Why Termite Control Is Important

Termites can silently destroy wood structures, furniture, and even building foundations. Effective termite control prevents costly damage and ensures safety.

Approved Chemicals for Termite Treatment (as per IS 6313)

Types of Termites

Subterranean Termites: Live underground and build mud tubes to access food.
Drywood Termites: Infest dry wood and furniture, need no soil contact.
Dampwood Termites: Thrive in moist wood, commonly found in humid areas.

Termite Control Methods

Pre-construction Treatment: Soil treatment before foundation laying using termiticides.

Post-construction Treatment: Drilling and injecting termiticide into soil around existing buildings.

Wood Treatment: Surface or injection treatments for furniture and wooden fixtures.

Bait Systems: Non-repellent bait stations to attract and eliminate colonies.

Common Chemicals Used

Chemical	Application	Remarks
Chlorpyrifos 20% EC	Soil treatment	Widely used in India
Imidacloprid 30.5 SC	Soil & wood treatment	Low toxicity, effective
Bifenthrin 2.5% EC	Surface & trench application	Long residual effect
Fipronil 2.5% EC	Bait stations & perimeter	Non-repellent action

🛠️ Application Guidelines

Only trained professionals should apply termiticides.

Wear protective clothing, gloves, and masks during application.

Avoid direct contact with treated soil or wood.

Ensure proper ventilation after indoor treatment.

Keep children and pets away from treated areas until safe.

1. Post-Construction Treatment

Used in already constructed buildings:

🔹 Drilling and Injection:

Apply solution directly on infested wood using a brush or sprayer.

For deep infestation, drill small holes into wood and inject the solution.

🧪 Chemical Composition

Stage	Application Details
Active Ingredient	Imidacloprid 30.5% w/w (SC)
Chemical Group	Neonicotinoid
Formulation Type	Suspension Concentrate
Mode of Action	Systemic and contact neurotoxin (affects CNS of termites)

🔹 Wood Treatment:

Drill 12 mm diameter holes at 1 ft intervals along the wall-floor junction.

Inject 5 liters of diluted solution per hole.

Plug holes with cement after treatment.

2. Pre-Construction Treatment

Used during various stages of building construction:

Stage	Application Details	Dosage
Bottom of foundation trench	Apply before laying the concrete	5 L/m² of diluted spray
Backfill treatment	After foundation walls are built	7.5 L/m²
Floor surface treatment	Just before laying floor slab	5 L/m²
Around pipes/cables	Treat the soil surrounding utility entries	1.5 L per linear meter

For fumigation and pest control in India, several Indian Standards (IS) are issued by the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) to ensure safety, efficacy, and regulatory compliance. Here's a list of important IS codes related to fumigation and pest control:

🐛 Fumigation & Pest Control – Indian Standards (IS Codes)

IS Code	Title / Description
IS 11171:1985	Code of Practice for Fumigation of Agricultural Produce
MIS 11172:1985	Code of Practice for Fumigation of Warehouses
IS 11173:1985	Code of Practice for Fumigation of Containers
IS 11174:1985	Code of Practice for Fumigation of Ships
IS 11175:1985	Code of Practice for Fumigation of Stacks
IS 11176:1985	Code of Practice for Fumigation of Silos
IS 11177:1985	Code of Practice for Fumigation of Godowns
IS 8944:1978	Code of Practice for Handling, Storage, and Transportation of Aluminium Phosphide
IS 6432:1972	Terminology Related to Fumigation
IS 13386:1992	Fumigants – General Requirements

⚠️ Safety and Regulatory Compliance:

Aluminium Phosphide, Methyl Bromide, General Pest Control, sulfuryl fluoride, etc., are common fumigants covered under these standards.

You must comply with Insecticide Act 1968 and Plant Quarantine (Regulation of Import into India) Order, 2003 for international shipments.

Fumigators must be licensed and trained per these standards.

🐜 🇮🇳 Termite Treatment Chemicals as per Indian Standards (IS)

The Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) governs termite control through a specific code:

Standard Code	Title/Use
IS 6313	Code of Practice for Anti-Termite Measures in Buildings
IS 14665	Standards for Elevators (Lifts)
IS 456	Code of Practice for Plain and Reinforced Concrete
IS 302	Safety of Household Electrical Appliances
IS 7016	Rubber Testing Standards

📘 IS 6313 (Part 1 to 3): Code of Practice for Anti-Termite Measures in Buildings

This standard specifies approved chemicals and methods for pre- and post-construction termite control.
