Can termites travel from a treated house to non treated house or Do termites move from one house to another in a neighbour hood. Can Termite Control be done effectively This remains the concern when home owners in Delhi, Gurgaon and Noida come across a situation when they discover their next door neighbour had a termite issue. Their first reaction is to immediately take decision to get their house also anti termite treatment done.

There are over 230 different species of Sub terrainean termites in India that cause problems to properties: i.e

Coptotermes heimi
Coptotermes gestroi
Heterotermes indicola
Schedorhinotermes spp.
Ondototermes spp.
Psammotermes rajathanicus
Macrotermes gilvus
Microcerotermes spp.
Nasutitermes sp.

The dimensions of a Termite colony can be vary from place to place. Larger colonies can have millions of members, infesting areas up to half an acre. Whereas newly developed and smaller colonies may contain less than 15,000 individuals, with an infestation “footprint” no bigger than a living room. In some cases fewer but larger colonies may be present, whereas in there may be smaller and more numerous colonies scattered over a large area. In residential areas, the colony or colonies responsible for damage may actually be located under the neighbour’s house, rather than beneath the house that is being infested.

Nowadays, In Delhi , Noida and Gurgaon houses are being built closer and closer adjoining each other, particularly in new-construction areas. If you discover that your neighbours had a termite problem , it is natural for you to be concerned , but it should not be a reason to panic.

Here are some preventive measures that you should consider if you hear that your neighbours has a termite issue. No one likes ones house to be visited by these destructive pests. If you are better informed about the behaviour of termites and their tendencies, you will be in a position to understand the chances of your house getting termite infested and can easily reduce the risk.

Termites are soil nesting pests and when they move through the soil in search of food they don’t follow any definite directional pattern, Nor do they can tell difference between a new construction and an old one.That is the reason that some times very new constructions discover termite envasion and sometime houses in delhi and gurgaon ,which are as old as 40 years had never intercepted termites .Therefore your house not necessarily have to be treated for termites just because the house next door has been infested by those sub-terranean termites.

However, It is strongly recommended that if this termite situation happens in your neighborhood, you should get your home thoroughly inspected. as all the houses in your neighborhood are at risk of picking termite infestation . Moreover termites travel upto 70 metres in all directions in search of cellulose base food. If the age of the house is the same, type of construction and material used is the same and moisture level of the soil is the same, then it becomes utmost essential that you get your house inspected against termites invasion.

Your house is not a fortress , and your for walls can not protect it from the most envasive pest on earth. Do it right away, even if you don’t see any signs of termite infestation. It is like buying peace and you have no worries. In the meantime, take measures and ensure that you don’t give termites an open invitation to the inside of your house. When a new house is constructed there is always some extra wood (that could not be used in making wooden doors, windows and cupboards) which remain unused. In northen part of India homeowners have a tendency to store that extra and left over wood in the overhead lofts. This stored wood which remains unattended attract termites and prove to be a hazard. Therefore If you have any form of timber stored inside or around your house , move it away from the building. Fix any leaky taps or dampness source that may attract termites. Property owners in India can help reduce the risk of termites invasion through proper house upkeep, exterior home maintenance and dampness control.

Another pathway of termites traveling from one place to another is through flying. During first rains in summer season the reproductives ( a class of sub terranean termites) gather wings and emerge from it’s underneath full grown colony and fly. They search for new mate partners so as to form new colonies . This flight is scientifically known as “nupital flight”. After they have successfully mated, the termites shed their wings and start the process of creating a new colony.

If there is a new construction going on in your vicinity your chances of getting a termite infestation goes up because each acre of land may have upto 8-10 active termite colonies. If any such termite colony in the soil is disturbed, it’s chances of spreading increases. That is the reason why homeowners in Delhi Gurgaon and Noida complain that they have observed termite infestation in their house only when a new construction in their neighbourhood started. Whereas prior to that they never experienced termite menace for years together.

There are about Twenty four known species of termites in North India and Formosan termites, one such species of subterranean termite found in northen region of India, including Delhi , Noida and Gurgaon . Formosan Termites can easily cross infest and transport from one place to another if they are carried along the wood they are living in. Any wood , brought from an old house and infested by Formosan termites, may contain a queen termite which is capable enough to continue a new colony elsewhere.

Therefore being a Anti termite professionals in Delhi NCR we recommend call a Termite Inspection expert even if you don’t think your home’s at risk. If the termite infestation is detected close to your property , the chances are they will eventually infest your house as well because there’s likely something in the general area they find appealing.

Why trees in gurgaon are termite infested ?

bpadmin — Fri, 15 Jul 2016 11:27:01 +0000

Gurgaon : A city that boasts of its 30% green belt might get a rude shock as a latest survey has revealed that Sub- terranean termites are eating into many trees , plants and shrubs, threatening their very existence in some areas of Gurgaon city. Total Number of trees in Gurgaon are constantly decreasing from it’s original number of 14.31 lakhs in year 2001. As such it is the need of the hour that govt. makes sincere efforts for Termite Treatment in Gurgaon.

