How to Get Rid of Termites (Deemak) in Pakistan

TERMITE CONTROL · PAKISTAN
Found hollow-sounding wood, mud tunnels on a wall, or fine sawdust under your furniture? Termites — deemak (دیمک) are one of the most destructive pests in Pakistan. They quietly eat through doors, cupboards, beds, books and even paper from the inside out — and most people only notice once the damage is done. The good news: with the right treatment you can stop deemak completely and protect your wood for weeks. Here's exactly how.
Quick answer: To get rid of termites, find the source by checking wooden furniture, door frames and damp walls for mud tubes, then spray a professional-grade deemak killer directly into the tunnels, cracks and infested wood. Treat the surrounding area and soil too, and re-apply after 2–3 weeks. A residual formula keeps killing the colony for weeks.
Signs you have a termite (deemak) problem
Deemak works hidden inside the wood, so the early signs are easy to miss. Watch for these:
- Hollow-sounding wood when you tap a door, frame or piece of furniture.
- Mud tubes or thin earth lines running up walls, skirting and woodwork.
- Fine powder or sawdust collecting under furniture, beds or shelves.
- Damaged paper, books or cardboard stored against walls or in cupboards.
- Discarded wings near windows after a swarm, especially in the rainy season.
Where termites hide
Deemak love damp, dark wood and soil with moisture. Check all of these:
- Wooden door frames, window frames and skirting boards
- Inside and behind cupboards, almirahs and wooden beds
- Damp walls, especially near bathrooms and leaking pipes
- Stored books, paper, cardboard boxes and old furniture
- Soil and foundations around the house where colonies nest
Why termites are so hard to get rid of
A termite colony can hold thousands of insects with a hidden queen that keeps laying eggs, and they work deep inside the wood and soil where surface sprays never reach. Cheap kerosene or oil tricks only kill what you can see and wear off in hours. You need a product with a residual (long-lasting) effect that the workers carry back into the colony and that keeps killing for 4–6 weeks.
How to get rid of termites — step by step
- Find the source. Tap doors, frames and furniture for hollow spots and follow any mud tubes back to where deemak is entering.
- Fix the moisture. Repair leaking pipes and damp walls — deemak cannot survive without moisture, so drying the area weakens them.
- Spray a professional-grade deemak killer. Mix the powder with water and spray it directly into the tunnels, cracks, infested wood and the soil around the affected area. This is the step that actually kills the colony.
- Repeat after 2–3 weeks. A second treatment kills any termites that survived deeper in the wood or soil and stops the colony rebuilding.
⚠️ Most common mistake: only painting polish or kerosene on the surface of the wood. Deemak lives deep inside the wood and soil — if you don't spray into the tunnels and treat the source, the colony keeps eating from the inside and comes back.
The best deemak killer in Pakistan

Both are odourless after drying, safe for family use once the area is ventilated, and delivered free across Pakistan with Cash on Delivery (COD).
Before & after treatment
😟 Before
- Doors & furniture being eaten away
- Mud tubes spreading on the walls
- Damaged books, papers & cupboards
- Costly furniture ruined from inside
😊 After
- Deemak killed at the source
- Solid, protected wood & furniture
- No more mud tubes or sawdust
- Weeks of lasting protection
How to stop termites from coming back
- Fix leaks and keep walls, bathrooms and wood dry — deemak needs moisture.
- Keep furniture slightly away from damp walls so air can circulate.
- Don't store cardboard, old paper or scrap wood against walls.
- Inspect door frames and furniture every few months and re-treat at the first sign of deemak.
Frequently asked questions
How long does it take to get rid of termites?
With a proper residual treatment, most active deemak dies within a few days, and a second application after 2–3 weeks clears the colony completely.
Can I treat deemak myself at home?
Yes — for most household infestations you can spray a professional-grade deemak killer into the tunnels, cracks and soil yourself. Wear the included mask, ventilate the area, and repeat the treatment after a couple of weeks.
Why does deemak keep coming back?
Usually because only the surface was treated, the moisture problem was never fixed, or the colony in the soil was left alive. Spraying into the source plus keeping wood dry solves it.
