Termite Protection for New Homes in Vijayanagar & Hebbal: The Service Raju Guarantee
Building a home in Mysore is a dream for ma
ny. Whether you have secured a plot in the serene lanes of Vijayanagar 4th Stage or the rapidly developing industrial-residential hub of Hebbal, the excitement of construction often overshadows a microscopic enemy hiding beneath the soil: the Subterranean Termite.
At Service Raju, we have analyzed soil samples across Mysore’s expanding layouts. The verdict is clear: the moist, red-loamy soil characteristic of regions like Bannimantap and Gokulam acts as a perfect incubator for termite colonies. If you are pouring concrete without a chemical soil barrier, you are essentially inviting these pests to dine on your investment.
The Silent Threat in Mysore’s Soil
Why are homes in Vijayanagar and Hebbal specifically at risk? These areas were formerly agricultural lands or dense vegetation zones. When land is cleared for layouts (like Roopa Nagar or Dattagalli), the natural food source for termites (dead wood) is removed.
Consequently, the termites turn to the next available cellulose source: your new home. They can travel through cracks as thin as a credit card (0.5mm), bypassing concrete to reach door frames, wardrobes, and structural timber.
The Cost of Ignorance
Many homeowners in Saraswathipuram and JP Nagar skip the pre-construction treatment to save a few thousand rupees. The result? Post-construction treatment costs 5x more and involves drilling ugly holes into your expensive vitrified tiles. A preventive approach is not just a safety measure; it is a financial safeguard.
Comprehensive Methodology: The Service Raju Protocol
Our ‘Local Authority’ status comes from our rigorous adherence to IS 6313 (Part II) standards. Here is how we secure your home before the walls even go up:
Stage 1: Foundation Trench Treatment
Once the excavation is complete, we treat the bottom and sides of the trenches. This creates a chemical envelope that kills termites attempting to burrow under the footing.
Stage 2: Backfill Soil Treatment
This is a critical step often missed by local laborers. As the earth is returned to the trench (backfill), we treat the soil layers to ensure no dormant termites are reintroduced to the foundation.
Stage 3: Plinth Level Barrier
Before laying the floor, we treat the top surface of the consolidated earth within the plinth walls. This prevents termites from entering through the floor junction.
Stage 4: External Perimeter Channel
Finally, we dig a shallow trench around the external perimeter of the building and flood it with termiticide, creating a final line of defense.

Pricing Insight: Transparent Costs for Mysore Residents
We believe in upfront pricing. Termite treatment is calculated based on the Plinth Area (Total built-up area at ground level).
- Economy Package (Chlorpyrifos): ₹3 – ₹4 per sq. ft.
- Premium Package (Imidacloprid – Odorless): ₹5 – ₹7 per sq. ft.
Example: For a standard 30×40 site (1200 sq. ft.) in Vidyaranyapuram or Ramakrishnanagar, the total cost for a 10-year protection plan ranges between ₹4,000 to ₹8,000. Compare this to the cost of replacing a single teak wood door frame (approx. ₹15,000), and the ROI is undeniable.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
1. When is the best time to do termite treatment for a new house?
The ideal time is immediately after the excavation of the foundation trenches and before the PCC (Plain Cement Concrete) is poured.
2. Is pre-construction termite control mandatory in Mysore?
While not legally mandatory, it is highly recommended by architects in areas like Vijayanagar and Hebbal due to high soil moisture.
3. How long does the warranty last?
Service Raju offers a standard 10-year structural warranty on pre-construction treatments.
4. Will chemicals affect groundwater in Kuvempunagar?
No. Modern termiticides bind to soil particles and do not leach, making them safe for established zones like Kuvempunagar.
5. What is the cost for a 30×40 site in Hebbal?
Approximately ₹4,000 to ₹7,500 depending on the chemical concentration.
6. Can I do termite treatment myself?
No. Effective treatment requires calibrated pressure pumps; hand pouring is ineffective.
7. Do you cover areas beyond the Ring Road?
Yes, we cover layouts like Roopa Nagar and Bogadi Road extensively.
8. What if it rains after treatment?
If heavy rain occurs within 24 hours, we perform a re-treatment of affected layers at no extra cost.
