Sorry to hear of your fate . . . Nonetheless, more than 60% of Sp pty are infested with termites, mainly due to our weather condition, humid, moist and sunny,therefore termites loves this environment. This apply to landed, non-landed and HDB as well.
May i suggest you hired a pest-controller to check any wooden flr like parquet, wooden panel & wardrobes, once affirmation, you need to change from parquet to ceramic throughout,If the termites has infested your door-frames, it's is pretty useless to change only the affected area.
It may sounds frightening, bottom line, once you made that decision to proceed to fight them, it's worth the risk.
p/s: Termites are intelligent creature who can climb high and tall buildings like 24sty and they move in battalion formation. The pest-controller can destroy one colony in a certain area, they will come back and haunt you in 2-3months time, so to proper wipe out the colony, you need to engage Terminators on a package for 100% guranteed satisfaction.
Fought the termites and won -;)
