SKUAS treats termites in existing Jaipur buildings, from walled-city homes to houses in Mansarovar and Jagatpura, by drilling along the floor-wall junction and plinth, injecting Envu Premise SC and sealing the holes, which is the IS 6313 (Part 3) method. Houses still being built should get reticulation. After a free inspection we give you the rate.
Jaipur has two very different kinds of housing, and termites attack both. Inside the walled city and in older areas such as C-Scheme, Bani Park and Civil Lines, many homes have heavy timber doors, wooden beams, carved jharokhas and lime-plastered walls that have been in place for generations. Once termites get into that old timber, the damage can stay hidden for a long time behind plaster and paint.
The newer colonies, such as Mansarovar, Malviya Nagar, Vaishali Nagar, Jagatpura and Vidhyadhar Nagar, are mostly independent houses and apartments with modern woodwork: modular kitchens, wardrobes and wooden flooring. Here termites usually appear along the floor edge in ground-floor rooms. In both kinds of building the principle is the same: drill along the floor edges, plinth and frames, put Envu Premise SC into the soil and masonry, and seal, taking extra care around old timber.
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.
A study of termites in the arid north-west of India, which includes parts of Rajasthan, reports that Heterotermes indicola causes extensive damage to woodwork in buildings. It is a subterranean termite, so it reaches doors, frames and beams from the soil through mud tubes and hidden cracks rather than flying straight into the wood. Treating the soil under floors and walls cuts off that route.
Jaipur summers are long and very dry. Through the heat, termite colonies stay deep in the ground and come up where they find moisture, which inside a house means bathrooms, kitchens, the area around water tanks and walls with leaking pipes. A damp patch at the base of a wall is often where we find the first mud tubes in a Jaipur home.
Older Jaipur homes often have thick stone or brick walls laid in lime mortar, with wooden lintels, beams and frames set deep inside them. Termites can travel through voids in this masonry without leaving a visible trail. IS 6313 (Part 3) deals with walls by treating the masonry at plinth level, and on old walls we do this with care so the plaster is not disturbed more than needed.
Jaipur gets most of its rain in the monsoon months, and termite swarms follow the pattern IS 6313 describes: a few warm days followed by rain, in the monsoon or post-monsoon period. Winged termites crowd around lights and leave their wings on floors and sills. Finding those wings indoors means a colony has been living near the house for some time.

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 SCOld timber doors, beams, jharokhas and frames set in thick walls, inspected closely before any drilling near fragile plaster.
Ground-floor rooms, kitchens, wardrobes and the plinth line in Mansarovar, Malviya Nagar, Vaishali Nagar and similar areas.
Kitchen and wardrobe walls inside the flat, with lower floors and shafts checked when the building has a wider problem.
Rooms with wooden furniture and panelling, stores and record rooms, planned so guest areas and offices are worked on in phases.
For Jaipur, our central team travels from New Delhi for scheduled treatments; we plan visits in advance. Send us photos of the damage and your locality when you call, so we can fix an inspection date. Where the inspection and treatment can be done on the same trip, we confirm the equipment and chemical quantity beforehand.
