Mont Kiara, Sri Hartamas and Damansara Heights are dominated by condominiums and high-end landed homes, with new towers and renovation projects constantly under way and strict management rules on contractors and working hours.
What we usually see in Mont Kiara
Cockroaches and bed bugs in condos
In condominiums, cockroaches travel between units through refuse chutes, pipe shafts, and shared walls, and bed bugs often arrive with luggage or second-hand furniture. Treating one unit works best when neighbours and management know about it.
Ants, cockroaches, and garden mosquitoes
In newer terraces and semi-detached houses, most calls are about ants in the kitchen, cockroaches coming up through floor traps, and mosquitoes breeding in gardens, gutters, and potted plants.
Soil treatment before new builds and extensions
Where new houses and extensions are going up, anti-termite soil treatment is done before the ground slab is cast. It has to be timed with the contractor, because it cannot be added the same way once the floor is poured.
Gardens, timber, and termite checks
Larger homes with gardens, timber decks, and built-in woodwork need regular termite inspections, and leafy streets mean more mosquito breeding spots and wasp nests under the eaves.
