Do Termites attack Teak Wood ?

In Gurgaon When our termite treatment specialists visit our clients site, they come across a very commonly asked question, Do termites attack Teak wood ?

 

Because at the time of purchase ,they have been assured by their timber merchant, people believe that teak wood is resistant to any type of bugs and fungi infestations. Out of our 28 years of experience in Termite Control treatment , we conclude that this is a tall claim , unless the teak wood is impregnated with right type of chemicals.

 

Teak wood has very high density and is considered as strong wood among other varities of hard wood. That is why it is so durable.Teak wood by it’s composition has some percentage of natural oils that repel termites and other bugs. It also does not decay or get stained easily. When a house containing wooden furniture and fixture is attacked by termites, the piece of furniture made of teak is the last thing to be attacked by this voracious insect. The only downside of teak is that it’s cost is exceptionally high.

 

As a matter of fact , termites attack the sapwood (outer layers that conduct water and nutrients to the tree) but not the heartwood of teak ( teak furniture is made of heartwood). If the Teak wood is treated liberally with termiticide and other wood care chemicals , it remains resistant to termites and other wood boring insects.

 

However, if not taken care of well, then over a period of time teakwood can be affected by age, and vageries of weather and other external factors that will the wood look dull or faded from it’s colour.

So it is better to learn this fact about Teak wood now than to find out the hard way later and regret .

Every year termites attack thousands of homes in Delhi NCR region including Gurgaon . The property owners spend million of Rupees annually on Termite Treatments and repairing the damages that they cause.

Once termites have entered a house, they most often  attack cabinets because they can remain undetected there  for a longer period of time. They not only cause severe damage to the wooden cupboards but also  to the contents lying inside.

 

There are different routes through which termites can gain entry and attack built in wardrobes. In the kitchen or bedrooms where the wooden cabinets are erected on masonary or RCC slabs termites seek  direct entry from wall floor junction to wooden cabinets. 

 

Termites travel through the concrete slab by following the sanitary pipes in shaft areas. The wooden cupboards and wardrobes fixed in bedrooms and living rooms are equally vulnerable to termite attack. Termites just need 1/64th of an inch to squeeze through a crack or creavice  in the foundation and gain entry.

Termites can even have an access from behind the wooden  paneling without being noticed. They tend to  damage paper, books, photo frames, albums, and other items that are kept near these areas. Wooden fixture in Bathroom in the form of mirror frame and wooden cabinets are also common termite targets. The termites gain entry to the bathroom through the sanitary line that passes through the foundation.

 

Termites can prove to be highly destructive to wooden fixture and   furniture present in a house. Therefore it is recommended that property owners should  have their home inspected regularly by a termite treatment service provider. The termite professionals can identify the signs of termite activity and suggest the remedial measures as they understand termite behavior and habits and can locate the source of infestation. Once the source of infestation and extent of damage is guaged, a wood termite treatment expert can decide upon course of action to contain the termite problem.

There are several options available for termite treatment of wooden cupboards and wardrobes. Whatever is the source of termite infestation in wood one thing is for sure that the entire cupboard need to be emptied out and wardrobe be vacated so that a thorough injections treatment may be carried out from behind the cupboard/cabinet. Sometimes in case of severe infestation , a wood termite treatment expert may ask you to take the decision of removing/discarding either a part or the entire cupboard.

 

If a termite infestation inside a cupboard is not treated completely, it may become the source of re-infestation and can ruin the other wooden fixtures present in the house. A typical termite treatment to wooden cupboard/cabinet/wardrome/Almirah may include following process:-

  • Removing the stuff from the wooden cupboard.
  • Thoroughly inspecting the source of termite infestation in the form of mud-spots, mud trails, discolouring of wood or the peculiar smell that termites impart to the wood.
  • Undertaking the injection treatment by drilling 6 mm dia holes 300 cms apart.
  • Squriting the oil based termite solution at the prescribed dosages.
  • Repeating this process along all the wall wood and wood floor junctions.
  • Sealing the drilled holes with the prescribed sealant/adhesive.
  • Letting the wood dry and re-inspect it for any further live infestation.
  • Tell the home owner about precautions to be taken after the treatment.
