Termites are also called as white ants and they are hidden enemies. Termites always search for food. If they come across your home’s foundation while foraging, they will follow any cracks or crevices into your home.

They can enter through wood in direct contact with soil or by building pencil-sized mud tunnels from ground level to where the house’s wood frame starts. Termites damage your home by eating the soft grain of wood and leaving timbers with layered tunnels inside a thin shell.

The time required for serious damage by termites depends on the species, colony size, wood condition and level of moisture. If you find any termite infestation, we suggest you to take treatment sooner than later. Because it is important to avoid costly damage and repairs.

How termites find their way in to buildings?

• Through cracks and crevices in masonry, junction of wall and floor.
• through expansion joints, utility and plumbing openings in the foundation.
• Through electrical conduits, water supply, sanitary service lines.
• Through A.C points and lifts.
• Termites need a tiny gap of even 0.5 mm width to enter the buildings.

Survival of termites

Food: Cellulosic materials like buried construction debris, garden waste and damp furniture.

Shelter : Soil (moisture), damp wood, dry wood, cracks in masonry, sunken floors, and dark storage.

Water : Damaged gutter environment, down pipes, pipe leaks, roof leaks, A/C on condensation etc.

Why termite play vital role in pest control industry?

Damage in all areas like agriculture, residential and commercial establishments. Crores of money lost due to termite attack. Damage problems are like carpet damage, interior damage, curtain damage, electrical board damage, currency notes damage, Photo albums, cable damage, doors and window damage.

How to identify termite infestation?

• Pressence of mud wall tubes
• Hallow sound on tapping
• Swarms of winged reproductive flying from soil
• Discarded wings
• Pressence of mounds

Control measures

1. Pre- Construction Anti Termite Treatment
   Preventive measure at construction stage
2. Post- construction Anti Termite Treatment
   Existing building

Pre –Construction Anti Termite Treatment
(Preventive measure at construction stage)

If you are planning to construct any building for residential, office and commercial, one should think about Anti-Termite treatment first as a preventive measure. Because prevention is always better than cure.
We do highly professional for this treatment. We do the treatment by type of foundation and soil condition.

We do the treatment as per IS 6313 part II specifications.

1. Horizontal barrier

• Foundation trench treatment
• Top surface of soil filling in plinth
  @ 5 lit per sq.mt.

2. Vertical barrier

• Vertical backfill treatment up to 50 cm below ground level
  @ 7.5 lit per sq.mt
• Junction of wall and floor treatment
  @ 7.5 lit per sq.mt
• Exterior perimeter treatment
  @ 2.25 lit per linear meter or 7.5 lit per sq.mt

We take special care while Treatment of soil surrounding plumbing pipes, electrical cable and conduits

Post- Construction Anti Termite Treatment
(Treatment for Existing buildings)

We do the treatment as per IS 6313 part III specifications.

1. External perimeter treatment
   (Treatment along outside of foundations)
   
   If there is a concrete or masonry apron around the building, we drill approximately 12 mm diameter holes close to the plinth wall about 300 mm apart. Chemical will be pumped in to these holes @2.25 lit per linear meter
2. Junction of floor and wall
   (Treatment of soil under floors)
   
   We do drill 45◦ angle vertically 12 mm holes at the junction of floor and walls, constructional and expansion joints at 300 mm interval. Then chemical will be pumped.
3. Wooden fixtures in contact with wall and floor
   (Treatment at points of contact of woodwork)
   
   All existing woodwork in the building which is in contact with the floor or wall which is infested by termite will be treated by spraying chemical. We do drill 6 mm holes at the junction of woodwork and masonry and then chemical will be pumped.
4. Treatment of electrical fixtures will be treated with chemical powders
