been carried out with the anti termite emulsion , laying of
PCC should start only when the chemical emulsion has been
thoroughly absorbed by the soil.

The pre construction termite control method primarily

comprises of Four major stages. Apart from these four major
Pre treatment stages the Bureau of Indian standards
recommend two minor stages which are optional and left to
the choice of homeowners. Termite being a soil pest, all four
major recommended stages of the treatment are applied in

the soil of the building. As per Bureau of Indian standards
,Major stages of termite protection for a new home are as
depicted below.

i). Bottom and Sides of Trenches of Foundation

ii). Back ll in Immediate Contact with Foundation .

iii). Junction of Wall and Floor.

iv).Top Surface of Plinth Filling

v).External Perimeter of Building.

Termite treatment of back ll

Stage -1

Bottom and sides of the trenches of Foundation

The rst 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

Back ll Treatment

After the masonry foundation treatmennt and when the

retaining wall of the basements come up, the back ll 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

www.cpcindia.in/blog/how-to-prevent-and-treat-termites-for-new-construction/ 5/12
9/16/2020 Pre construction termite treatment |

Wall oor 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 lled earth surface. To achieve this, a small channel 3
cm x 3 cm shall be made at all the wall oor 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.

Stage-5

External perimetre Treatment

After the completion of the building, the soil along the

external perimeter of the building should be rodded at
intervals of 15 cm and to a depth of 30 cm. By the forward
and and backward movement of steel rod break up the soil
and anti termite chemical be poured along the wall at the
rate of 7.5 litres per sq. mtr. of the vertical surface area. This
forms a chemical barrier for termites in soil.

The stages mentioned above are the major stages are very
important and essential to Prevent and Treat   Termites in
New Construction. However there are minor and
miscellaneous stages also which should also be attended to
make the building completely termite proof . These
miscellaneous stages are as depicted below.

www.cpcindia.in/blog/how-to-prevent-and-treat-termites-for-new-construction/ 6/12
9/16/2020 Pre construction termite treatment |

Soil treatment for pre construction termite treatment

i).Expansion joints :- Expansion joints at the lower most oor

level are one of the most common entry points for termites
envasion. The perforated soil under these joints should be
thoroughly treated @ 2 litres per linear metre. This is an
important component of pre slab termite treatment.

ii). Sanitary/plumbing inlet and outlet points :- The entry and

exit points of waste and fresh water pipes are one of the
most vulnerable areas. Special care should be taken around
these areas as due to the constant moisture source these
areas always remain prone to termite envasion. These areas
should be liberally impregnated with anti termite emulsion
by the method of spraying and injecting.

iii). Electric conduits sites :- The electric conduits can prove to

be easy path ways for the termite invasion. The termites use
electric conduits as runways to move from one part of the
building to the another or from one oor to another oor.
Therefore the treatment of electric conduits and channels
remain an integral part of pre treatment for termites. To
impede the termite penetration from these points , once the
channels in the walls have been excavated for the placement
of electric pipes , these channels should be liberally treated
with the chemical emulsion . Once treated electric conduit
network can safely be laid.

Deviation from standard Anti termite treatment practices.


When we get call and we visit our customers construction
site in Delhi, Gurgaon , Noida and other NCR regions, we nd
that the building in question is already in half way of the
construction stage.
www.cpcindia.in/blog/how-to-prevent-and-treat-termites-for-new-construction/ 7/12
9/16/2020 Pre construction termite treatment |

Due lack of awareness among masses and the pressures on

the part of the builder to complete the construction, the
important stages of pre treat are overlooked in some cases.
  Sometimes the builders pass on the responsibility of   anti
termite treatment to the prospective owners. Therefore , very
often property owners call us when the slabs of all the oors
have been casted and walls being erected. Which means the
rst three stages of pre construction treatment has been
missed. In such cases, rst it is essential to identify and
decide which  treatment stage is feasible and how to achieve
it more effectively.

It is essential that site incharge should cooperate with

treatment team as often when the site is offered it is not t
for the treatment. Clearance of wall oor junction for proper
treatment and removing the construction material from
inside the building become essential to enable the termite
treatment team to carry out operation effectively.

New construction termite treatment cost

For buildings under construction   the whole process of pre-

construction termite  control requires frequent visits from the
termite treatment company, which adds to the cost.
Sometimes   property owners nd variation when they try to
get quote for complete pre construction anti termite
treatment. So here we try put ballpark gure about cost of
anti termite treatment for new construction.

Assuming that the the treatment is carried out using

recommended chemicals of standard brands like Bayer, FMC
and Tata Chemiclas, the cost of treatment can range any
where between Rs. 95/- to 125/- per sq. mtr. of the built up
area if you hire a professional company. These pre
construction termite treatment rates are inclusive of all the
four major stages as mentioned above. However for the minor
or miscellaneous stages the cost of treatment is extra. These 
treatment charges are applicable especially in Delhi, Gurgaon
Noida and northen part of India , where the soil is alkaline
and alluvial and average moisture content is not high. These
kind of soil yields better absorption of termiticide solution.
www.cpcindia.in/blog/how-to-prevent-and-treat-termites-for-new-construction/ 8/12
9/16/2020 Pre construction termite treatment |

This cost of termite control for new construction may vary in

other regions of India who have different soil texture or
variation in other inputs like quality and availability of
termite control chemical, taxes, labour cost, wages and
transportation etc.

Treatment Warranty

If the Termite Pretreatment for New Construction is carried

out according to above mentioned procedure and all
recommended speci cations are followed, one can expect a
comprehensive warranty of ve years against subterranean
termites . In India , earlier Termite control companies used to
offer longer warranty periods for buildings under
construction  . But in those days , Pre construction termite
control service control providers  were allowed to use
stronger and toxic chemicals.  In the recent past , due to
health and environment concerns  many toxic chemicals have
been banned in India and the warranty periods have been
shortened.

Now a days by paying marginally extra cost , some companies

offer insurance cover against termite loss and all
damages/repair cost ,in case of re-occurance during warranty
period, are payable by the treatment providing companies. In
the case of renewals of termite protection plan after the
expiry of warranty period, homeowners get good discounts as
well. A professional Pre construction termite treatment
company may carry out interim inspections during the
contract period so that warranty is honoured and any termite
infestation is nipped in the bud.

Other Treatment Options

For New Construction termite Treatment a latest technology

that is gaining popularity among home users, builders and
architects is Reticulation Termite treatment. Anti termite

reticulation treatment is a procedure that is carried out
during the advance stage of Pre construction. It involves
laying of a network of porous tubing all along the oor
before the marble or oor tiles are xed. The two ends of

chemical recharge in future. In my next blog I shall discuss
the technical and commercial details about this Reticulation
termite control method. It is a unique termite treatment
method for new construction and also known as underground
piping method.
