Termites are one of the most destructive pests in Malaysia, often attacking homes silently without obvious signs. Many homeowners only realize the problem when furniture, doors, or wooden structures are already badly damaged.
In this article, we’ll explain:
What causes termite infestation
Early warning signs of termites
The best termite treatment options in Malaysia
When to use termite baiting vs soil treatment
How to protect your home long-term
Termites are attracted to moisture, soil contact, and wood materials. Common causes include:
Wooden structures touching the ground
High moisture areas (bathroom, kitchen, leaking pipes)
Cracks in concrete or foundation
Renovation work disturbing underground termite nests
Nearby trees, wooden fences, or old furniture
In areas like Kuala Lumpur, Bukit Jalil, Bangsar, Cheras, and Petaling Jaya, termite activity is especially common due to warm climate and soil conditions.
Many homeowners miss these early signs:
Mud tubes on walls, skirting, or pillars
Hollow or soft wood when tapped
Bubbling or peeling paint
Tight doors or windows (wood swelling inside)
Termite wings near windows or lights
⚠️ Important: Once you see visible signs, termites are usually already active inside the structure.
There is no one size fits all solution. Professional inspection is important before choosing the right method.
Termite baiting is recommended when:
Termite activity location is unclear
You want minimal drilling
The house is already occupied
For condos, landed houses, and renovations
You want long-term colony control
Bait stations are installed at termite-active areas or soil
Termites bring the bait back to the colony
The entire colony is gradually eliminated
Ongoing monitoring ensures effectiveness
✅ Uses ingredients approved by Jabatan Pertanian Malaysia
✅ Eco-friendly & low odor
✅ Targets the root cause the colony
✔ Eliminates entire termite colony
✔ Safe for family & pets
✔ No hacking or heavy drilling
✖ Takes time (weeks to months)
✖ Requires monitoring visits
Heavy infestation at foundation level
Active termites emerging from floor or wall cracks
Landed houses with soil contact
Immediate protection required
Drilling is done along affected areas

| Situation | Recommended Treatment |
|---|---|
| New homeowner | Termite baiting / preventive |
| Condo / apartment | Termite baiting |
| Heavy ground infestation | Corrective soil treatment |
| Long-term control | Termite baiting |
| Minimal drilling | Termite baiting |
A professional site inspection is the best way to determine the right solution.
DIY sprays or hardware-store chemicals do not eliminate termite colonies. Incorrect treatment can make termites spread further.
