- Dig 300 mm deep holes at the external perimeter of the building and fill them with chemical as a barrier.
- Make holes into the earth and fill them with chemicals to treat the soil under plinth protection and around pipe.
- Treat expansion of joints at ground level with anti termite chemical treatment.
- Use anti termite chemical to treat ‘chowkhats’ or door frames before fixing them into the building.
