their question, there is no 100% of guarantee on termite prevention method. But u do have options to Reduce the Risk of termite attack. Taking other factors aside,if ur house is intermediate lot, the best method is still Corrective Treatment/slab injection/drilling with non-smelly chemical such as premise200sc + constant monitoring by house owners + Good stacking sytem in store room,cabinets + no leaking of water. Wit this, it should be able to keep ur house 5 years free of termite. However, due to certain priorities of individual owners, we try our best to provide valuable advice and comparisons for owners to make a decision which suits their budget,needs, and probably convenience.

If u have a intermediate lot with nice floortiles,expensive kitchen cabinets, expired warranty of anti termite certificate, news of termite attack at neighbours....and drilling seems to be impossible. i would suggest u to take up a monitoring + curative program. This will ensure ur house is protected from serious termite attack with EARLY detection of termite and IMMEDIATE treatment can be done BEFORE the colony grow BIGGER and ELIMINATION of colony before OTHER WOODEN Structure is destroyed.

Will provide more advice when time is allowed.

hope tis help those owners in dilemma....

Sometimes i wonder if u r one of us?! :) sounds like The Matrix ya?jus kidding.
Agenda 2.5ec is currently one of the liquid solution monopoly by the company name bayer and there r only few PCOs appointed by bayer is allowed to sell @premium price. It's active ingredient is fipronil. Well, i would recommend u to use premise200sc if price is the factor as premise does the way as agenda.
By the way,wat it is for?drilling or spraying?

aiyo my previous post also said that my house done drilling B4..

[Herma]

To be safe side must use a well known Pest Control Company. Previously i use one of the local Pest control company with Money guarantee back.. this company does not solve my problem & did not give back my money. Really regreted to choose this company & cheated by they marketing strategic . Then i use Rentokil & it solve my problem .. ;)
Can advise which of the company u used that cheated your money so that we can prevent ourselve from being cheated..

[Herma]

Hi, may i know how much would it cost for this kind of treatment? and how often we need to do the treatment? u mentioned about intermediate lot.. wat about corner lot? any different? I bought a house in USJ and recently I found out that the neighbour's house infected with termite. How can I prevent my neighbour's termite crossing over to my house?

[termibait]

The price is differs with the treatment u chose. If u were to choose drilling, the price differs with the chemical proposed to you. cheapest is chlopyrifos,premise 200sc and agenda is almost same price nowadays with a corner house 22 x 40 build up. it cost about RM1500 - 2000. (may have to drill internal floor-wall area).
1. Drilling does not 100% prevent termite from crossing over to your house. it does reduce the chance of cross infestation to ur premise. with non-smelly chemical pumped into the soil forming a protection zone(chemical treated zone),termites crossing over gets in contact with chemicals will be killed and the domino's effect will be able to kill the whole colony(theoritically). In actual, the soil structure,floor tiles, ground movement,technician's skill,furnitures etc will reduce the result.
2. for corner house, usually u will plant trees at the garden area and trees emits co2,collects water(moitures), thus, the condition attracts termite in comparisons to intermediate lots. Therefore, u may choose other system like sentricon or exterra system by installing In-ground stations and frequent monitoring from skilled technicians(preferably with P.A.L)Pesticide applicator license who knows where,how and able to explain to u on the condition of ur house. this is a yearly renewal contract with first year's contract value about RM1800-2200 and renewal about 500 - 700 depending on the actual size of the house,seriouness of the problem, locations, and others.
3. prices mentioned above is just for indication only.......

Dear Herma.

I will prefer u to the well known pest control company like Rentokil. I don't mind to pay some extra due to security or insured that given. If small or local pest control company normally they wash hand after signing with them. i have bad experiance with those company B4.

I swear that i have nothing to do with Rentokil. But i really satisfied with the professional that they show to me.

Hi Ranjit,

I got a question for you but not regard on pest control. How come you and Plantronic share the same IP address (Plantronic post #63 and yours # 73)?? My IT knowledge was not that good actually, so correct me if it's incorrect.

Thanks.

[siew.wai]

Well, If I am not wrong, then Ranjit = Plantronic and both also giving good comments to Rentokil.

:D :D

[Plantronic]

Hi .. how come suddenlly involve me ... then i better keep my post.. enjoy

[termibait]

this time i think u have some explanation to do liao lor....:)

[bufung]

Hello all..
May I know where to can we consumer buy Termidor or Agenda or Premise here in Malaysia?

