Sentul grew around the old railway workshops and still has older terraces and shophouses, while Sentul East and Sentul West are being redeveloped with condominium towers and new commercial blocks.
What we usually see in Sentul
Termites in older roofs and door frames
Houses from the 1960s to 1980s often still have timber roof trusses, wooden door frames, and built-in cabinets that termites feed on. Mud tubes along walls, hollow-sounding skirting, or wings near windows after rain are the usual first signs.
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.
Restaurants and shop-office rows
Busy food and shop-office rows share back lanes, grease traps, and bins, so cockroaches and rats move between units. Food businesses usually need scheduled treatment with service records.
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.
