Post-Construction Anti-Termite Treatment

After careful examination of building structure, holes should be drilled in the floor slab as possible entry points such as junctions of floor and walls, door frames, sewage lines entrance should be spotted by drilling and chemical should be injected until it floods and holes should be closed with matching materials.

Pre-Construction Anti-Termite Treatment

Stage -1 : Bottom and sides of the trenches of Foundation:

The first stage i.e Anti termite treatment to foundation is carried out after the excavation of the trenches is complete. The bottom surface and the sides (upto a height of about 1 feet) should be treated with the chemical emulsion made chemicals listed above at recommended concentrations. masonry foundations and basements should be treated with the chemical emulsion @ 5 lit. per sq. mtr of the surface area.

Stage-2 : Backfill Treatment:

After the masonry foundation treatmennt and when the retaining wall of the basements come up, the backfill in immediate contact with the foundation structure should be treated at the rate of 7.5 litre per sq. mtr. of the surface area .

Stage-3 : Wall floor Junction treatment:

It is important to establish continuity of the vertical chemical barrier on inner wall surface from ground level up to the level of the filled earth surface. To achieve this, a small channel 3 cm x 3 cm shall be made at all the wall floor junction and rod holes made in the channel up to the ground level 15 cm apart and treating it with the anti termite emulsion.

Stage-4 : Plinth Filling Treatment:

As per the Bureau of Indian standards, the top surface of the consolidated earth within plinth walls shall be treated with chemical emulsion @ 5 litres. per sq. mtr. of the surface before the stone bed or sub-grade is laid.
