Termite Pest Control in Ghatkopar

How to check for termites today

Take a torch and look at the back of your cupboards and along door frames. Termites live in the soil or in damp spots and build thin mud tubes to get to wood without coming into the open. Most people find them only after the damage has been going on for some time.

• Thin lines of mud going up a wall or a door frame.
• Wood that sounds empty when you tap it, or breaks at the corner.
• Books, files or clothes eaten along the side that touches the wall.
• Small wings on a window sill after rain. Keep one to show the technician, because flying ants look almost the same.

Termites in Ghatkopar buildings

Termites need damp and they need something to eat. Older buildings in Pant Nagar and around Golibar Road can have damp walls and old wooden frames. In society flats in Garodia Nagar or near Vallabh Baug Lane, it is often a built-in cupboard against an outside wall. In the West towers, a new flat is not automatically safe, since wooden furniture can be damaged when moisture gets into a wall behind it.

If termites are coming from a shared wall or from the soil, one flat alone may not be enough. Your society can ask us to look at the whole line of flats, and we give one written quote for it. Godowns and units on LBS Marg can also ask, because stored cartons and pallets are food for termites too.

On the day of the visit

The technician first checks how far the damage goes, then shows you where the drilling will be and how much dust to expect. Clear furniture from those walls if you can. Children and pets should stay away from the work area while drilling and injecting are going on. The area is cleaned up when the work is finished.

• What is the starting price for termite treatment in Ghatkopar?

  It starts at ₹2,500. Your figure depends on which treatment you need and how much wall, floor or wood is involved. The inspection is free, and you get the quote in writing before any drilling starts. East and West pay the same rate, with nothing added for the trip.

• How many holes will you drill in my flat?

  It depends on how long the affected wall or floor line is, so nobody can give a number before seeing it. The holes run along that line, because the chemical has to reach the colony. The technician shows you where they will go first, and the area is cleaned before leaving.

• How many years does anti-termite treatment work?

  Soil treatment for a new building can last 5 to 7 years. Post-construction treatment in a flat usually lasts 3 to 5 years with proper care. Either way your warranty is 5-year, with free yearly inspections, so if termites come back during that time you call us and we check.

• Is deemak the same thing as white ants?

  Yes. Deemak, white ants and termites are names for the same insect, though it is not really an ant. It eats wood, paper and some cloth, and it builds thin mud tubes as it moves. Keep one of the small wings, or a photo of the mud line, to show us.

• My books and files were eaten near the wall. Could that be termites?

  It could be. Termites eat paper as well as wood, and they usually reach it from a damp wall behind. Look for mud on the back of the shelf. If the damage is small holes and yellow stains with no mud, it may be silverfish, so show the technician which pages were hit.

• We are building a shop in Ghatkopar. When should soil treatment be done?

  Before the plinth and floor are finished, because the barrier has to go into the soil under the structure. Call 80979 41077 while the foundation work is still going on, so the visit can be planned around your contractor. Soil treatment is priced by area, and the quote comes after the site visit.

• Is it safe to stay at home during termite drilling?

  Usually yes, but keep children and pets away from the room being worked on until the technician says it is fine. Trained technicians do the drilling and injecting, and they tell you beforehand how long to stay out. If someone at home has a breathing problem, please tell us when you book.

• Should our whole society in Garodia Nagar treat for termites?

  That depends on where they are coming from. If they are entering from the soil or a shared wall, one flat alone may not be enough, and the affected line of flats should be looked at. We can inspect first and give the committee one written quote, so it is simple to decide.

• Should I throw out a cupboard that has termites in it?

  Do not throw it out yet. Most pieces can be saved with wood treatment if the wood is still strong. Pull it a little away from the wall if you safely can, and wait for the inspection, because the real source is often the wall behind it and not the cupboard itself.

• Can a spray from the market kill termites inside my wall?

  No. A surface spray kills what it touches and does not reach a colony inside a wall or under a floor. That is why the treatment for a wall is drilling and injecting along the affected line. Fixing any damp in that wall matters too, because moisture is what keeps termites there.
