How DFM Greenland India helped protect a beautiful laterite stone home from a severe termite infestation and restored the homeowner’s peace of mind.

Client Background

When Mr. Punnoose built his dream home—Mavelil House in Kidangoor South, Kottayam—he chose laterite stone, a material widely used in Kerala for its charm and cooling properties. But within just five years, what was once a source of pride turned into a source of worry. The home in the humid climate of Aymanam became a target for severe termite infestation.

Cupboards, kitchen cabinets, wooden doors, window frames, and even the bathroom fittings showed signs of damage. Termites had not just entered the living spaces but had spread as far as the terrace.

The Challenge

Laterite stone, though beautiful, is porous and retains moisture. This created an ideal environment for termites to thrive. The challenge wasn’t limited to visible damage—hidden colonies had already spread deep within the structure. The infestation was advanced, widespread, and if not treated correctly, could have continued to threaten the structural integrity of the entire house.

The DFM Approach

Detailed Site Inspection

Our team began with a comprehensive inspection, carefully identifying hidden termite activity in areas often missed. This stage was critical to ensure that the anti-termite treatment would be complete and long-lasting.

Interior Treatment with precision

Inside the house, our technicians drilled small, discreet holes just above the tile skirting. Using advanced German technology—a high-pressure, temperature-controlled machine—we injected Bayer’s eco-friendly termiticide directly into the foundation. This method ensured deep penetration without disturbing the household.

Exterior Defense

The perimeter of the home was treated in the same way. Holes were drilled around the foundation walls, and the same Bayer solution was applied to form a continuous protective barrier. This shield now acts as a permanent defense line, blocking termites from re-entering.

Clean Finish

Once the treatment was completed, every hole was sealed neatly with white cement. The finishing touch ensured that the interiors looked as elegant as before—no messy marks or visible traces left behind.

The Result

• Complete eradication of the existing termite colonies.
• A strong, invisible chemical shield now surrounds the home foundation.
• A Bayer-backed warranty gave the homeowner absolute peace of mind.
• With DFM’s free after-sales support during the warranty period, any future re-treatment—if needed—will be done without extra charges.

What did this mean for the Client?

For Mr. Punnoose and his family, the results meant more than just a termite-free home; they meant a new lease on life. It restored confidence in their house, saved valuable interiors from further damage, and assured them that even in a high-risk environment, their property was protected with international-standard solutions.

• Peace of mind: knowing termites are gone and won’t return.
• Eco-friendly treatment: safe for the family, safe for the environment.
• Long-term protection: a professional solution built to last.
