What to know in Bali
- A villa pool is usually cleaned 1 to 2 times a week by a technician, who also checks the water chemistry, skimmer, filter and pump. Many villas use one person for both pool and garden.
- Many long-term rentals include pool and garden service in the rent; check your lease before hiring.
- Termites are a real risk for wooden villas and furniture in Bali. Property guides recommend regular pest inspections and a full pest control review at least once a year.
- Dengue is carried by mosquitoes in Bali. Cases from January to July 2026 fell to 1,588 from 9,116 in the same period of 2025, but authorities still ask residents to remove standing water weekly.
- Fogging by the authorities targets adult mosquitoes in public areas; at home, emptying water containers, plant saucers and gutters matters more.

How to choose
- For pool care, ask what chemicals are used and who pays for them; chlorine and other products are often billed separately.
- For termites, choose a company that does an inspection first and gives a written treatment plan and guarantee period.
- Ask your gardener to remove standing water every week: buckets, coconut shells, plant saucers and blocked gutters.
- If you rent, report pests in writing to the owner: termite damage in the structure is normally the landlord's responsibility.

Recent job offers for a full-time villa gardener and pool technician in Canggu and Bingin pay about IDR 3.5 to 5.5 million per month. Part-time visits cost less and are agreed directly.

How do I protect my villa from mosquitoes and dengue in Bali?
Remove standing water at least once a week, use screens or nets, and apply repellent, especially in the rainy season. Fogging alone is not enough, as local health authorities point out.
