Termites can ‘attack’ any type of building, whether, RCC or masonry, old or new or basement. They make their way even through a small gap of 0.5mm by constructing mud-tubes to get into the building. Moisture in the building and wood that is in direct contact with soil are favourable factors for termite infestation. Termites are silent destroyers and a big threat to most constructions, be it houses or office buildings. By the time the infestation is detected, extensive damage may have already occurred to the building and furniture. There are a few options available for the protection of buildings from the subterranean termite infestation. Physical barriers like termite shields, constructional measures, and inert barriers like sand or stainless steel mesh or chemically treated plastic sheets
