1.0

PURPOSE
The purpose of this standard is to define specifications to be followed for Anti-termite treatment
work.

2.0

SCOPE
The work covered consists of furnishing and installing anti-termite treatment

3.0

TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS

3.1

GENERAL
The formation of the chemically treated soil barrier shall be accomplished in stages as the
building construction work progresses and due care shall be exercised to ensure that each stage
of treatment is well integrated with that previously applied so that no unprotected avenues of entry
are left open to the termites.

3.2

CHEMICALS
The chemicals used for the soil treatment shall be any one or a combination of the following. The
chemicals shall conform to IS 6313 ( Part II ) 2001, IS 8944, IS 632 and as per manufacturer's
specifications.
Chemicals normally used are Chlorpyrifos 20 EC and Lindane 20 EC

3.3

COMMENCEMENT OF TREATMENT
The treatment shall commence after the construction has reached the plinth level and before the
rubble packing or sand bed over the filled earth in the plinth area is laid.

3.4

TERMITE PROOF BARRIER AT DPC LEVEL

Where a Damp Proof Course is provided the Contractor shall soak chemical emulsion as
specified above in the surface of the DPC when the concrete is yet green at the rate of 5 liters per
sq.meter of DPC surface ensuring that the emulsion soaks into the concrete.
Where no DPC is provided, the mortar used for 2 consecutive courses of masonry just below the
plinth filling shall be made with emulsion as specified above instead of water.
These 2 operations are intended to create a termite proof barrier in the plinth wall, preventing
subterranean termites from infiltrating through voids in the masonry into the superstructure.

3.5

TREATMENT OF TOP SURFACE OF PLINTH FILLING

After the earth filling is completed in the plinth area and before the dry rubble packing or subgrade is laid, the entire surface of the filled earth shall be treated with the chemical emulsion at 5
liters per sq.meter. Light rodding may be carried out in the soil surface to facilitate absorption of
the emulsion.
The above application is intended to prevent entry of termites through the floor structure.

3.6

TREATMENT AT JUNCTION OF WALLS AND FLOOR

Rodding shall be carried out along the junction of the walls and earth filling at 150 mm. intervals
down to or slightly lower than the D.P.C. or the chemical barrier described in 3.5 above. Emulsion
shall be spreaded along the wall junction at one liter per linear meter so that it mixes with the
broken up soil and seeps to the D.P.C. level or chemical barrier, thus establishing continuity of
the anti-termite layer. The disturbed earth shall be tamped back in place after the treatment.

3.7

TREATMENT OF SOIL ALONG EXTERNAL PERIMETER

Finally the earth around the external perimeter of the building upto a depth of 50 mm shall be
treated at the rate of 5 liters per running meter of the plinth wall. To facilitate this treatment, solid
M.S. rods should be driven into the soil as close as possible to the plinth wall at intervals of
150mm and the rods moved backwards and forwards in a direction parallel to the wall to break up
earth so that the chemical emulsion mixes intimately with the soil.

3.8

TREATMENT OF SOIL SURROUNDING PIPES, WASTES AND CONDUITS

When pipes, wastes and conduits enter the soil inside the area of the foundation, the soil
surrounding the point of entry must be loosened around each such pipe, waste or conduits for a
distance of 150mm. and upto a depth of 75mm. before treatment is commenced, when they enter
the soil external to the foundations, they shall be similarly treated unless they stand clear of the
walls of the building by about 75mm. for a distance of every 300mm.

3.9

SPRAYING EQUIPMENT
A pressure pump shall be used to carry out spraying operations to facilitate proper penetration of
chemical into the earth.

3.10

PRECAUTIONS DURING MONSOON

No spraying shall be carried out when it rains. Treatment should be repeated in plinth areas if it
rains immediately after a spraying operation and before the emulsion has soaked into the soil.

3.11

GUARANTEE
The treatment shall carry a guarantee for a minimum period of ten years.

3.12

SUITABILITY
The work shall be carried out to suit other relevant civil works.
