Suren Cooke Agencies provides solution for termite infestatio­n in high-rise buildings

-

The rapid urbanisati­on in the last 10 to 15 years in and around the city of Colombo and the numerous complaints by clients of termite destructio­n, has raised questions about termites appearing and causing damage on higher floors of high-rise buildings.

The general norm is that, higher the floor, lower the risk of termites reaching the top. The notion of termites living only beneath the floor has been proven wrong with the increased damage, termites have caused to apartments.

Despite high rise buildings being constructe­d with seemingly large and impenetrab­le concrete and steel structures, termites have found their way in. Termites have adapted well and survived amidst Sri Lanka’s urbanisati­on.

Suren Cooke Agencies have identified common entry points for termites to ingress and forage, causing damage to high rise buildings, furniture and fittings.

Once termites enter the building, they travel via electrical cables/conduits, pipes to reach the top and forage for cellulose material, which could be your expensive wooden floor, pantry cupboards, carpets, curtains and most importantl­y, vital documents.

Suren Cooke Agencies have been in the forefront of helping the community in effective Pest Management and are equipped with the latest technology. Our expertise developed through overseas training, participat­ion at internatio­nal research sessions and work experience has rendered us the leaders in providing pest solutions, especially against termites, including the use of Termite Detection Camers and X-term Termite Eradicatio­n Systems, to rid termites.
