Termites
Termites are known as “silent destroyers” because they can cause serious structural damage without you even noticing. If you’re a homeowner, hotel operator, or building contractor in Nepal, understanding how termites behave—and how to stop them—is essential.
At Termicare Nepal, we answer hundreds of termite-related questions. Below are the most common termite FAQs to help you protect your property in Bharatpur, Chitwan, and across Nepal.
What are termites?
Termites are small, ant-like insects that feed on cellulose materials such as wood, paper, and cardboard. They live in colonies and can silently destroy wooden structures, furniture, doors, and even books.
Are termites dangerous?
Yes. Termites don’t bite humans, but they can cause severe damage to homes, hotels, and wooden furniture. Left untreated, termite damage can cost thousands of rupees in repairs.
How can I tell if my home has termites?
Common signs of termite infestation include:
- Mud tunnels on walls or floors
- Hollow-sounding wood when tapped
- Discarded wings near windows or lights
- Cracked or bubbling paint
- Small piles of wood powder (frass)
What attracts termites to my home?
- Moisture or water leakage
- Wood-to-ground contact
- Untreated wooden furniture or beams
- Poor ventilation and damp corners
Do termites only attack old buildings?
No. Termites can infest new buildings too—especially if there was no anti-termite treatment during construction. That’s why post-construction treatment is critical.
What is anti-termite treatment?
Anti-termite treatment is the process of applying termiticides to the soil, walls, or wood surfaces to kill and prevent termites. It can be done before or after construction.
What are the types of anti-termite treatments?
- Pre-Construction Treatment – Done before the building is built
- Post-Construction Treatment – Applied to existing buildings with infestation or risk
- Termite Reticulation System – A permanent pipe system installed in new buildings for long-term termite control
Are anti-termite chemicals safe?
Yes. At Termicare Nepal, we use government-approved, odorless, and eco-safe chemicals like:
- Premise 30.5 SC
- Fipronil
- Biflex TC
They are safe for children, pets, and the environment when applied professionally.
How long does termite treatment last?
Typically, 3 to 5 years, depending on the property type and condition. We offer a 5-year warranty on treated homes.
Can I do termite treatment myself?
DIY methods may offer temporary relief but don’t eliminate the colony. Professional treatment ensures complete control using the right chemicals, tools, and methods.
How much does termite treatment cost in Nepal?
Prices vary by size and infestation level. For example:
- Small Home: Rs. 5,000 – Rs. 10,000
- Medium Home: Rs. 12,000 – Rs. 20,000
- Large Properties/Hotels: Quotation on inspection
