Every year termites attack thousands of homes in Delhi NCR region including Gurgaon . The property owners spend million of Rupees annually on Termite Treatments and repairing the damages that they cause.
Once termites have entered a house, they most often attack cabinets because they can remain undetected there for a longer period of time. They not only cause severe damage to the wooden cupboards but also to the contents lying inside.
There are different routes through which termites can gain entry and attack built in wardrobes. In the kitchen or bedrooms where the wooden cabinets are erected on masonary or RCC slabs termites seek direct entry from wall floor junction to wooden cabinets.
Termites travel through the concrete slab by following the sanitary pipes in shaft areas. The wooden cupboards and wardrobes fixed in bedrooms and living rooms are equally vulnerable to termite attack. Termites just need 1/64th of an inch to squeeze through a crack or creavice in the foundation and gain entry.
Termites can even have an access from behind the wooden paneling without being noticed. They tend to damage paper, books, photo frames, albums, and other items that are kept near these areas. Wooden fixture in Bathroom in the form of mirror frame and wooden cabinets are also common termite targets. The termites gain entry to the bathroom through the sanitary line that passes through the foundation.
