Home Pest Control Services in Delhi — Complete 2026 Guide

What a real society pest control AMC covers (and what it doesn’t)

The first thing every RWA committee gets wrong is treating “society AMC” as one contract. It’s actually two: a common-area contract paid by the society, and a per-flat option paid by individual flat owners. Getting this split clear in the contract avoids the most common dispute — an RWA secretary calling us because a flat owner is asking why their kitchen wasn’t treated during the quarterly visit.

Common areas a real society AMC covers, in the order our crew typically walks them on visit day:

• Basement and parking. Stilt parking, ramp, and the wet edges where water collects. Highest cockroach and rodent activity in any Delhi society.
• Lift wells. Lift shaft base, lift pit, behind the lift control panel. Cockroaches use lift shafts as travel routes between floors.
• Drainage manholes. All access manholes around the building perimeter. Larvicidal during monsoon, residual baiting year-round.
• Garbage room. The single highest-priority area in any society. Heavy gel-bait + sealed rodent stations. We re-check this every visit.
• Perimeter walls. Boundary wall plinth, perimeter gardens, gates, gate-keeper hut, mailroom.
• Central garden / podium. Mosquito control during monsoon, rodent stations along garden edges, larvicidal in any decorative water feature.
• Society gym, community hall, swimming pool deck. Treated under the same AMC at no extra charge for societies under 300 flats.
• Common terrace areas. Especially if there’s pigeon activity or rooftop garbage staging.

What is NOT covered in the common-area AMC: inside individual flats. This is the line that has to be crystal clear in the contract. When a flat owner has cockroaches in their kitchen, that’s a separate booking — but the per-flat discount under the AMC means they pay 25% less than the published residential rate. We’ll talk about how that math works in the dedicated section below.

Real Delhi pricing for society AMC (2026)

Honest 2026 pricing for society common-area AMC, from our actual contract sheet. GST 18% extra. No hidden visit charges within standard Delhi zones.

Two things to know about the numbers above. First — quarterly is the floor. Anything less than 4 visits/year for a Delhi society means meaningful pest pressure builds between visits, especially in the monsoon. Second — the per-flat discount kicks in automatically once the society AMC is signed. Flat owners don’t need to re-negotiate; they just mention the society name when they book and the residential rate drops 25%.

What clauses you MUST include in the contract

Most society AMC contracts in Delhi are 2-page documents written by the vendor. That’s the problem — the vendor writes scope to favour themselves. The RWA should specify scope before signing. Here are the eight clauses every society AMC contract must include:

1. Visit frequency in plain English. “Four visits per contract year, one in each calendar quarter, with at least 75 days between consecutive visits.” Not “quarterly” alone — that’s too vague.
2. Specific common areas covered. List them by name — basement, lift wells, garbage room, perimeter, central garden, gym, community hall. Don’t accept “all common areas” as the scope — that’s where disputes happen later.
3. Chemicals to be used. Names + concentrations. CIB&RC registration numbers in the appendix. Specifically: fipronil 0.05% gel bait for cockroaches, deltamethrin 2.5% SC for residual spray, bromadiolone 0.005% for rodent baiting in sealed stations, temephos 50% EC for larvicidal in standing water, propoxur 1% as alternative cockroach treatment.
4. Photo documentation per visit. Before-and-after photos of high-pressure zones (garbage room, basement, lift well base) attached to the visit report. Most disputes are resolved by photos.
5. Per-flat discount terms. “25% off published residential rates for any individual flat owner mentioning the society name at booking, valid for the full contract year.” Get this in writing.
6. Callback window. “Within 72 hours of a written complaint from the RWA, the contractor will dispatch a crew at no additional cost for spot treatment of the reported area.”
7. Annual report deliverable. Single PDF document at the end of the contract year showing all 4 visits dated, chemicals used, photo evidence, pest activity log per common area, recommended structural fixes if any.
8. Liability clause. Standard professional liability for any property damage or chemical incident during treatment. Most vendors carry this; insist on the written clause.

None of these are aggressive asks. Any serious commercial pest control vendor in Delhi will include all eight when asked. The vendor who balks is the wrong vendor.

What’s optional but worth paying for

Beyond the base AMC, there are four add-ons that experienced RWA secretaries usually take. They cost extra but they pay for themselves in reduced flat-owner complaints.

Pest activity log book per common area. ₹1,500-2,500 add-on for the contract year. We supply a physical log book that the gatekeeper or housekeeping staff records pest sightings in. Quarterly review during the AMC visit. This is the single best early-warning system for societies because the gatekeeper sees everything.

Drainage inspection with camera scope. Once-a-year ₹3,000-5,000 add-on. We run a borescope camera through the society’s common drain stack to identify blockages, breakages, and rodent nesting points. Especially valuable for older DDA societies in Mayur Vihar, Yamuna Vihar, Rohini, and Patparganj where drain stacks have aged poorly.

