Record what you have noticed
Write down the room, date and exact location of the finding. Take a close photograph and a wider view showing the surrounding area, where you can do so safely. Keep previous inspection or treatment records. Describe what is visible, such as a raised brown trail beside a door frame, without presenting an unconfirmed pest name as a diagnosis.
Make a simple observation record
Record: what you saw, where you saw it, when you first noticed it and whether it has changed. If material has been removed or sprayed, tell the inspecting business what changed and when.
Describe access limits
Tell the business which rooms or fittings are involved and which areas you cannot safely reach. Ask what access its assessment needs rather than dismantling fixed fittings to complete a checklist.
Agree what the inspection covers
Before arranging an inspection independently, ask which parts of the property it covers, whether there is a fee and what record you will receive. Ask the business to distinguish confirmed findings, suspected evidence and areas it could not inspect. A photograph or a page on this website cannot establish the full extent of a problem.
Compare the same written scope
Give each business the same property description, observations and access limits. Compare the proposed work boundary, visits, follow-up, total payable amount, exclusions and renewal charges. If proposals differ, ask which finding or assumption explains the difference before comparing the headline amounts.
A useful comparison example
An initial visit followed by separately charged checks is a different purchase from a programme that includes those checks. Ask both businesses for a total covering the same agreed work and period.
Keep the provider’s terms
Confirm the business named on the quotation, who performs the work and what any warranty actually provides. Keep the proposal and visit records so later questions can refer to the agreed scope.
Read public prices in context
The pricing guide records two businesses’ advertised termite figures, checked on 19 October 2026. These examples do not cover a matched property or establish a Singapore-wide average. Use them to identify missing quotation details, rather than assuming a displayed amount is the price for your home.
Understand the website’s role
SG Pest Control is an information website. No provider is appointed, and this website does not accept enquiries or bookings. To arrange an inspection or work independently, contact a business you choose and confirm its identity, assessment scope and written terms.
