Termite treatment cost in Singapore depends on the type of termite, the size of the property and how far the infestation has spread. Because the right treatment differs between subterranean and drywood termites, we inspect first, then quote the correct scope rather than a blanket price.
Why an inspection comes first
Subterranean termites nest in the soil and enter through the ground, so they are treated with a soil barrier or a baiting system. Drywood termites live inside the timber itself and need a different approach. Pricing follows the treatment the inspection calls for.
What affects the price
- Termite type and the treatment method it requires
- Property size and the number of affected or at-risk areas
- Infestation extent and whether a baiting or barrier system is used
- Warranty and follow-up cover for ongoing protection
Acting early keeps the cost down, because established colonies cause more damage and need more treatment. See our full termite treatment service.
What a termite quote should tell you
Two quotes can look different simply because they cover different things. Before you compare prices, check that each quote answers these points. Four Solutions selects localised treatment, baiting or a soil barrier according to the termite type, access and affected area, and the quote explains what the method covers and the follow up needed.
- Termite type and location. Which termites were found, where the activity is, and how far it appears to extend.
- Method and why it fits. Localised foam or residual treatment for a contained, accessible area; colony baiting with monitoring for an active colony, ground entry or recurring activity; a soil barrier to manage entry from the ground.
- Areas covered. The rooms, timber and entry points included, and any areas that could not be inspected or need further access.
- Monitoring and follow up. How many visits, over what period, and what happens if activity is found again.
- Warranty. The coverage for the selected treatment, confirmed after inspection. A broader colony control scope can carry longer monitoring and warranty coverage.
- Preparation and access. What needs to be moved or opened, and any drilling or access points the method needs.
- Exclusions and extras. Whether repairing damaged timber is included, and any charges outside the treatment itself.
Questions to ask before you agree
- Is the activity current, and how was that confirmed?
- Why is this method suitable for this termite type and this property, rather than the alternatives?
- Which areas are covered, and which could not be checked?
- How many monitoring or follow up visits are included, and over what period?
- What does the warranty cover, for how long, and what is excluded?
- Is any repair of damaged timber part of the quote, or separate?
What to send for an initial view
Send photos of the insects, droppings or pellets and any damaged timber, the property type, where you noticed it and any previous treatment. An inspection then establishes the termite type and the treatment scope. For signs and identification, see the termites in HDB flats guide.
Frequently asked questions
How much does termite treatment cost in Singapore?
It depends on the termite type, property size and infestation extent, so we inspect first and quote the correct scope. Treating early keeps the cost lower.
Why can you not give a flat price?
Subterranean and drywood termites need different treatments, so an inspection determines the method and therefore the price.
Is termite treatment worth it versus DIY?
Treating visible insects alone may leave hidden activity untreated. An inspection identifies the termite type and treatment scope, including any monitoring and applicable warranty.
What should a termite treatment quote include?
The termite type and where activity was found, the method selected and why, the areas covered and any areas that could not be accessed, the monitoring or follow up visits, the warranty coverage for the selected treatment, the preparation and access needed, and the total price with any extra charges.
Does termite treatment repair damaged timber?
Treatment and repair are separate scopes. Ask whether repairing or replacing damaged timber is included in the quote or needs a separate contractor.
How long does the termite warranty last?
Four Solutions confirms the warranty coverage for the selected treatment after inspection. A broader colony control scope with baiting and monitoring can carry longer monitoring and warranty coverage, agreed in the written quote.
