The species that matters here
Subterranean termites are the ones that damage UAE buildings. They live in the soil and reach timber through mud tubes, which means the colony causing the damage is usually not inside the building at all — it is underneath or beside it, and treating the visible timber alone achieves nothing.
Irrigated landscaping is what makes UAE villas attractive to them. Constant watering against the building line keeps soil moist year round, and mature planting close to walls provides the route in. This is why older villa communities with established gardens carry far more risk than new build.
What we actually do
Soil injection creates a treated zone around and beneath the structure that the colony cannot cross without picking up the product. Where the building or landscaping makes full soil treatment impractical, monitored bait stations are placed around the perimeter — the colony takes the bait back and it works through the population over time.
Which approach suits your property depends on construction, landscaping and how established the colony is. That is decided at inspection, not over the phone, which is why this service is quoted rather than priced.
Pre-purchase inspection
If you are buying a villa, particularly an older one, get it inspected before you commit. We produce a written report with photographs of any activity found and an assessment of the risk. It costs a fraction of what termite repairs cost, and it is a concrete document in a price negotiation.
What to look for yourself
Mud tubes running up foundations or walls. Timber that sounds hollow. Door frames, skirting or built-in wardrobe backs that crumble when pressed. Discarded wings near windows after a swarm. Any of these means call someone — damage found early is a repair, damage found late is a rebuild.
