Finding signs of termites in your existing home or office can be alarming. Mud tubes crawling up walls, hollow-sounding wood, or even discarded wings are clear indicators that these destructive pests have already made their way in. But don’t despair – post-construction termite treatment offers effective solutions to eradicate active infestations and establish protective barriers in existing structures.
What is Post-Construction Termite Treatment?
Unlike preventative treatments for new builds, post-construction treatment is specifically designed for buildings that are already complete, whether they have an active infestation or require a protective shield. The goal is twofold: to eliminate existing termite colonies and to create a durable barrier that prevents future re-infestations.
Our Expertise: Adhering to IS 6313 (Part 3) Standard
At Termicare Nepal, we pride ourselves on delivering professional and effective post-construction termite control. All our treatments are carried out strictly as per the IS 6313 (Part 3) Standard. This Indian Standard provides comprehensive guidelines for anti-termite measures in existing buildings, ensuring that our methods are scientifically sound, effective, and safe.
How We Tackle Termites in Existing Buildings:
Our standard-compliant treatment methods typically include:
- Drilling and Injection: This is a common and highly effective method. Our technicians will strategically drill small, unobtrusive holes into floors (e.g., along wall-floor junctions) and sometimes into wall cavities. Through these holes, we inject precise amounts of termiticide into the ground beneath the structure and into wall voids, creating a continuous chemical barrier that termites cannot penetrate.
- Perimeter Trenching: For external protection, we may dig a shallow trench around the building’s foundation. Liquid termiticide is then applied to this trench, forming an external chemical barrier that deters termites attempting to enter from the surrounding soil.
- Wood Treatment: If wooden elements within your home (such as door frames, window frames, or furniture) show signs of infestation, we apply specialized termiticides directly to these areas to eradicate active termites and protect the wood.
- Reticulation System Installation (for Ongoing Protection): For those seeking long-term and easily rechargeable protection for an existing structure, we can install a Termipore reticulation system around the perimeter. This allows for future termiticide recharges without repeated drilling, making maintenance convenient and non-disruptive, all while adhering to the standard’s guidelines for effective application.
