Pest Contro Pattaya

[Naam]

facts:

-landscaping company detected (they claim) subterranean termites around my foundations when putting ground cover around my house. instead of informing me immediately -enabling me to have a look- they told me weeks later.

-gardener showed me a couple of days ago some eaten up trunks of Bougainvillae, plants are drying up.

-called pest control company (farang owned) to take a look. they showed me some tiny insects (less than 1mm length) and shouted "TERMITES!".

-i asked "how much?"

-after long calculations the answer was "16,900 Baht at least twice a year".

having lived many years in termite infested Florida this quote seems a "wee bit" overboard.

any advice from fellow TV-members highly appreciated.

To fight termites I paid 8000 Baht for one year. My house is a two storey fifteen year old detected house on about 400 sqm of land. I am sorry to hear you have the problem too. I am in Chalong.

did the service you got solve the problem Franz?

The company worked on this only since two months. It could not be solved until now. I have too many things around in the house which accumulated living here 13 years. The termites got into boxes, they like to eat carton. This will be a job for me and them, hopefully we can get rid some time.

Dial 038713243 and ask for Andy... he does a good job at my place. Uses some non toxic formula so you don’t get killed yourself and all wildlife around, just the termites.
