why let them make decision ? i thought it has not much thing to do with them right ? anyway i did ask my left and right, my left side is a rented unit so they dunno anything if there owner done any preventive or what, but right side already done termite drilling when they move in... so ??       

I agreed on Rentokill, as no point you doing now which only concentrate on one area which you will remove and replaced with Concrete, and will move to other place when reno start.
What you could do now is go hardware shop and buy the termite killer which cost RM80 and spray around your staircase and area around, or could spray the whole house if not one around. This will kill those termite if they can out. You also should inform your contractor to spray those wood when they start doing reno on your staircase so that they can’t ran anyway.
During the reno, you could ask them to spray around the house / roof area to prevent termite coming, or get the termite system in place.

my house timber flooring staircase is also infected with termites, even though not as serious as kelvin. a piece of timber strip and a few strips of side skirting were infected. i bought thermifos from hardware shops and sprayed the side skirting and infected area. so far there has been no sight of termites or any further infection. i've checked other upstairs rooms/cupboards/downstairs store room and all seems clean. i've tried to have a quick view from the manhole on the roof beams and it seems clean from the manhole (didnt climb up the beams to check each beam).

the infection started just after the 5 yrs termite infection warranty provided by the developer expired. so now, question is should i proceed with further termite infection control, possibly from stoppest (due to good service for pjusa) or should i wait until there's further infection? i have yet to repair the damage done by the termites.

appreciate your feedback on what's the appropriate measure i should take. i'm living in the house now.

PS: pjusa, appreciate it if you could give contacts for stoppest. thanks.

Hi Kelvin,

For stoppest. the drilling is on the staircase or outdoor?

wow...that means all your floor tiles will be drilled? that's almost impossible to be done if you are staying in i guess.

how big is per drill hole? if it's few mm, possible to hide it with fillings....but any larger will be very unsightly.

so what is other option that other house owner who stayed in the same house which is infected with termites?

i dont think any stayed-in owner can accept their floors being punched 30mm every 3ft.

bait system no need to punch holes? then how to bait?
