Termite Control in Cooke Town, Bangalore

Older properties, mature trees, gardens and redevelopment activity can all create conditions for termites in this part of the city. An older house may have timber frames, ceilings and built-in cupboards that have never been treated, and a garden that runs right up to its walls.

Redevelopment brings its own concerns. When the old timber from a demolished building is left on site, or new woodwork is fitted in a building that was not protected at foundation stage, termites have an easy start. Neighbouring homes can also see more activity while nearby soil is being disturbed.

If you are replacing an older house or building a new apartment block, pre-construction anti-termite treatment is applied to the soil and foundation at specific stages of construction. It has to be scheduled with your builder or contractor, so contact us before excavation or foundation work begins. Once a building is finished, post-construction treatment is used instead.

• Ask your builder whether anti-termite treatment is included and at which stage.
• Have old timber and debris cleared from the site rather than buried or left in heaps.
• Inspect any reclaimed wood before it is reused in the new building.

• Mud tubes on the plinth, the garden side of walls or around water pipes.
• Wooden ceilings, cupboards or door frames that sound hollow or flake.
• Swollen or blistered laminate in newer kitchens and wardrobes.
• Wings near windows and lights, often after the first rains.

Independent and heritage homes are inspected from the garden edge inwards. Flats in newer apartment buildings and gated communities are inspected around their fitted woodwork, and we tell you if the source appears to be in the building. Restaurants, cafés, boutiques, clinics and small offices are checked around fixtures, fit-outs and storage.

• Residential: independent houses, heritage homes, apartments and gated communities.
• Commercial: restaurants, cafés, shops and boutiques, clinics, small offices and sites under construction.

Every job begins with an inspection. For finished buildings, treatment is applied where suitable by drilling and injecting at affected points and entry routes, along with direct treatment of the damaged woodwork. For new construction, the treatment schedule is agreed with your builder. In both cases you receive a digital service report.
