Termite

This is silent enemy enters building/structures from below the ground level. Perforating the foundation, It finds its way to upper levels by moving through wall cavities, joints and floors. It moves through enter spaces of brick and stone work in composite and masonry foundations, penetrate concrete slab-in –grade constructions and RCC columns and beams. The steel used in RCC rusts during the curing period and provides excellent tunnel space for termites, facilitating their entry to upper floors. Termites are reported to even crack to beams to get to the wooden part of the roof. To detect termite activity, look for swarms galleries in wood , mud tubes, soil passages and areas close to light sources in  buildings. Especially during spring and autumn.

 Termite damage to your valuable possessions like costly wooden-work and furniture, clothes, books, important documents, priceless painting- for that matter any thing that has a cellulose base. They also ruin lawns and garden. Termite treatment methods are :-

(a) Pre-Construction Termite Treatment

 (b) Post-Construction Termite Treatment

                             (c) Soil Treatment.

Anti-Termite Treatment:-
Chemical emulsion apply at follwing stages:-

Stage A :- Treat the bottom surface and sides of the excavation made for column pits. Wall trenches per square feet area.
Stage B :- Treat the refill earth on both sides of all build-up walls (approximate width 30cm ) and depth 45cm of vertical surface of substructure.
Stage C :- Treat the entire leveled surface (before laying the floor) .in case of RCC framed struture with columns and plinth beams and RCC basement, the treatment can starts at a depth of 50cm below ground level.

Stage D :-The treatment along the external & internal walls of entire building below concrete and masonry apron & soil under existing floor using chemical emulsion at per square feet including drilling & plugging hole as per standard norms. Our squad will drill the hole, both side or existing wall. We will drill the holes every one square feet on the inside building & out side plinth area. We will close all the holes at floor area. All plinth area spray by our chemical emulsion before laying floor.

Stage E:- Treatment inside the building by chemical emulsion (in oil/kerosene base solution) on all wodden work all the wooden work in twice time as per standard norms& all walls spray by chemical emulsions. We close the holes by white cement.

 

Anti-termite treatment:- Chemical emulsion apply at follwing stages:-

A)External treatment

MASONARY FOUNDATIONS

Dig shovel width trenches along the external wall of the building exposing the foundation wall surfaces 50cm deep holes, all along this trench and pour chemical emulsion.

Treat the back fill earth with chemical emulsion to the trench directing the spry towards the wall surface. If there is a concrete or masonry apron around the building, drill 12mm holes as close as possible to the plinth wall and pump chemical emulsion to soak the soil linear meter..

B) Internal treatment

TREATMENT OF SOIL UNDER FLOORS

Soil below and opening the floor is to be charged with the chemical so as to deny access to termite.
Drill 12mm holes at the junction of floor and wall, along cracks on the floor and along constructional joints to reach the soil below and seal the hole properly.
WOOD WORK TREATMENT

The existing wooden fixtures in the building, which are in contact with the floor or the walls and which are infested by the termites will be treated by drilling 6 mm at an angle of 45 degrees at the junction of wood work and masonry and squirting the chemical emulsion in the holes till refusal or to a maximum of half liter per hole.
