In Gurugram's existing villas, builder floors and apartments, SKUAS treats termites by drilling at the floor-wall junction and plinth, injecting Envu Premise SC into the soil and sealing each hole, the method given in IS 6313 (Part 3). A building not yet past plinth stage should get reticulation instead. You get a written rate after a free inspection.
Termite work in Gurugram looks different depending on where you live. In DLF Phases 1 to 5, Sushant Lok, South City and the older HUDA sectors, many independent houses have been rebuilt as builder floors, so one plinth now carries three or four separate owners. The large villas that remain in these areas often have wooden flooring, panelled study rooms and teak door frames, and termites can reach all of these from the ground floor.
Along Golf Course Road, Sohna Road and the newer sectors, most families live in high-rise societies. Here termites tend to show up inside a single flat, in a kitchen base, a wardrobe back or the frame of a balcony door, while the rest of the tower looks clean. In every case the source is the soil under the building, so we drill along floor edges and the plinth to put Premise SC where the colony travels.
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.
Gurugram summers are long, hot and dry, and termites in the soil move toward whatever moisture they can find. Inside a house that usually means the walls around kitchens and bathrooms, AC drain lines and garden taps. Mud tubes next to a leaking pipe or a damp wall are a frequent finding here, and fixing the leak is part of the advice we give after inspection.
Research identifies Heterotermes indicola as the most important structural termite in Delhi, and a study of the arid north-west, which takes in parts of Haryana, reports it causing extensive damage to woodwork in buildings. It is a subterranean species, so it enters from the soil and works upward into frames, skirting and furniture rather than flying straight in.
When a plot is rebuilt as builder floors, the ground-floor owner lives closest to the soil, but termites can climb through shafts, staircases and wall cavities to the floors above. Treating only one floor leaves gaps along the shared plinth and staircase. Where owners agree, we treat the plinth line, stilt parking edges and staircase together, and each floor's rooms as required.
Winged termites appear in Gurugram mostly in the monsoon and post-monsoon period, after a few warm days followed by rain. They gather around lights in the evening and drop their wings within hours of landing. Wings piled on a sill or near the main door are a sign many residents notice first, and they show that an established colony is nearby.

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 SCWooden flooring, panelled rooms, staircases and teak frames, with the plinth and garden-side walls drilled after a room-by-room inspection.
Stilt parking edges, the shared staircase and each floor's kitchen and bedroom walls, planned so owners on different floors are covered together.
Kitchen, wardrobe and door-frame woodwork inside one flat, and a check of service shafts when several flats in the tower report termites.
Office floors, record and server rooms, and pantry areas where termites move along cable trays, raised floors and wooden partitions.
Gurugram jobs are handled by the team at our New Delhi head office on Okhla Road. For a builder floor we try to fix one visit date with all owners, so the stilt and staircase can be drilled while every floor is available. Society flats need a work permit from the facility office, and we can help you request it.
