How Anti-Termite Treatment Works
Let’s break it down in the simplest way: Termites travel from soil → walls → wood. Anti-termite treatment blocks this route by creating a chemical shield.
This shield becomes a barrier that termites cannot cross. They touch the treated area → die. Or avoid the area → stay out. Either way, the home stays protected.
Step-by-Step Process of Anti-Termite Treatment (Drill–Fill–Seal)
This is EXACTLY what technicians do in Hyderabad homes:
1. Inspection
Experts check: Mud lines, Damaged wood, Moisture areas, Wall-floor joints.
2. Drilling
Technicians drill: 8–12mm holes, Every 1–2 feet, Along all wall-floor edges. Drilling allows the chemical to reach deep areas where termites live.
3. Chemical Injection
Chemicals like: Imidacloprid, Fipronil, Chlorpyrifos are injected at high pressure so they spread inside the wall and flooring.
4. Wooden Furniture Treatment
Spray + drill method is used for: Wardrobes, Beds, Door frames, Kitchen wood.
5. Sealing Holes
