Termite Control & Deemak Treatment in Citi Housing Gujranwala

Ground Conditions & Treatment Protocol

Canal-Belt Hydrology

The Upper Chenab Canal keeps subsoil moisture elevated across Citi Housing's western and central sectors year-round, independent of rainfall. Subterranean termites forage toward moisture, which is why canal-proximate plots consistently show earlier and denser colonization than inland sectors of the same phase.

Backfilled Agricultural Soil (Phase 1 & 2)

Land in these phases was farmland before subdivision. Backfill soil routinely contains root stubble, crop residue, and organic-rich topsoil — conditions that can support an active termite colony before a single brick is laid. This is why Makhdoom Services recommends a soil inspection at the trench-excavation stage, not just at the DPC stage.

Pre-Construction Slab & DPC Treatment Protocol

1. Trench inspection — visual check of open foundation trenches for mud tubes, termite galleries, or root debris before treatment begins.
2. Trench and footing barrier — chemical soil treatment applied to trench floor and walls before footing concrete is poured.
3. Post-backfill horizontal barrier — after backfilling, the full slab area is treated at the specified depth and spacing before DPC and flooring base installation.
4. Perimeter re-treatment — a treated band around the full building footprint after external plaster and flooring are complete, sealing gaps from utility penetrations. This finishing pass is covered under our 5-year post-construction warranty tier.
5. Verification and guarantee registration — site sign-off with a written 10-year chemical barrier guarantee (pre-construction slab treatment) and a scheduled annual inspection.

Active Ingredient. Termisol 25 EC is used as the sole treatment agent across the full-slab pre-construction barrier and the perimeter re-treatment pass. As a non-repellent termiticide, foraging termites cannot detect it and carry it back into the colony, producing a transfer (domino) effect that eliminates the nest rather than simply deflecting individual foragers — the same formulation is used at tightened spacing for the exposed perimeter band, giving a hard chemical deterrent at the surface where it matters most.

Property Footprint & Treatment Specification

Warranty terms: Pre-Construction Treatment (full-slab soil barrier before flooring) carries a 10-year written warranty. Post-Construction Treatment (perimeter drill-and-inject on already-built structures) carries a 5-year written warranty.

Makhdoom Services Citi Housing Gujranwala Field Log

Site: Phase 2, residential plot at lintel level (block reference withheld for client privacy)

Site Condition

Freshly backfilled plot with foundation trenches still partially visible along the northern boundary. Backfill soil showed visible root stubble, and two active mud tubes were found climbing an exposed column base — evidence of a subterranean colony already present in the agricultural-origin soil, not an infestation that arrived after construction began.

Action Taken

Full trench treatment at the exposed footing (10-inch depth, 15-inch spacing) using Termisol 25 EC ahead of the client's mason resuming brickwork, followed by a complete slab pre-treatment before DPC laying. The two mud tube points were treated with a concentrated spot application to disrupt the visible foraging trail back to its source.

Outcome

No re-emergence at the 90-day or 6-month inspection checkpoints. Perimeter re-treatment scheduled at final plaster stage under our standard 5-year post-construction guarantee protocol; the primary full-slab treatment already completed is covered under the 10-year pre-construction guarantee.
