What anay does to a Philippine home
Subterranean termites are active year-round in Metro Manila. Colonies live in the soil, travel up through slab cracks and utility penetrations, and eat cellulose from the inside out — so the skirting looks perfect until the day it collapses under a thumb.
Most owners find them after the damage is structural: hollow door jambs, sagging ceiling boards, or a swarm of winged alates after the first heavy rain. A termite inspection catches it while the repair bill is still small.
What our termite control service includes
Moisture readings, mud-tube tracing and probing of skirting, ceilings, door frames and wooden fixtures.
Perimeter trenching plus drill-and-inject along the slab, creating a treated zone the colony cannot cross.
In-ground stations dosed with a growth regulator that workers carry back to the queen. Monitored monthly.
Soil treatment before the slab pour for new builds, with certification for turnover and bank requirements.
Why a termite exterminator beats DIY
Hardware-store sprays and gamot sa anay remedies kill the workers you can see. The colony sits metres away in the soil and re-routes around the treated spot within days.
Professional treatment targets the colony and leaves a barrier that keeps working for years — with a written guarantee and a report you can show a buyer or a bank.
Priced on perimeter length, slab area and whether baiting is included. Pre-construction work is quoted separately.
How the service runs
See the full process, prep and re-entry times →Probing, moisture readings and mud-tube tracing back to the entry point. Findings given verbally before we leave.
Perimeter length, method, product and whether baiting is included. Nothing charged if you decline.
Perimeter trenching, then drilling and injecting every 30cm along the slab. Each hole sealed with cement.
We re-probe and check the stations. A second report follows — proof for a buyer, bank or turnover file.
Drilling is loud and dusty. You can stay in the house, but expect to be out of the treated room until the injection points are sealed and dry — usually the same afternoon.
Questions we get asked
How much does termite treatment cost in the Philippines?
For a typical Metro Manila home, expect ₱1,700 to ₱35,000 depending on perimeter length and whether you need a full soil barrier or spot treatment. The inspection is free and the quote is fixed before work starts.
How long does termite treatment take?
Most residential soil treatments are completed in a single visit of two to five hours. Baiting systems are installed in one visit, then monitored monthly until the colony is confirmed dead.
Do I need to move out during termite treatment?
No. Soil treatment and baiting are done with you at home. The drilling is noisy, and you should stay out of the room being treated until the injection points are sealed and dry.
Often booked with this
Termites sit outside the general plan, but most households book both — one for the structure, one for everything else.
Winged ants and swarming anay look almost identical. If the wings were even, it is termites.
Severe structural infestations sometimes need sealed treatment rather than a barrier alone.