Gurgaon is known for its lush green cover. Some of the trees here are older than 90 years and have witnessed the transformation of Gurgaon from an agricultural land to concrete jungle and skyscrapers. However, according to a Haryana Agricultura University over 39% of trees in Gurgaon are under attack by sub terranean termites.

The study, conducted by Forest Survey of India , North Zone, says that most of the trees along , Arjun Marg, Akashneem Marg, Amaltaas Marg and jacaranda Marg of DLF area of gurgaon are infested by termites. In fact, the DLF ,Sushant Lok and South City areas of Gurgaon have already lost considerable number of trees to termites attack and many more trees are about to collapse due to termite infestation. To make matters worse, the study warns that a lot of trees trees, are already weakened by Termite infestation and are are posing a threat to lives of commuters and adjoining residential buildings.

The worst affected tree species are Juliflora, Acacia Nilotica (Babul and Keekar), Eucalyptus (safeeda) and Azadirachta indica (Neem). The study says 37% trees in Golf course, Sohna road and extention have been damaged by termites in the absence of any protection from termites. It also says that most of the termite affected trees are on MG road . Many fruit bearing trees and other variety of vegetation are also affected by this tiny creature having voracious appetite for wood and for anything with cellulose. Besides, many varieties of trees are also leaning forward on roadsides, weighed down by termite infestation.

A senior officer from Forest Survey of India , Northen Zone said, ” Sub-terranean Termites have infected a large number of trees in Gurgaon and New Gurgaon area. City was built on agricultural land and that makes trees here prone to all types of termite infestation.

Many trees around Udyog Vihar, Old gurgaon , Sector-9, Sector-10 Sector-11 are also termite infected.He further added that proper and timely action is required to protect and preserve the trees by using appropriate anti-termite chemical.” If the current situation is allowed to persists and no action is taken , these trees will barely survive another 10-15 years. Eco-friendly and non toxic termite control measures should be adopted to protect gurgaon trees from these destructive creatures .These can be achieved by planting termite resistant varities of trees like neem trees or using aloevera. Termite colonies prevelent under the trees can further cross infest houses when the termite infested roots of tree passes under the foundation of a house.

Does home insurance cover termite damages

bpadmin — Wed, 15 Jun 2016 20:11:44 +0000

Owning a house in india is perhaps the precious and most important investment we make these days . If such possession is in high end markets of Delhi and Gurgaon it is a matter of pride. whether it is a cash purchase or a financed one, protecting your investment is a must.

Many home owners in Delhi and Gurgaon buy an insurance cover and that is the best thing one can do to protect one’s house against unforeseen circumstances. But the second important thing one must know is what all an insurance plan may or may not cover.

It is an established fact that termites cause billion Rupees of damage every year to property owners in India. If these voracious createures cause any visible or invisible damge to your property do not expect your insurance company to rescue you out of this as termite damage is rarely covered under home insurance plan. Home insurance policy only covers damage due to sudden or un expected events and not the damages occurred to your property due to termite attacks. This is because of an unwritten understanding that losses due to termites can be prevented through proper house keeping practises, anti termite control treatments and periodic inspections and hence can not be classified under sudden and unexpected event.

The Sub-terranean termites form hidden routes to have an access to to the wooden structure of a house and as the time passes, can cause extensive damage to the basic building structure which requires costly repairs.

In fact, termites are active in every indian state with Delhi and Gurgaon being the worst affected by Sub-terranean species of termites. It is due to this reason that most Home insurance companies do not cover losses either due to termite damage or termite repairs.

Because damages due to termites attack are rarely covered under home insurance schemes , therefore it is highly advisable that home owners in Delhi and Gurgaon to have their property inspected and get their house regularly treated against termite infestations. Moreover at the time of initial purchase one should thoroughly get the property inspected by a certified Termite inspector so as to give you peace of mind that at the time of purchase at least your house is free of termite infestation.

Many home owner in Gurgaon would not like to come across a termite problem, but in Gurgaon the Termite Problem complaints have been rampant over the years and many people are desperately looking for solutions. This is because most houses or socities built in Gurgaon were constructed on agricultural lands that had been infested previously by termites. If no proper precaution or extensive Pre construction Anti termite treatments have been applied by the builder at the time of construction , the chances of termites infesting a property increases many fold in Gurgaon.

Termites damaging Property

Moreover , in Gurgaon the physical connection of houses within a block or colony allows termites infest one property to another property within that block without having need to travel through sub soil level. Thus even Extensive termite treatments as typically applied would never have the opportunity to contact and thereby control underneath termite colonies. To identify the termite infestation is a cumbersome job as termites like damp, warm, and dark areas of a premise.

Secondly Trees serve as gateways for termites to invade a premise. Termites constantly forage for food sources, which include trees. Majority of houses in Gurgaon are attacked by termites. Majority of the trees around the Gurgaon houses are weakened considerably by termite attack so that when a strong wind comes along it can fall over. The risk in having an infested tree around your house is that ground termites can travel through the roots. If the roots go under the foundation of the house it act as a subway that can lead them into the house. Among the termite favorite plant species are Sheesham, Ashoka, Mango , Pine and Eucalyptus.
