If you have seen mud lines on a wall or a door that sounds hollow, the first question is usually: how much will termite treatment cost? In Dehradun, the price depends mainly on the area of your property, the type of treatment and how far the termites have spread. This guide explains the price per square foot, what is included, and how to make sure you are paying for a treatment that actually lasts.
Termite Treatment Price List (Dehradun)
These are our current starting prices for termite treatment in Dehradun. All prices are plus 18% GST, and our expert confirms the final price after a free inspection, before any work starts.
| Treatment | Property size | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Post-construction anti-termite treatment | Up to 1,100 sq ft | ₹10 per sq ft |
| Post-construction anti-termite treatment | Above 1,100 sq ft | ₹7 per sq ft |
| Pre-construction anti-termite treatment | Any size | ₹12 per sq ft |
| Anti-termite piping system | Any size | ₹25 per sq ft |
For example, a 1,000 sq ft flat costs about ₹10,000 + GST for post-construction treatment, and a 2,000 sq ft house costs about ₹14,000 + GST. For properties a little above 1,100 sq ft, the minimum charge is the same as for 1,100 sq ft (₹11,000), so a bigger home is never charged less than a smaller one.
What Is Included in the Price?
For post-construction treatment (for houses and flats that are already built), the price includes:
- A free inspection to find where termites are entering and how far they have spread
- Drilling small holes along the joints of walls and floors on the ground floor
- Injecting a government-approved termiticide into the soil below, to create a protective barrier
- Sealing the holes neatly with white cement
- Treating wooden frames, doors and fixed wooden furniture where termites are active
- A written service warranty
Pre-construction treatment is done while your house is being built: the soil is treated at foundation, plinth and floor level, and along the outside walls at the end. It costs a little more per square foot, but it protects the whole building from the start. Read more in our guide to pre-construction vs post-construction termite treatment.
What Changes the Cost of Termite Treatment?
1. Area of the property
Termite treatment is priced per square foot of built-up area, because the barrier has to protect every wall and floor joint. Bigger properties cost less per square foot.
2. Type of treatment
Post-construction treatment is the most common for existing homes. Pre-construction treatment is done during construction, and an anti-termite piping system is laid under the floor of new buildings so the treatment can be refilled later without drilling.
3. How bad the infestation is
If termites have already damaged cupboards, doors or wooden flooring, more wooden items need to be treated. In some cases a carpenter may also need to replace badly damaged wood after the treatment.
4. Type of building
Independent houses with gardens, basements or old wooden ceilings need more work than a flat on an upper floor. Offices, schools, hotels and factories get a site survey and a separate quotation.
Is Cheap Termite Treatment Worth It?
A very low price usually means less chemical, fewer holes or a weaker product. The termites may disappear for a few months and then come back. When you compare quotes, ask these questions:
- Which chemical will be used, and is it registered with the Central Insecticides Board (CIB)?
- How far apart will the holes be drilled, and will the holes be sealed?
- Will wooden frames and furniture also be treated?
- How long is the warranty, and is it written?
A proper treatment costs a little more today, but it saves the much bigger cost of replacing doors, cupboards and furniture later.
How to Get the Best Value
- Treat early. The cost of treatment is small compared to the cost of damaged woodwork.
- Treat the whole ground floor, not just the room where you saw termites. Termites move through the soil under the floor.
- Building a new house? Ask your contractor to plan pre-construction treatment at each stage of construction.
- Ask about offers. We often have a first-booking offer — ask our team when you call.
