Termite control methods

If you find your home or business under attack by this damaging pest, Rentokil can offer several termite control treatments to eliminate the infestation and restore your sense of control and comfort.

You can refer to the household termite pest inspection method to check the termite breeding situation by yourself. If you find these termite signs, please contact our termite control experts immediately.

Of course, you can monitor for termites yourself and take action to terminate termite yourself with expert guidance, but self-treatment can easily lead to termite spreading and other severe problems. We recommend a comprehensive termite inspection by a team of accredited termite control experts to ease your anxiety right away. 

Found traces of pests? You need the advice of a professional pest exterminator company. In addition to termites, Rentokil provides all-in-one pest control services for various common pests in Hong Kong including rats and mice, bed bugs, cockroaches, etc.

Termite inspections

Termite inspections should be conducted at least annually, and more frequently depending on the termite species suspected, building construction type, environmental conditions, property location and geography, and history of any termite-related issues within or surrounding the property. 

The results of termite inspections are delivered in a detailed written report and include as a minimum:

  • Termites detection or non-detection
  • Environmental or conducive conditions for termites
  • Any termite damage found during the inspection
  • All areas that had limited access or were restricted for the inspection
  • Any risk factors that may increase the chances of a termite infestation
  • Recommended termite treatment options

Exterra termite baiting stations

In-ground monitoring and baiting

In-ground termite stations are installed in strategically important points around your property, applied to areas at most risk of attracting termites, such as moist soil or mulch, old tree stumps, irrigation sprinkler heads and downspouts. For some devices, they are inspected regularly and when active termites are detected, a baiting program will commence. Other devices contain active baits and are inspected regularly regardless of whether there is termite activity.

Worker termites take bait - which contains termiticide - back to their nests as a food source, feeding it to and shortly collapsing the colony. 

  • Suitable for homeowners and businesses who want to take proactive measures against termites
  • Suitable for implementation at any time
  • Designed for both monitoring and baiting

Above-ground monitoring and baiting

Above-ground termite monitoring involves the use of unobtrusive termite bait stations, which are placed on identified feeding sites and are then removed once the colony is eliminated.

  • Suitable for homeowners and businesses if termites are already active within the property
  • Suitable for implementation at any time
  • Designed for baiting only

Termite soil treatment and spot treatment

The treatment involves applying a liquid chemical, a termiticide, to the soil, either under the concrete flooring or around the entire perimeter and foundations of the building to create a continuous and complete solid barrier.

Some chemicals are designed to kill termites and others are designed to deter and/or repel them. Engage with your Rentokil termite professional about choosing the right type of termite chemical for you. 

  • Suitable for homeowners and businesses who want to take proactive measures against termites
  • Suitable for implementation at any stage of the building’s life
