SKUAS treats termites in finished Faridabad buildings, from NIT houses to sector homes and Greater Faridabad flats, by drilling at the floor-wall junction and plinth, injecting Envu Premise SC into the soil and sealing the holes, as IS 6313 (Part 3) describes. New construction should be fitted with reticulation instead. We share the rate after a free inspection.
Faridabad's older housing tells you a lot about where termites hide. In NIT, one of the oldest parts of the city, and in early sectors such as 7, 9, 14, 15 and 16, many houses have been extended floor by floor over the years, with new rooms built against original walls and old wooden frames kept in place. The joints between old and new masonry give termites easy routes from the soil into the house.
Newer parts of the city, including Greater Faridabad across the Agra Canal and the stretch toward Ballabhgarh, are mostly group housing and builder floors. There, termites tend to appear in a flat's kitchen or wardrobe, or in ground-floor shops. Factories along Mathura Road and in the industrial sectors see termites in stores, record rooms and wooden packing material. Our drilling plan for each of these is set only after mapping where the termites are entering.
Thin tunnels of soil running up the plinth, walls, pillars or behind skirting. Subterranean termites build them to travel from the soil.
Door frames, skirting or wardrobe bases that sound hollow when tapped, or crumble at the bottom edge.
Small wings near windows, lights or door sills after warm days followed by rain. A swarm means an established colony is close by.
Tiny, dry pellets under furniture or frames point to drywood termites, which are found mainly in coastal cities.
Bubbling paint on walls or fine tunnels in wood panelling and wiring battens.
Many older Faridabad houses have rooms, floors and staircases that were added at different times. Where new masonry meets old, the joint often cracks, and termites use these cracks to climb from the plinth into frames and cupboards. During inspection we pay close attention to these joints, because a gap missed here can let termites go around the treated floor edge.
The Surajkund side of Faridabad runs along the Aravalli hills, with drier, more open ground, and summers across the city are hot. In the dry months subterranean termites stay deeper and head for damp spots such as bathroom walls, kitchen sinks and areas under water tanks. That is why a damp wall in a Faridabad house is one of the first places we inspect.
Termite swarms in Faridabad come mostly in the monsoon and post-monsoon period, after a few warm days followed by rain. Winged termites fly out of mature colonies, shed their wings and try to start new ones. Wings collected near doors, windows or lights inside the house indicate an established colony nearby, and that is the right time to book an inspection.
IS 6313 (Part 3) states that subterranean termites cause most of the damage to buildings in India. Coptotermes heimi, found across the country, is a known pest of household woodwork and furniture. Termites of this kind nest in the soil and reach wood through mud tubes, so in Faridabad the soil under the floor and along the plinth is where the treatment has to go.

For a building that is already finished, the chemical has to reach the soil under the floor and along the foundation. We follow the method set out in IS 6313 (Part 3), the BIS code for treating existing buildings. This is commonly called drill-fill-seal.
We use Envu Premise SC (imidacloprid 30.5% SC), one of the termiticides listed by CIB&RC for building termite control, mixed at the dilution on its label. It is odourless and non-repellent, so termites carry it back to the colony.
Drill-fill-seal as described above, plus treatment of affected woodwork.
A reticulation pipe system laid before the floor is cast, refillable for years without drilling.
The open floor is a chance to lay reticulation pipe along the wall lines.
If your builder laid pipes, it may only need a refill through the junction boxes.
The chemical we charge it with
Imidacloprid 30.5% SC from Envu (formerly Bayer Environmental Science). It is odourless and non-repellent: termites cannot detect it, carry it back to the nest and pass it on to the colony.
Why we use Premise SCOriginal door frames, wooden cupboards, staircases and the joints where later extensions meet old walls, drilled room by room.
Kitchen, wardrobe and bedroom walls in the flat, with lower-floor units and common shafts checked when neighbours report the same signs.
The shared plinth, stilt or ground-floor rooms and the staircase, planned with all owners so treatment does not stop at one floor.
Offices, stores, record rooms and packing areas where wooden pallets, cartons and stored paper draw termites up from the ground.
Faridabad is served from our New Delhi head office on Okhla Road, which is a short run down Mathura Road past the Badarpur border. Factory and warehouse jobs can be planned for a weekly off day or between shifts, so production areas are not disturbed while drilling is under way.
