Termites, commonly called as white ants, or locally known as “deemak”, can damage wooden furniture, door frames, cupboards and other parts of a property, often before their presence becomes noticeable. Professional termite control helps identify termite activity and determine the appropriate treatment for your property.
Rentokil PCI provides termite control services for residential and commercial properties, including pre-construction anti-termite treatment and solutions for existing buildings.
Whether you are planning a new construction project or need professional termite pest control for an existing property, our specialists can help you understand the available treatment options.
Termite activity can remain hidden for long periods, making it difficult to assess the extent of a problem through visible damage alone. Rentokil PCI combines professional inspection, treatment expertise and tailored recommendations to help address termite concerns.
The appropriate termite, or "deemak" treatment depends on whether the property is under construction, already occupied, showing signs of infestation or being assessed for preventive protection.
Rentokil PCI offers different approaches to termite management, with the recommended option depending on the property's requirements and assessment findings.
Pre-construction anti-termite treatment is carried out at specified stages of building construction. It involves treating relevant areas of the soil or structure to help create a protective barrier against termite entry.
The treatment may involve approved anti-termite chemicals applied according to the construction stage, site requirements and product instructions. Planning termite protection during construction allows treatment to be incorporated at the appropriate stages of the building process.
Best suited for: Properties under construction, subject to site and treatment requirements.
Post-construction termite treatment is intended for existing homes, offices and other buildings. Following an assessment, the specialist recommends an appropriate method based on termite activity, building conditions and accessible treatment areas.
Depending on the selected method, treatment may involve targeted application or drilling and injection. The specialist can explain the proposed approach and any precautions required before work begins.
Best suited for: Existing properties requiring termite assessment, remedial treatment or additional protection.
The termite baiting system uses strategically positioned bait stations and a monitoring programme to target termite colonies. Foraging termites interact with the bait, which is designed to affect the colony over time.
This approach may be considered where a baiting and monitoring programme is appropriate for the property. Its suitability depends on site conditions and the termite activity identified.
Best suited for: Properties where a baiting and monitoring approach is appropriate.
Termiseal Green is a biological termite-management solution offered by Rentokil PCI that uses microorganisms to target termites in the soil.
Unlike conventional treatments that rely on chemical termiticides, its biocontrol agent acts against termite activity and can grow and multiply in the soil under suitable conditions. The treatment is applied according to the product’s recommended usage and the site’s requirements.
Best suited for: Gardens, lawns and landscaped areas where biological termite management is appropriate.
Termites feed on cellulose-containing materials, including wood and other plant-based materials. They can damage furniture, door frames, wooden fittings and other vulnerable components of a building while remaining hidden from view.
By the time visible signs appear, termite activity may already extend beyond the affected surface. Identifying the problem early can help you understand the extent of the activity and determine whether professional treatment is needed.
If you suspect an infestation, avoid relying solely on surface sprays or treating visible insects. These approaches may not address the underlying source of termite activity.
Termite concerns can vary depending on the type of property, the materials used and the areas exposed to termite activity. Rentokil PCI provides termite control services for residential and commercial premises, with recommendations based on the property's requirements.
Whether you are dealing with suspected termite activity or planning protection during construction, a specialist can help you understand the next steps.
Choosing between pre-construction and post-construction treatment depends largely on the stage of the building and the property's needs.
| Comparison point | Pre-construction treatment | Post-construction treatment |
|---|---|---|
| When it is carried out | During specified construction stages | After the building has been constructed |
| Main purpose | Help prevent termite entry through treated areas | Address identified termite activity or provide protection to an existing property |
| Treatment considerations | Construction stage, site conditions and treatment requirements | Termite activity, building layout and accessible treatment areas |
| Treatment approach | Application at relevant stages of construction | Method selected following an assessment; may involve targeted application or drilling and injection |
| Who should consider it? | Property owners, builders, contractors and developers planning a new building | Homeowners, businesses and property managers with an existing building |
Neither approach should be selected on price alone. The appropriate treatment depends on the property, its condition and the intended protection.
If you suspect termites, knowing what happens after you enquire can make the decision to book easier. The process begins with understanding the property and determining the appropriate course of action
The treatment method, time required and follow-up needs depend on the property, the extent of termite activity and the solution selected.
The cost of professional termite treatment depends on the property's size and condition, the extent of termite activity and the treatment method required.
Factors that can influence the cost include:
A three-bedroom apartment and a larger commercial property may have different treatment requirements, so a universal price may not reflect the service needed.

Although no preventive measure can guarantee that termites will never enter a property, reducing conducive conditions can help manage risk.
Arrange an inspection when signs appear: Do not ignore mud tubes, discarded wings or unexplained wood damage.
If your property has already been treated, follow the specialist's instructions regarding access, maintenance, monitoring and any recommended follow-up.
Professional termite treatment may include pre-construction anti-termite treatment, post-construction treatment, chemical barrier methods and termite baiting systems. Biological termite-management options may also be considered for suitable outdoor or landscaped areas. The appropriate method depends on the building, the location of termite activity and the results of a professional assessment.
The best treatment depends on your home's condition, the extent of the infestation and the areas affected. A professional inspection can help identify the affected areas and recommend a suitable treatment. Depending on your home's needs, this may involve a chemical treatment or a termite baiting system. A specialist can explain the available options and recommend a solution suited to your home's needs.
Book a professional termite inspection to assess your home, identify the extent of the problem and determine the most suitable treatment for your property.
Termite treatment involves identifying termite activity and selecting an appropriate method to address the infestation or reduce the risk of termite entry. Depending on the property and assessment findings, options may include pre-construction treatment, post-construction treatment or termite baiting. A specialist can explain the recommended approach and the steps involved before treatment begins.
No. Most home insurance policies do NOT cover damage done by termites. As 1 in 4 Indian homes are affected by termites in their lifetime, it pays for you to be vigilant.

Chemical barrier treatment involves applying a termiticide to specified areas to help restrict termite entry. Termite baiting uses bait stations to target foraging termites and affect the colony over time. The methods work differently, and the appropriate option depends on the property, site conditions and assessment findings.
Precautions depend on the products used, the application method and the areas being treated. Before treatment begins, ask the specialist about access restrictions, ventilation and any instructions for children, pets, food and household items. Follow the specific instructions provided for your service.
Deemak treatment is a commonly used term for termite treatment. It may be needed when you notice signs such as mud tubes, discarded wings, damaged or hollow-sounding wood, or recurring termite activity. A professional inspection can help identify the extent of the activity and determine the appropriate treatment for your property.
Termite baiting can be an option for managing certain termite infestations. Its effectiveness depends on factors such as termite activity, bait placement, feeding behaviour, site conditions and ongoing monitoring. A professional assessment can help determine whether baiting is suitable for your property or whether another treatment approach should be considered.
Warranty coverage and follow-up services depend on the treatment method, service terms and conditions. Before proceeding, confirm whether the treatment includes a warranty, monitoring visits or follow-up inspections, along with any applicable conditions.
