Common Questions

What certifications should a pest control company have in Malaysia? expand_more
In Malaysia, legitimate pest control companies must hold a PAL (Pest Control Operator Licence) or APAL (Authorised Pest Control Operator Licence) issued by Jabatan Pertanian. Technicians should also be trained and certified. For commercial clients, verify that the company can provide documentation supporting HACCP, MOH, and ISO compliance requirements.
How much does pest control cost in Malaysia? expand_more
Pest control costs vary based on property size, pest type, infestation severity, and treatment method. Residential general pest control typically ranges from RM150–400 per treatment. Commercial contracts depend on facility size and risk level. Termite treatments range from RM1,500 for localized treatment to RM8,000+ for whole-structure protection. Request a site survey for accurate pricing.
How often should pest control be done? expand_more
For most Malaysian properties, quarterly treatments (every 3 months) provide effective ongoing protection. High-risk commercial premises like restaurants and food factories may require monthly visits. Termite protection systems are monitored quarterly with annual inspections. One-time treatments address immediate infestations but don't prevent re-infestation.
Is pest control safe for pregnant women and infants? expand_more
Professional pest control can be conducted safely around pregnant women and infants with proper precautions. Inform your technician about pregnancy or infants in the household. They can select low-toxicity treatments, adjust application methods, and provide specific re-entry guidance. Smart options are available for sensitive situations.
What should I look for when choosing a pest control company? expand_more
Choose a pest control company with valid PAL/APAL licensing, experienced technicians, clear service contracts, proper insurance, and positive reviews. For commercial clients, verify their experience with your industry and ability to provide compliance documentation. Request a detailed quote and treatment plan before committing.
