You’ve built your dream home, furnished it beautifully, and made it your sanctuary. But deep within your walls or beneath your floors, silent invaders might already be working termites.

Kerala’s humid climate and wooden architecture make it especially vulnerable to termite attacks. Even newly built homes can fall victim within a few years if proper protection isn’t in place.

If you missed termite treatment during construction, don’t worry — it’s not too late. With post-construction termite treatment, you can still protect your home from these destructive pests before the damage becomes serious.

This blog explains everything Kerala homeowners need to know about post-construction termite treatment — how it works, why it’s necessary, and how Amicare Pest Control ensures complete, long-lasting protection.

Why Kerala Homes Are at High Risk of Termite Infestation

Termites thrive in warm, moist, and shaded environments — conditions that Kerala’s tropical climate provides in abundance. The problem worsens during monsoon season when soil moisture levels rise.

In Kerala, most houses have:

• Wooden furniture, cupboards, and door frames.

• Moist walls due to frequent rains.

• Gardens or soil patches near the house.

• Foundation cracks and plumbing conduits.

All these factors create perfect entry points for termites to reach your home from underground.

Left untreated, termites can cause:

• Structural damage to beams and walls.

• Hollowing of wooden doors, frames, and furniture.

• Loss of property value and expensive repairs.

That’s where post-construction termite treatment becomes essential.

What Is Post-Construction Termite Treatment?

Post-construction termite treatment is a corrective pest control process done after a building is fully constructed.

Since the soil beneath is no longer accessible, technicians use drilling, injection, and sealing techniques to deliver anti-termite chemicals deep into the foundation, floors, and walls.

The aim is to create a chemical barrier around and beneath your house, cutting off the termites’ entry and destroying existing colonies.

Step by Step Process Followed by Amicare Pest Control

Amicare follows a systematic and government-approved process for post-construction termite treatment in Kerala homes, ensuring safety, efficiency, and long-term protection.

1. Inspection & Identification

The process begins with a detailed inspection of your property. Our trained technicians identify termite trails, mud tubes, droppings, or wood damage to determine infestation levels and affected zones.

2. Drilling & Injection Treatment

Small holes (about 12mm wide) are drilled at regular intervals along:

• The junction between walls and floors.

• Near door frames, windows, and skirting.

• Around kitchen and bathroom corners.

Then, CIB-approved anti-termite chemicals are injected into these holes under controlled pressure.

3. Soil Contact Treatment

Areas where your structure meets soil (like garden borders, patios, or exterior walls) are treated with long-lasting termiticides. This prevents termites from re-entering from the outside soil.

4. Sealing & Restoration

After treatment, the drilled holes are sealed neatly with white cement or matching filler so that the aesthetic of your flooring remains intact.

5. Follow-Up & Monitoring

Amicare provides follow-up inspections and maintenance checks to ensure long-term protection and effectiveness.

Chemicals Used in Treatment

Amicare uses only CIB and HACCP-certified chemicals — approved by the Central Insecticide Board of India, ensuring safety for both homeowners and the environment.

Commonly used formulations include:

• Fipronil 0.05% SC — Odorless, long-lasting, and safe for indoor use.

• Imidacloprid 30.5% SC — Non-repellent and highly effective against termite colonies.

• Chlorpyrifos 20% EC — Used for high-risk soil areas and outdoor perimeters.

All chemicals are applied using low-pressure injection methods to ensure deep penetration and maximum protection without fumes or residues.

Benefits of Post-Construction Termite Treatment

DIY Termite Control vs Professional Treatment

Many homeowners try to manage termite infestations themselves using sprays or home remedies. Unfortunately, these only kill surface termites, leaving colonies untouched inside walls or foundations.

Professional pest control ensures:

• Complete colony elimination.

• Safe, certified chemical use.

• Long-term prevention.

• Warranty-backed assurance.

Compare it with Pre-Construction Termite Treatment in Kerala to understand how both processes complement each other.

When Should You Schedule Post-Construction Termite Treatment?

The best time to do post-construction termite treatment is:

• When you notice early signs of infestation (mud tubes, hollow wood, dust).

• After renovation or remodeling work.

• Every 3–5 years as part of preventive maintenance.

Kerala homeowners, especially in areas like Kochi, Ernakulam, and Trivandrum, should schedule annual termite inspections due to the region’s humidity and soil conditions.
