Termite (deemak) treatment cost per sq ft in Pakistan (2026): pre, post and spot treatment

Karachi 2026, typical: termite treatment is PKR 25 - 60 per square foot, labour and chemical, and a general "termites in wood" call for an established infestation lands at PKR 5,000 - 30,000 for about half a day depending on the area treated. The per-square-foot figure is applied to the covered area of the floor being treated, not to the plot, and a pest-control kaarigar should measure before quoting rather than guess from the marla size.

• Pre-construction: chemical applied to the foundation soil and plinth before the floor is cast; the cheapest per foot and the most effective
• Post-construction: holes drilled along the inside and outside walls at intervals, chemical injected and sealed; the usual job for an existing house
• Spot treatment: a single frame, cupboard or wooden roof section injected and sprayed; cheap, but the colony is still in the ground

• Drilling at regular intervals along every external wall and the wet areas, not just where you saw the damage
• Treatment of door and window frames where they meet the floor
• Sealing of every hole afterwards
• A written note of the chemical used and the dilution
• A guarantee period in writing, with a return visit if activity reappears

The chemical brand and concentration, whether the kaarigar drills every wall or only the affected one, the number of floors, a wooden roof, and access to the outside of a joined house all change the total. A very low per-foot quote often means fewer holes or a diluted mix; ask exactly how many holes and what spacing.

Post the job on Mechanics4U with the covered area, the number of floors, where you have seen damage, and whether it is a new build or an existing house. Registered pest-control kaarigars in your city reply with a per-foot or total price. Agree it first; if activity returns within 48 hours the kaarigar comes back, labour free, and ask for the longer written guarantee they offer on top.
