Termites in old timber beams, door frames and furniture, and ant trails in kitchens — inspected, treated and, where needed, the timber assessed.
Termites in Malta attack timber: the beams of old houses of character, door and window frames, skirting, built-in cupboards and furniture. The damage is often found late — a frame that crumbles when it is sanded, a beam that sounds hollow, fine wood dust or small mud-like tubes — because they eat from the inside.
An inspection judges how far it has gone. Timber that is still sound is treated; timber that has lost its strength — especially a structural beam — needs a carpenter or an engineer, not just a pest-control treatment. We tell you which, and point you to the right trade.
Ants are simpler. Trails in kitchens are treated with baits the workers carry back to the nest, which works far better than spraying the trail. Flying ants in late summer are usually a nest swarming nearby and settle on their own; a nest in the house or the garden can be treated.
A termite inspection before you buy or renovate a house of character is cheap compared with replacing beams after the ceiling is finished. If timber does have to be replaced, Carpenters.mt and Turnkey.mt are our sister sites for the joinery and the renovation.
Termite and ant treatment is priced after an inspection: how much timber is affected, or where the nest is, decides it.
| Job | Unit | Band | What is in it |
|---|---|---|---|
| Termite inspection and treatment | property | quoted on site | timber checked, treatment or replacement advised |
| Ant treatment | property | quoted on site | baits carried back to the nest |
The pest, the size of the property, how far it has spread and the number of visits decide the price. You get it in writing, VAT included, before treatment starts.
Rats in the kitchen, cockroaches before guests arrive, bed bugs found by a guest, a wasp nest by the door. Fill this in and it reaches us marked urgent. Urgent requests are called back from 07:00, or the same day in working hours. We tell you when a technician can come and what it costs — before anyone sets off.
While you wait
The price is given when we ring you back, after a few questions — before anyone sets off.
You deal with us. We arrange the inspection, choose a vetted professional pest-control company for the job — a CheckYourTraders member where there is one — and stay your point of contact through the treatment and the follow-up.
