Direct Answer: Termite Inspection
Termite treatment should start with confirming mud tubes, hollow timber, moisture sources and the affected area. HK Bug Buster inspects the site first, then plans phased treatment around timber, walls, cabinet bases, leaks and renovation conditions.
Warning signs
- Mud shelter tubes along skirting, door frames or pipe penetrations.
- Hollow or papery timber when gently tapped.
- Warped door frames, bubbling paint or rippled veneer.
- Winged alates indoors after humid evenings (not every flying insect is a termite—photos help).
Where we inspect
We systematically check ground-contact wood, hidden wall bases, built-in wardrobes, kitchen plinths, bathrooms with chronic condensation, and roof voids where accessible. For managed buildings we can coordinate with the management office on common risers when suspected activity spans units.
Moisture and building risk
Leaking hoses, failed waterproofing and external planter saturation are common drivers. Treating insects without reducing moisture often invites repeat pressure. We flag maintenance items you should raise with your contractor or building management.
Treatment planning
- Survey report in plain language: suspected species pattern, extent, photos.
- Options: localised treatment vs whole-area programme, with honest limits.
- Schedule: minimise disruption for occupied homes and retail.
- Re-inspection windows agreed up front.
Types of programme (high level)
Product families and registration constraints change over time; we select methods that fit Hong Kong labels, your occupancy profile and access constraints. We do not promise a fixed number of days on a website—timelines depend on construction and cooperation.
Aftercare
Wood repairs may be needed after activity stops. We separate “pest control completion” from “joinery restoration” so you can sequence contractors cleanly.
