Pest Control in Serangoon Garden

Insect activity in Serangoon Garden tracks warm weather — ants, roaches, wasps and mosquitoes peak in the warmer months. Rodent callouts spike as temperatures drop and mice and rats move indoors. Booking preventive treatment just before your problem season is cheaper than reacting to an established infestation.

For prevention, quarterly service is the industry standard — barrier treatments wear off after 60-90 days. Active infestations (roaches, mice, bed bugs) usually need visits every 2-4 weeks until cleared. Food businesses and homes backing onto woodland or water often move to monthly service.

Clear access to skirting boards, under sinks and behind appliances; store open food and utensils away; note where and when you've seen pests (photos help); secure pets and cover fish tanks. For bed bug jobs, follow the company's prep sheet exactly — bagging laundry and decluttering — or the treatment can fail.

Termites have straight antennae, a thick uniform waist, and two pairs of wings of equal length; ants have elbowed antennae, pinched waists and unequal wings. Mud tubes on foundations, hollow-sounding timber and piles of shed wings near windows point to termites — get a professional inspection quickly, since termite damage compounds.

One-time general treatment for an HDB flat runs about S$80-S$250, with follow-up packages common because cockroach and ant clearance usually takes more than one visit. Bi-monthly annual contracts for flats typically cost S$300-S$800 per year.

Yes. NEA inspects homes during dengue clusters and fines households where mosquito breeding is found — starting around S$300 for first-time domestic offences. Removing standing water is your responsibility; professional misting and larviciding is worth it mainly for landed properties with gardens.