Mosquito fogging for monsoon. ₹2,500-5,000 per fogging visit. Pre-monsoon (June), peak monsoon (August), post-monsoon (October). Three visits cover the dengue + malaria season effectively. Most societies bundle this into the AMC at a discount.

Rodent baiting station maintenance. ₹2,000-3,500 add-on for premium tamper-proof sealed stations with quarterly bait replenishment. Standard residential bait can be eaten by stray dogs and birds — sealed stations protect both the bait and the wildlife.

For a 100-flat society, the base AMC at ₹18,000 plus these four add-ons typically lands at ₹28,000-32,000/year — still cheaper than monthly AMC at ₹38,000, and arguably better targeted.

Quarterly vs monthly — what makes sense for your society

The single decision every RWA committee struggles with: quarterly or monthly? Honest framing — quarterly is the default. Monthly is for specific high-pressure situations.

Quarterly works fine for: mid-sized residential-only societies (50-200 flats), societies with no ground-floor commercial units, societies in low-density Delhi pockets (Vasant Kunj, Dwarka Phase 2 sectors, Rohini Phase 3 sectors), societies built post-2010 with proper drainage and waste handling, societies with covered garbage rooms and daily collection.

Monthly is the right answer for: societies with a ground-floor commercial block (restaurants, cafes, gyms), societies in older Delhi pockets (Mayur Vihar Phase 1, Yamuna Vihar, Patparganj DDA, Rohini Phase 1), societies with shared drain stacks running through every flat to the basement, societies where one or more flats have confirmed active infestation, societies during heavy monsoon seasons (you can downgrade to quarterly in winter), societies with basement parking that floods during monsoon, restaurant-adjacent residential buildings.

Mid-range option that most Delhi societies actually pick: bi-monthly (6 visits/year). Falls between quarterly and monthly in cost. Common for 100-300 flat societies where quarterly is genuinely too thin but monthly is over-spec.

Per-flat individual job discount — how the math works

Once the society signs an AMC, every flat owner gets 25% off the published KaamGenie residential rate when they book individually. Most RWAs don’t market this clearly, so flat owners don’t know about it. Here’s the math, taken from our actual residential price sheet:

For a 100-flat society where even 30% of flats book one individual treatment a year, the cumulative savings to flat owners is ₹6,000-9,000 — meaningful even before counting the AMC itself. RWAs that publicise the per-flat discount get more buy-in for the AMC at the next AGM.

Common AMC contract red flags

Things we’ve seen in competitor society AMC contracts that an RWA should flag and renegotiate:

• Vague scope. “Pest control for common areas” without listing which areas. Insist on the named list.
• No chemical name in the contract. The vendor reserves the right to switch chemicals based on “requirement.” This means cheaper chemicals will be used and you can’t audit. Insist on named chemicals with CIB&RC numbers.
• No callback window. Means you can complain but the vendor can ignore for weeks. Insist on a written 72-hour response clause.
• No annual report deliverable. Means you have no documentation when re-quoting next year. Insist on a single end-of-year PDF.
• One-year auto-renewal with 90-day notice. Vendor gets the contract on autopilot. Insist on annual renewal with explicit RWA committee approval.
• Generic insurance reference. “Vendor carries insurance.” Insist on certificate of insurance attached as appendix.
• Penalty clauses on the RWA side only. The vendor should bear penalty for missed visits or callback failures.

How to switch AMC providers without service gap

The most common reason RWAs delay switching providers is fear of a service gap during the handover. Honest answer: the handover takes 7-10 days if done correctly, and there is no gap if you time it right.

The handover protocol:

1. Notify the outgoing vendor in writing. 30-day notice as per most contracts. Ask for the final visit to happen within the notice period and the final annual report to be delivered.
2. Request handover documentation. Most recent treatment certificates for the past 12 months, photo log, pest activity log, list of identified harbourage points, any structural fix recommendations.
3. Schedule the new vendor’s site visit. Ideally 2 weeks before the outgoing vendor’s final visit. The new vendor walks the society, reviews the handover documents, and proposes a starting protocol.
4. Sign the new AMC with a start date the day after the outgoing vendor’s final visit. Zero gap.
5. Schedule the new vendor’s first visit 30-45 days after start date. Allows time for trust-building with the RWA and gives the new vendor time to set up the photo log and pest activity log book.
6. Ask the new vendor for a baseline assessment within the first 60 days. What they found, what was missed by the outgoing vendor, what structural recommendations they have.

The fear of a service gap usually doesn’t survive the actual switch. Most RWAs that switch end up wishing they’d done it 12-18 months earlier.
