3. Termite control service • We at PECOPP thoroughly inspect and recommend customised control plans to you for protection of your property from termites. We have fifty years of experience in treating more than thirty-five thousand buildings at Mumbai against termites. Our termite solutions are for pre-construction and post-construction anti-termite treatments of buildings. • Our pre-construction anti-termite treatment • We protect your home from termites through our anti-termite treatment when your building is under construction. This is when our treatment is most effective. After your building is complete and you have laid the tiles, we have limitations in creating an effective termite barrier at your home. • Pre-construction anti-termite treatment commences half a meter below the ground, is affordable and acts as a great selling point for the property’s buyers.

Termite control service • Stage 1: Treatment of top surface on plinth filling under the slab • We treat the consolidated earth with 5 litres termiticide per square metre before a construction crew lays a slab on the floor.  It is important that further construction does not disturb the anti-teremite treatment. Well-rammed soil that disallows seepage is treated with 5 to 7.5 cm deep holes of 12 mm diameter at 15 cm gap to allow saturation of the termiticide. • At PECOPP, we give our customers experience the utmost importance and offer a 60-day warranty and free follow-up visits to ensure that your problem is fully resolved.

Termite control service • Stage 2: Treatment of external perimeter • We treat the soil along the building’s internal wall with termiticide at the rate of 7.5 litres per square metre of the vertical surface of the sub-structure to 30 cm depth.  In addition, we apply termiticide to a shallow channel along the wall through a 12 mm diameter steel rod pierced to a depth of 30 cm every 15 cm to uniformly disperse the termiticide. • Stage 3: Treatment of top surface on plinth filling under the slab • We do treatment of untreated earth refill along the external perimeter of the building after completion by rodding at 15cm interval to a depth of 30 cm to expose the foundation wall surface. We pour termiticide emulsion along the wall at the rate of 7.5 litres per square metre of the vertical surface and tamp back the earth into place.

6. Termite control service • What can you do to prevent termites at your home? • Avoid moisture accumulation at the foundation of your home as water attracts termites. • Divert rainwater through functioning downspouts, gutters and splash blocks. • Ensure ventilation in crawl spaces to regulate and control humidity. • Eliminate soil contact of structural wood by keeping a gap of more than one inch between the soil and wood at your home. • Troubles termites can cause in your house! • Termites are winged insects of the insect order Isoptera and feed on decaying plant materials. Termites’ guts have a cellulose-degrading enzyme to help them feed on wood, paper, cloth, straw or any other material containing cellulose.