I understand Agenda is a controlled products.. but is there anyway to buy Termidor? they are exactly the same things just different trade name.. active ingredient= Fipronil....

anybody have idea how much are those?

ebay US are selling Termidor/Phantom/Premise.. by far I understand all this 3 are the best termite control product in the market..

anybody try use Orange Oil here? an alternative to chamical but not last long.... orange oil(d-lamonade) are harmless to human but do kill termite..

[wyshin88]

Today I saw one live termite on the ground floor at one corner, and saw a few other termite (dead) lying around, does that mean that my house is infected with termite already? I look around that corner, can't find any gaps, or mud trail or nothing suspicious at all, and yet there are a few dead ones.....ohh no, this worries me.... :(

[termibait]

I would suggest you to call few companies to ask for advice. Are you sure it is sub. termite? If u have sprayed, or someone has sprayed sheltox, the chance is u will see dead termites all over....temporarily only. good luck

[wyshin88]

I don't understand, I am not sure if they are sub, but they are white in color with some brownish in the middle of their stomach, I found a few more as the day goes by, all dead, maybe I have stepped on them or something, I am also not sure, I am keeping some dead ones as sample. will keep monitoring.

[termibait]

You won't be stepping on them cos they usually moves along the wall-floor skirting. you may want to consider taking a photo and post it here. let me c what i can do to help you.

[wyshin88]

You are right, they are near the ground floor tile skirting, but my question is, I thought termite loves wood and why are they eating up the concrete? It appears that some of the cement of the floor skirting is chipped off. I wish I could take a picture but the dead ones are so small and my camera is not capable to focus and take a clear picture to show you :(

[termibait]

it's confirmed subterranean termite.

[wyshin88]

Yup, I couldn't beleive it but it was true as Termibait came to my house for inspection and ply open the door frame (slightly), and immediately the soldier termite came out. Termibait then let the soldier termite bite his finger and some white liquid came out of the termite's mouth, so it's confirmed Copto, the destructive species.

I signed up the Sentricon package with Termibait, the price is really competitive, even though it is very stiff for me, but have to do it. Very please with his service so far, very patient and did a thorough job, and finger crossed, hopefully the termite problem will be solved.

[wyshin88]

Correction: The package I signed up was Termibait Program and not Sentricon.

[Phres]

wonder whether we can do any DIY for termite problems? looks like a problem even here in Putra Heights my neighbor 2 doors away kena...

[termibait]

u may diy when u r fully aware of the risk involved n knowledge of termite control. It may sound complicated n yet simple. The main problem will b the cost tat u r willing to pay. e.g. If termite bait such as exterra,exterm,sentricon is for sale@700.rather than a package of 2.5k.the cost may not jus stop there.more often,u nd to buy additional bait
In order to eliminate the colony.as such,it bcome 1.4k of total cost. Somehow rather,i blieve the cost will not exceed 1.8k in total b it diy or signing a package.for me,i'd sign up package as it comed wit warranty of 1yr,unlimited baits if active termite is found.continuous inspection by expert n nd not to get sweat n dirty ur hands.hehe
By the way,i ve a client in ph currently using my program.the colony is almost eliminated. :) anyone interested, i can show u the site as the owner is very kind n helpful to assist ppl wit termite problem.

[Phres]

what does "termibait program" entails? is it for prevention or just treatment?

[termibait]

Hi Phres,

Termibait program is a comprehensive program that is not only for prevention but also for curative treatment. The program, i would say, is not like what you can get from the market. I apologise for not being able to disclose in this thread as i believe this is my trade secret where i would be able to differentiate myself from other players in the market. The increasing number of clients from usj forum and positive feedback really gave me the will to even improve my service and looking forward to work with the owner of usj.com.my to provide a package to subang jaya folks..

Well, if you do encounter with pests problems i would love to assist you in solving your problem with my professional advice. It does not matter if you do not sign up with me at the end of the day. Most importantly is i am able to help you to determine the best treatment for your house/property.

regards

Ohh just a little testimonial here, termite problem in my home is completely gone, the whole colony is dead after installing Termibait System for 1 month. Thanks to our fellow forumer Termibait for his professional advice and service, after this experience, termite is not that scary afterall (eventhough I still hate them!!!), as long as we get the right people to do the right job.

Good job Termibait!! :)

And before signing up with Termibait, I did check around some other pest control companies, their prices are super expensive.

Termibait's price is very competitive.

Hi termibait,

my hse previously attacked by termite and the colony was eliminated by previous owner. Now I'm looking for a termite monitoring solution. the previous company charging RM500~RM600 for the bimonthly inspection service.

I'm not sure if you provide the same service at the cheap cost?? :)

I've pm you and hope to hear from you... :)
