Soil barriers and colony eradication for Malaysian termites.

Two termite species cost Malaysian homeowners more than every other pest combined: Coptotermes (subterranean) and Cryptotermes (dry-wood). Dawnplex installs proven non-repellent soil treatments, runs in-ground bait stations, and replaces compromised flooring sections with the colony already neutralised — never just the symptom.

Three termite scenarios

Different problems, different protocols.

The mistake most homeowners make is buying a uniform “termite treatment.” Termite work in Malaysia splits into three jobs — and they cost differently because they look different on day one.

Pre-construction
RM 4.50/sq ftindicative, soil rate

Soil treatment laid before the concrete slab pour. This is the cheapest moment to stop termites in a Malaysian home.

  • Trench & reticulation system option
  • Foundation soil flooded with termiticide
  • Builder-coordinated scheduling
  • 8-year written warranty

Post-construction · most common
RM 1,800from, single-storey terrace

Drill-and-inject soil barrier — the standard treatment when termites are already active or you want preventive cover on an existing house.

  • Perimeter drilling at 30 cm intervals
  • Non-repellent termiticide injection
  • Above-ground bait stations as needed
  • 8-year warranty + year 3 & 6 inspections

Active colony
From RM 2,400colony eradication

You already have mud tubes or swarming. We isolate the colony, dust it, then close the soil barrier so the next colony can’t walk in.

  • Species ID from soldiers / soil sample
  • Direct treatment of active galleries
  • Soil barrier installation included
  • Year-1 free reinspection

How the work runs over two days

Day 0: Audit

2-hour inspection — soil moisture, mud tubes, void cavities, sub-floor access. Photo log + drilling map signed off with you before quote.

Day 1: Drilling

10 mm holes every 30 cm around the slab perimeter. Dust-controlled drill collars to keep your house liveable through the day.

Day 1 cont.: Injection

Termiticide injected to soil at label rate (typically 5 L/m). Holes patched flush with cement repair plug — colour-matched where exposed.

Day 2 + months

Re-inspection at day 14 and follow-up audits at month 6, 12, year 3 and year 6. Warranty paperwork emailed within 48 hours of Day 1.

Why non-repellent?

The chemistry behind a real termite kill

Older repellent termiticides drove termites away from the soil barrier — meaning the colony lived to scout another route. Modern non-repellent actives (fipronil, chlorantraniliprole) are odour-free to the termite; workers walk through the treated zone, carry it back to the colony, and the entire population collapses over 60–90 days.

Dawnplex follows the Department of Agriculture protocol on every soil barrier — label dose, no above-label “for good measure” additions, and full chemical disclosure in your treatment certificate.

Suspect termites? Don’t treat — audit first.

Most homeowners spray something on a mud tube and create a panicked colony that splits. Let a Dawnplex technician audit before any chemical touches your house — survey is free in Klang Valley.
