Make These 4 Termite Control Services in Malaysia Your Secret Weapon
Although many of us are now living in concrete homes, we’re pretty sure that somewhere, somehow, there’s still wood in your home. Whether that may be a random bookshelf or a support beam, wood is still indispensable.
So, when one sees signs of termites, we should still be alarmed. A good handyman, no matter how skilled, won’t be able to handle these critters properly; you need to get the guys with the big “guns”.
Here’s our review of the best expert termite control services in Malaysia. Check each company out below to know who to call when you need one!
How much is the average termite control treatment in Malaysia?
The cost of a termite control treatment in Malaysia can go from as low as RM200 to north of RM 2,500. Actual costs highly depend on the complexity of the process and the extent of infestation.
1. Rentokil – Selangor
Location: Shah Alam, Selangor
Contact: 03-5614 8300
Business hours:
- Monday to Friday – 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM
- Saturday and Sunday – CLOSED
Rentokil opened in 1972 and is one of the oldest pest control companies in Malaysia. The Selangor branch that serves Petaling Jaya and the rest of the Klang Valley stood out to us for its reliable performance.
As a major player in the industry, Rentokil provides pest control and fumigation for homes, businesses, and even industrial facilities. It’s ISO-certified and a member of the MPMA, giving us high expectations in its termite extermination services.
Our hopes were definitely met after we asked them to check out our office. We saw the care of Rentokil technicians in surveying our place for any pest infestation, recommending suitable preventative measures, as well as scheduling a follow-up visit.
Although some client anecdotes mention alleged tardiness or total FFKs (opposite to our experience), we’re sure Rentokil is making efforts to improve. Moreover, we’re also very glad that its services come with a 10-year warranty that includes retreatment if termites return.
Thorough, informative, and professional
“I got Rentokil to help eliminate Termite issue in my house. The Residential Specialist that was assigned to me was Jimmy Tan and without a doubt, the best guy to handle everything from inspecting to servicing. He was very thorough with his initial checks around the house, he made sure he checks all places. He explains everything from A to Z which was very informative and helpful. He was quick with his work and also leaves no mess. Very professional, very friendly guy. I will choose Rentokil because of him.”

2. Ridpest

If you’re looking for eco-friendly pest control options for commercial, residential, or industrial needs, Ridpest is here. Operating since 1985, this company prides itself in using the latest technology against pests.
Ridpest’s 200% money-back promise is its biggest feat. Here’s how it goes: if your termite problem isn’t gone in 150 days (about 5 months), you can either get a full refund or have them cover the cost of another exterminator up to what you’ve paid.
We’re really excited by this bold confidence, lah!
Ridpest’s termite control process includes thorough inspections, installation of baiting systems, and consistent monitoring, with payment options in full or easy instalments.
However, some past clients we chatted with voiced concerns about occasional poor communication with technicians, which allegedly led to the incorrect use of methods when it should not have been the case.
Since these are from the past, we’re confident that Ridpest has improved staff training.
Not pushing to close a sale
“Professional, punctual, friendly and knowledgeable rep. Rahman assisted me wrt termite issue. He shared a lot of new knowledge within that short 15 minute site visit.
I like it that ridpest are not aggresively pushing to close sale. They allow client to decide appointment and package at own pace. Very mindful 👍 Recommended!”

3. Pest React

Business hours:
- Monday to Friday – 8:30 AM to 6:00 PM
- Saturday – 8:30 AM to 1:00 PM

Selangor’s Pest React may only have been around since 2018, but its founder Mr Kelvin Low, brings over 21 years of hands-on experience to the table. With this, we feel assured that Pest React has reliable pest control, including effective termite treatments.
The company awed us with its wide coverage across Malaysia and even Singapore. Its pest control technicians are friendly and easy to chat with during visits.
Pest React is confident enough in its work to back it up with a five-year warranty on services, lah! You can also get termite infestation insurance through them for added peace of mind.
That said, we gathered through interviews that Pest React isn’t immune to issues. Some said that technicians arrived late or didn’t show up at all; understandable, but hopefully already remedied.
Additionally, we’d also appreciate it if Pest React publicises its MPMA membership and certifications more clearly. It’ll help build extra confidence for new customers to patronise the business.
Quick and professional response
“We surveyed a few pest control companies to quote us for general pest services. Pest React responded quickly and professionally, and a site survey was conducted just days after. Chin, the field specialist was super helpful and knowledgeable and advised us on how to deal with a pest issue with our developer. Will recommend to everyone we know.”

You don’t need to build a moat or hire a waterproofing service to ensure that termites won’t reach you from any side. You can reach out to Skill Termite Exterminator, which has been around since 2005 in eight key Malaysian cities.
Right from the start of our search, its services in the Klang Valley have impressed us a lot.
Why? Firstly, clients we’ve corresponded with told us their experience that Skill Termite’s treatments and baiting systems work really well, whether they may be in-ground, above-ground, or even in-concrete.
Moreover, this company is the only one we’ve seen that explains all its service options so clearly on its website. As customers, we love it, since we feel more educated and less in the dark on how things should work before requesting a quote.
Although Skill Termite Exterminator suffers from the same timeliness and scheduling issues as its competitors, we still appreciate its transparency on services. The company also still guarantees affordable pricing even for a comprehensive solution.
