Out of all the countless insects, rodents, critters and other pests that disturb and discomfort homeowners everywhere, none is more dangerous than the termite. Only termite’s can singlehandedly ruin and destroy a house's very foundation and character in just a few short years. The initial destructive handiwork of termites may not even be noticeable for the first 5 years after their infestation. By then, it may be too late. Your home is likely the largest investment you have ever made--and the most important--so it is absolutely necessary to take the proper steps to protect your home from termites, and to rid your house of them immediately if they have already invaded your property.
Following are the steps for Termites:
• Maintain a dry home or apartment. Termites are naturally drawn to damp and moist habitats because they need water to survive. Make sure all leaks and standing water, both inside and outside of your home are secured and dry. Dirty wet gutters are also an ideal home for termites, so keep your gutters free of debris for further prevention, too.
• Keep wood off your property. Termites obviously feed heavily on wood so keep large amounts of firewood and other loose tree trunks and branches away from your home. If you maintain large amounts of wood on your property, you are only inviting a termite feast.
• Be cognizant of the warning signs. You may not see direct evidence of termite infestation, but that doesn't mean you should remain ignorant of it. Sagging floors, holes in wood work and hollow parts of your foundation are all serious warning signs of termites. Take a screwdriver and flashlight with you to your basement, and examine crawlspaces and foundation beams by tapping on the wood to check for hollowness and to push the screwdriver into the wood to test for strength. If the wood gives easily and falls apart, you may have a termite problem on your hands.
• ITEM Secure gives best solutions for termite-control. Readily available at your local hardware supply store, using termite-control products is the first step you need to take to get rid of these harmful pests. You can use termite-baiting control methods or a liquid termite-killing product. Lay the bait near infested areas and spray the termiticide on those same areas.
• Prevent infestation before it occurs. By simply caulking and sealing the windows, doorways and cracks around your home, you are taking the initial and very important steps toward making sure that no termites invade and infest your property. Gaps around electrical wiring and pipes to and from your house are another easy way for termites to traffic themselves into your home. Screens on your doors, window and porch are also a necessity if you are wary of a termite infestation.

How ITEM Secure Works to prevent from Termite?

ITEM technology consists of Intelligent Network of Pipes and Valves with built in drippers, which is laid under the floor, inside and outside the building. Once the building is ready, pesticides are pumped into the network. Network uniformly spreads the pesticides in the soil, all around the building. It is a novel method of pumping the pesticides through the already laid pipelines with the help of an imported Dripper, which restricts the entry of termites into the structure and thus do the needed work called as termite prevention, termite control or termite protection.

The substitute, which is available today, is not stable in the soil for longer period. So, through years of continued attempts, inventions and experiments, we have been able to successfully develop this infrastructure, Viz. ITEM, which will effectively prevent penetration of termites? Although we are installing it below the floor level, we can plan it at the plinth level by installing LLDP (Linear Low Density Polythine) Pipes on the Joints of the internal wall. Same kind of treatment will be done to the external periphery Also. The job, which will be completed at flooring level, will be tested in the presence of your representative and the duly completed infrastructure will be handed over to you by sealing The Junction Box, which could be opened, used for periodic pumping of pesticides in future. Infrastructure Installation is a very cost effective method of treatment and is a new milestone revolutionary concept as far as anti-termite treatment is concerned.
This treatment is repeated as and when necessary. This technology can be implemented only in structures that are under construction.

ITEM Secure is a new milestone achieved in the history of anti-termite treatment and is a far advanced revolutionary concept for termite proofing that has made people thinking.
