Service Overview
Post-construction termite treatment is the corrective option for existing buildings where termite activity is confirmed. Unlike pre-construction treatment, which happens before the slab, post-construction treatment works around the existing structure and is designed to stop current activity while creating a fresh chemical barrier where one has degraded. The treatment process starts with a detailed inspection to locate active termite routes, mud tubes, and entry points. Once the activity map is complete, treatment is applied through drilled injection points in the concrete slab, foundation perimeter, and any known entry zones. For some properties, especially those with timber structures or garden-edge foundations, treatment may also include above-ground bait stations to address the colony directly. Post-construction treatment balances treatment reach with minimal disruption to occupants and operations. For occupied homes, drilling is typically completed in a single day, with the affected areas reinstated after treatment. For commercial premises, work is often scheduled outside operating hours. Treatment effect lasts 5 to 8 years depending on soil type, moisture, and construction, with annual inspection recommended to confirm barrier integrity over time.
If you are seeing active termite signs in an existing property, request a site visit. We will map the activity, identify the construction type, and recommend a treatment plan that addresses both the visible activity and the colony source.

Frequently asked questions
How disruptive is post-construction termite treatment?
Treatment requires drilling at intervals through the concrete slab and along the foundation perimeter. For a typical terrace or apartment unit, drilling and injection are completed in a single day. Drilled holes are sealed after treatment. Furniture does not usually need to be moved, but we will confirm during the site visit.
How much does post-construction termite treatment cost?
Post-construction treatment is priced based on linear metres of perimeter, footprint area, and the number of injection points required. It is more expensive than pre-construction treatment because of the drilling involved. See the price guide for current rates or request a quotation.
How long does post-construction treatment last?
Modern termiticides applied at correct dosage typically remain effective for 5 to 8 years in Malaysian soil conditions. Annual inspection is recommended to confirm barrier integrity and to catch any new activity early.
Do I need to vacate the property during treatment?
Most post-construction treatment does not require vacation. Treatment chemicals are applied at low concentration with targeted injection. Re-entry guidance is provided after the visit, and most treated areas are accessible within a few hours.
Can post-construction treatment be combined with baiting?
Yes. For active infestations, combining soil treatment at the entry points with a baiting system to address the colony at the source is the most effective approach. We will recommend the right combination based on the inspection findings.
