SKUAS treats termites in finished Noida houses, flats and offices by drilling small holes along the floor-wall junction and the plinth, injecting Envu Premise SC into the soil below and sealing each hole, as IS 6313 (Part 3) sets out. Buildings still at plinth stage are better served by a reticulation pipe system. The rate is given after a free inspection.
In Noida, termite calls usually come from two kinds of homes. Plotted houses in sectors such as 15, 19, 26 and 30 often still have their original wooden door frames, skirting and staircase panelling, and termites work up through the ground floor into them. In society flats along the Expressway and in Noida Extension, the first sign is usually a modular kitchen base or a built-in wardrobe that has gone soft at the bottom edge, most often on a ground or lower floor.
In a finished building the floor cannot be lifted, so the chemical has to be placed in the soil through drilled holes along the walls, the plinth and the woodwork that touches them. Most of our effort in a Noida home goes into finding where termites are getting in: a shared wall with the next plot, a crack along a floor joint, a planter box against an outside wall or a cable duct in the society basement. Once those entry points are mapped, the drilling plan for each room follows from them.
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 Noida residents first notice termites when winged swarmers gather around balcony lights on a humid evening after rain. IS 6313 (Part 3) describes swarming during the monsoon or post-monsoon period, after a few warm days followed by rain. A heap of shed wings on a window sill or in a stairwell means a mature colony is living close by, usually in the soil under or beside the building.
Noida sectors are laid out around parks, green belts and tree-lined service roads. Unpaved soil, tree roots and fallen wood next to a boundary wall give subterranean termites a steady food source just a few metres from the house. Ground-floor rooms that face a park or green belt are where we most often find mud tubes on the plinth and behind skirting.
Flats in Noida societies are often handed over bare and then fitted with modular kitchens, wardrobes, wall panelling and wooden flooring. Termites that enter through a floor joint or a wall crack can reach this woodwork without being seen, because it is fixed tight against the wall. When we inspect a flat, we pull out kitchen drawers and open wardrobe bases to check the hidden side.
IS 6313 notes that about 220 termite species occur in India and that subterranean termites cause most damage to buildings. In neighbouring Delhi, research identifies Heterotermes indicola as the most important structural termite. Subterranean species nest in the soil and build mud tubes to reach wood above ground, which is why treatment in Noida concentrates on the soil under floors and along the foundation.

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, staircase woodwork, door frames and the plinth along shared walls, treated room by room after a full inspection.
Kitchen and wardrobe walls, door frames and floor joints inside the flat, with tower-level treatment discussed with the RWA where needed.
Larger floor areas with wooden flooring, home libraries and built-in storage, mapped and drilled in sections so the family can keep using the house.
Office floors, record rooms, stores with cartons and pallets, and server rooms where termites can move along cable trays and false flooring.
Noida jobs are scheduled from our New Delhi head office on Okhla Road. Most flats are finished in a single visit, while plotted houses and villas may need a second day depending on the number of rooms and the amount of woodwork. For society flats, tell the facility office in advance so our team and equipment are let in without delay.
