For an existing home in Greater Noida or Greater Noida West, SKUAS drills along the floor-wall junction and plinth, injects Envu Premise SC into the soil and seals the holes, following the IS 6313 (Part 3) method. If your building is still under construction, a reticulation system is the better choice. We quote after a free inspection of the property.
Greater Noida is newer than Noida, but termites are already a regular complaint here. In the Alpha, Beta, Gamma and Delta sectors, independent houses built on authority plots now have woodwork that has spent years in contact with ground-floor walls and floors. In Greater Noida West, which many people still call Noida Extension, families who have moved into towers at Gaur City and the societies around it sometimes find termites in a newly fitted kitchen or wardrobe.
Large parts of Greater Noida were village fields and open land before the authority developed them, and subterranean termite colonies stay in that soil long after construction ends. In a finished home, the only way to put termiticide back into the soil is through drilled holes along the floor edges and plinth, which is what the IS 6313 (Part 3) method describes. Our part is to check which rooms are affected, which walls carry the attack and what woodwork needs separate treatment.
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 Greater Noida sectors still have vacant plots, open land along roads and patches of scrub between built-up pockets. This undisturbed ground holds termite colonies that forage into the nearest houses. Homes sharing a boundary with an empty plot or a green belt usually show mud tubes first on the side facing that land, along the plinth or behind ground-floor skirting.
Termites swarm after a few warm days followed by rain, mostly in the monsoon and post-monsoon period. In high-rise societies in Greater Noida West, residents often see winged termites around corridor and balcony lights on such evenings. Swarmers that fly in from outside are not proof of a problem in your flat, but wings found inside, near a door frame or window, point to a colony close by.
In tower societies, flats on the ground and lower floors, along with shops and the clubhouse at podium level, are closest to the soil. Termites usually reach them through floor joints, expansion joints and gaps around plumbing and cable entries. When an upper floor reports termites, we look for a route such as a service shaft, or wooden furniture brought in from an infested home.
IS 6313 records about 220 termite species in India and identifies subterranean termites as the group behind most building damage. Coptotermes heimi is widespread across the country and attacks woodwork and furniture in homes. These termites live in soil and travel through mud tubes, so the treatment has to reach the soil beneath floors rather than only the wood above it.

Tell us what you need. Our team calls back with the inspection slot and rate.
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 SCGround-floor rooms, the staircase, main door frames and the plinth line, drilled after mapping where the mud tubes start.
Kitchen, wardrobe and bedroom walls inside the flat, plus a check of common shafts if neighbouring flats report the same problem.
Wooden flooring, puja rooms, built-in storage and garden-facing walls where soil and planters meet the plinth.
Classrooms, libraries, record rooms and hostels, where termites in furniture, shelving and stored paper should be caught early.
Greater Noida and Greater Noida West are covered by our team from the New Delhi head office on Okhla Road, usually via the Noida-Greater Noida Expressway. For tower societies, please book a work slot with the maintenance office, since drilling machines and chemical containers have to come up by the service lift.
