Know More About Our Termite Pest Control Services

flexibility icon 1

Flexibility

Sentricon AlwaysActive can be used for new or existing structures, as a preventative or curative treatment, either alone or in combination with other treatments. It may be used in areas of difficult construction, such as heating ducts, drainage systems, stucco below grade, slabs foundations, etc.

simplicity icon 1

Simplicity

Sentricon AlwaysActive is quick and easy to install. There is usually no destruction/disruption to any structure. As the termiticide is housed in stations, these can be altered at any time to accommodate changes in the structure’s footprint and/or landscaping. Even if the dog digs one up, it can simply be replaced.

Safety

Sentricon AlwaysActive is used in most termite pest control in Singapore due to the minimal hazards involved with it. It is safe to you, your customers, their pets and the environment. There are no nasty chemicals involved. There is no impact on groundwater, wildlife and the environment. So, it is a negligible risk in sensitive situations. Sentricon targets termites, so beneficial insects are not affected.

Affordable

Sentricon AlwaysActive is an affordable protection against a common risk and an ideal termite management system that can be maintained for the life of the structure.

Types of Termites in Singapore

Singapore’s warm, humid climate (25–32°C; 80–90% humidity) supports year-round termite activity, with different termite species varying in biology, habitat, and the type of damage they cause.

Subterranean Termites

The most prevalent termite species, responsible for the majority of reported infestations. They establish colonies below ground and construct pencil-thin mud tubes to travel between the soil and any cellulose food source above it. 

Their preference for foundations, load-bearing beams, and structural supports makes them particularly consequential for  industrial buildings, warehouses, and construction sites.

Drywood Termites

Drywood termites do not require soil contact or elevated moisture to thrive. They establish colonies entirely within dry timber, infesting furniture, door frames, ceiling structures, and wooden flooring. 

Their presence is often identified through frass, small, pellet-like droppings found near infested wood surfaces.

Dampwood Termites

Attracted to timber with moisture content, dampwood termites are found in areas affected by water ingress, inadequate drainage, or pipe leaks. 

Although less common in Singapore than subterranean species , they pose a significant risk to older structures and to any premises with inadequate moisture management.

If you have identified or suspect any of these species on your premises, contact PestBusters for a professional termite inspection.

Signs of Termite Infestation

Termites are frequently discovered only after significant structural damage has already taken hold. In industrial environments, where wooden pallets, storage racking, structural beams, and warehouse flooring are particularly vulnerable, early identification is essential to avoid operational disruption and costly remediation.

Common warning signs include:

Mud Tubes

Narrow tunnels of soil and debris along foundations, walls, or structural beams indicate subterranean termites travelling between their colony and a food source.

Hollow-Sounding Timber

Wood that produces a hollow or papery sound when tapped, indicating that the interior has been consumed.

Blistered or Bubbling Paint

Surface irregularities on walls or wooden fixtures caused by termite activity beneath the surface.

Frass

Fine, powdery droppings found near skirting boards, walls, or wooden structures, characteristic of drywood termites.

Discarded Wings

Small, translucent wings near entry points, windowsills, or light sources, left by swarming termites establishing new colonies.

Tight-Fitting Doors or Windows

Timber swelling caused by moisture produced by termite activity, resulting in doors and windows that no longer fit their frames cleanly.

Faint Clicking or Tapping Within Walls

Audible signals from soldier termites communicating or feeding within structural elements

Our Termite Treatment Methods

We use a range of termite treatment methods tailored to site conditions and levels of termite activity.

no pest

Sentricon AlwaysActive Baiting System

What it is: A colony-targeted baiting system designed to control termite activity without drilling, excavation, or structural disruption.

How it works: Termites are attracted to discreetly placed bait stations and carry the active compound back to the colony, supporting broader colony control. The system can be installed as above-ground or in-ground stations and operates without power, with minimal impact on people, pets, and the environment when used as directed.

Suitable for: New and existing structures across residential, commercial, and industrial settings, with ongoing inspection and maintenance to support continuous termite management.

TRITHOR Physical Termite Barrier

What it is: A pre-construction termite management system that combines a physical and chemical barriers installed at the foundation and slab stage.

How it works: TRITHOR’s multilayer membrane is applied beneath slabs and around key entry points, helping reduce concealed termite entry at slab penetrations and expansion joints, while also functioning as a moisture barrier.

Suitable for: Industrial, commercial, and residential new construction projects, with a Global GreenTag Level A rating and potential contribution to Green Mark–aligned developments.

Termiticide Soil Treatment

What it is: A liquid-applied termite treatment injected into the soil around a structure’s foundation to create a protective zone.

How it works: The termiticide is applied into the soil to target existing termite activity and form a treated barrier, helping reduce the risk of future infestations when applied thoroughly.

Suitable for: Both pre-construction and post-construction settings across residential, commercial, and industrial properties, with application carried out by trained technicians to support effective coverage.

pestcontrol

Dusting and Foaming

What it is: A targeted termite treatment using termiticidal dust or foam applied directly into active termite galleries. 

How it works: The dust or foam is introduced through injection points into infested areas, where it spreads within the colony through termite movement and grooming behaviour.

Suitable for: Localised infestations in residential, commercial, and industrial settings, particularly in occupied premises where minimal operational disruption is preferred.

quality assurance

Termatrac Detection Radar

What it is: A non-invasive termite detection system using advanced sensing technology to identify activity within structures.

How it works: Combining microwave radar, thermal imaging, and moisture sensing, the device helps locate and confirm active termite presence within walls, floors, and structural elements without drilling or physical penetration.

Suitable for: Residential, commercial, and industrial properties, with non-disruptive inspections that can support reporting, compliance, and audit requirements.

Pre-Construction & Post-Construction Termite Treatment

We provide integrated termite protection solutions for industrial, commercial, and residential projects, covering both pre-construction planning and post-construction management to support long-term structural protection and compliance requirements.

flexibility icon 1

Pre-Construction Treatment

Pre-construction termite protection is designed for warehouses, factories, industrial facilities, commercial buildings, and new residential developments. This stage focuses on creating protective barriers before structural completion to help reduce the risk of future termite activity.

Our approach includes soil treatment, Trithor physical and chemical barriers applied during foundation and slab stages. These solutions work together to form protective zones around critical structural areas, supporting long-term termite management in new builds.

Post-Construction Treatment

Post-construction termite management is designed for occupied properties with minimal disruption to daily operations. Suitable for industrial, commercial, and residential environments, these solutions support ongoing termite control while maintaining business continuity.

Treatment options include termite soil injection, slab injection systems, and Sentricon baiting systems with reticulation piping where applicable. These methods are applied in accordance with National Environment Agency (NEA) and relevant building compliance standards, targeting existing termite activity while helping reduce the risk of future infestations.
