Case Study: How DFM Assisted St. George Malankara Catholic Church in Eliminating Termites
Location: St. George Malankara Catholic Church Campus & Trustee Residence, Pulickezhu, Thiruvalla

A Sacred Space Under Threat

Six years ago, the managing committee of St. George Malankara Catholic Church saw their dream come to life: a graceful sanctuary framed by carved pews, polished wooden beams, and bright stained‑glass windows. But earlier this year, something gnawed at that dream—literally. Tiny tunnels appeared along the walls. The caretaker noticed muddy streaks creeping up the skirting boards. When they spotted little piles of sawdust, everyone knew the termites had moved in.

When Quick Fixes Just Weren’t Enough

The committee tried every local spray and gel under the sun. Each time, the pests retreated—then bounced back. “We felt like we were on a treadmill,” a trustee recalls. “Every month brought fresh holes and fresh worry.” The stakes were high. Not only were the ornate pews and door frames at risk, but the very foundation of the church.

A Personal Touch from DFM Greenland India

We didn’t arrive in a white lab coat, announce a miracle, and vanish. Instead, our team walked through the courtyard, stopping at each suspect spot. We listened to the trustees when they described where they’d first seen those mud tubes. Then, we got to work:

1. Deep Dive Inspection
   • No corner went unchecked. From the little room where the choir practices to the back of the vestry, we probed walls with moisture meters.
   • We drew a simple map—lines and arrows marking termite highways.
2. Gentle but Strong Barrier
   • Around the entire plinth and foundation, we laid down a discreet chemical shield. It’s tough on termites, gentle on the building—and on people.
   • No foul odors. No paint stains. Just peace of mind.
3. Pin‑Point Injections
   • We injected a fine mist directly behind the skirting and into every active tunnel we’d found.
   • That way, the little intruders met their match right where they live.
4. A Promise That Lasts
   • We shook hands—and our agreement came with a five‑year repair‑and‑re‑treat guarantee. If any termites dared return, we’d be back, free of charge.

Real Results, Real Smiles

Just one week later, the mud tubes were gone. The church walls looked untouched. Even the choir noticed: no more drips or dust on their robes. “Our church feels brand‑new. Thank you for treating it like your own home.”-The trustees thanked us.
