  15. Updates slow down due to Termites issue-sianz 1/2. Town council officer and 1 from pest control came.according to tco-it's out of goodwill cos its inside my premises,TC not in charge. then pest controller start to see see look look n say heaviy infested, their limited equipment cannot help much... need more power company like aardwolf or origin to help: summary- limited free help not good enuff, need to pay extra.. So both professionals came n see..both suggested same same.. a)stop reno for 6-12 weeks, total exterminations..then continue reno b)continue reno, then do treatment. quite surprise these professionals are mostly female, one of them actually turn termite over to see if it is soldier or workers(realise that there are names for termites also)? So after discussion and talking to Origin.from their experience, hdb usually will not continue treatment(contract) after a year. So should be ok after 1 year of continuous treatment. After convincing my wifey finally, we decide to proceed with reno. 5 bedrooms(no tiles yet till spraying is done on monday afternoon) 1 week After spraying, will check that everything is good. then every 3 months, they will bring 'trained' dog to sniff(more accurate than equiment)for 1st year hopefully no need to recontract.
