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.
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.
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.
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:
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.
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.
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.
Finally, we dig a shallow trench around the external perimeter of the building and flood it with termiticide, creating a final line of defense.
| Parameter | Service Raju Standard | Local Vendor |

We believe in upfront pricing. Termite treatment is calculated based on the Plinth Area (Total built-up area at ground level).
Example: For a standard 30x40 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.
Service Raju's mobile units are currently deployed across the entire Mysore city limits. We have specialized teams familiar with the soil conditions in:
Whether you are near the Ring Road or in the heart of the heritage zones, our response time is under 2 hours.
The ideal time is immediately after the excavation of the foundation trenches and before the PCC (Plain Cement Concrete) is poured.
While not legally mandatory, it is highly recommended by architects in areas like Vijayanagar and Hebbal due to high soil moisture.
Service Raju offers a standard 10-year structural warranty on pre-construction treatments.
No. Modern termiticides bind to soil particles and do not leach, making them safe for established zones like Kuvempunagar.
Approximately ₹4,000 to ₹7,500 depending on the chemical concentration.
No. Effective treatment requires calibrated pressure pumps; hand pouring is ineffective.
Yes, we cover layouts like Roopa Nagar and Bogadi Road extensively.
If heavy rain occurs within 24 hours, we perform a re-treatment of affected layers at no extra cost.
Your home's foundation needs a shield, not just luck.
If you are excavating in Mysore this week, you need to act NOW.
