Chandni Chowk is Old Delhi’s historic wholesale engine — the Khari Baoli spice market (Asia’s largest), the grain and dry-fruit godowns, the cloth and wedding bazaars, the famous food streets, and the havelis where families still live on the floors above their shops. Nowhere else in the city packs this much stored food, this much footfall and this much old timber into a few square kilometres, and that is exactly why the pest picture here is unlike a quiet residential colony. The wholesale food stock in Khari Baoli and the endless eateries down the paratha and chaat lanes keep rats and cockroaches permanently fed, and from the shops they climb straight into the homes above. The havelis and century-old buildings are full of solid wooden beams and frames that termites work through quietly. And every monsoon the choked drains, blocked chajjas and unused overhead tanks across the old lanes turn into mosquito-breeding grounds.
Our crew runs right across North & Central Delhi, so once you book we’re usually at your shutter the same day or the next morning. Every treatment uses CIB&RC-approved chemicals, with pet-safe and child-safe handling, and we send before-and-after photos on WhatsApp so you have a record for yourself and for any FSSAI file.
This is the headline job in Chandni Chowk. The spice godowns of Khari Baoli, the grain and dry-fruit wholesalers, and the sack-stacked storerooms behind the shopfronts are a rodent’s paradise — open stock, constant deliveries, and connecting walls between shop after shop. A single infested godown feeds a whole row, and gnawed sacks mean spoiled stock and rejected orders. Baiting alone never fixes this. We run heavy-duty rodent control built for wholesale premises: tamper-proof bait stations placed through the shop and godown, then systematic entry sealing along shutters, drains, service ducts and the shared walls between adjoining units, so rats can’t simply cross from next door. For a run of wholesale shops or a market block, a shared AMC works far better and cheaper than one-off calls, and it keeps documented, audit-ready records for the shop file. Rodent control starts at ₹999, with commercial jobs quoted by size.
Chandni Chowk’s food streets — the paratha lanes, the jalebi and sweet corners, the chaat and kachori stalls, the biryani and cloud kitchens tucked into the galis — are warm, food-rich and open long hours, which is everything cockroaches live for. For any food business here we run FSSAI-compliant commercial pest control: targeted gel-bait cockroach treatment across kitchens, prep areas and storage, plus tamper-proof rodent stations, on a monthly or fortnightly schedule done after closing so trade isn’t disrupted. Every visit is backed by audit-ready records, a GST invoice and before/after photos — exactly the documentation an FSSAI inspector asks a sweet shop or eatery to produce. Homes and kitchens above the shops get the same gel-bait treatment at residential pricing, with cockroach control from ₹599.
Old Delhi’s vertical living is its hidden pest cost: a wholesale shop or eatery on the ground floor and a family home two floors up share the same walls, plumbing risers and drains, so cockroaches and rats move up no matter how spotless your own kitchen is. We treat the homes with targeted gel bait in kitchens and bathrooms, which the roaches carry back to the nest rather than scattering the way a spray does, and we bait and seal for rodents at the points where they enter from the shop below. Where the source is clearly the premises downstairs, the lasting fix is to treat both together or to put the whole building on an AMC so the common risers and drains are covered too. A single home’s cockroach treatment starts at ₹599; rodent work from ₹999.
Step off the main bazaar into the residential lanes — the katras and old havelis around Dariba, Kinari Bazar and the by-lanes — and you are surrounded by decades-old timber: wooden beams, jharokhas, carved door frames, staircases and almirahs that termites have often been feeding on for years. The first sign is usually a hollow-sounding beam or door frame, or thin mud tubes climbing a wall near the skirting. Ground and first floors sit closest to the soil where termites come up through the wall-floor junction, so they tend to go first. We treat with anti-termite chemical injection — drilling and injecting CIB&RC-approved chemical into the affected woodwork and the wall-floor junction, done floor by floor so a shop below and the home above can both be covered. A single haveli floor usually starts around ₹2,499 depending on how much woodwork needs treating.
When the monsoon arrives, the narrow lanes of Chandni Chowk hold water everywhere — choked roadside drains, blocked chajjas and terrace parapets, and the unused overhead tanks on the old buildings — and that is all a mosquito needs to breed. Central and Old Delhi have a long dengue history, so from June onward our mosquito control (thermal fogging plus larvae treatment of standing water) is in steady demand across the area, for homes, katras and market common areas alike. Treating the breeding sites, not just fogging the air, is what actually brings the numbers down. From ₹699.
The price quoted on the call is what you pay — no surprise additions when the technician arrives.
For a wholesale-market building, a one-off treatment only goes so far — rats and roaches come straight back from the shop next door, the eatery downstairs and the shared drain. An annual maintenance contract covers four quarterly visits, free re-treatments in between, scheduled reminders, and one consolidated GST invoice. For sweet shops, eateries and food wholesalers it keeps you FSSAI-ready with audit-ready records and regular documented visits; for the havelis and homes above, it covers the common risers and drains so pests don’t keep re-entering. A row of Khari Baoli shops or a whole building can be bundled together on one contract. Base AMC starts at ₹2,999/year, quoted by size.

Yes. The food belt around Chandni Chowk — the paratha lanes, sweet shops, chaat corners and cloud kitchens — is exactly where FSSAI inspectors look hardest. We run FSSAI-compliant commercial pest control with targeted cockroach gel and tamper-proof rodent stations on a monthly or fortnightly schedule, done after closing hours so trade isn’t disrupted, backed by audit-ready records, a GST invoice and before/after photos, using CIB&RC-approved chemicals. Pricing is a custom quote based on kitchen size and footfall.
Khari Baoli spice godowns and grain stores sit right on top of the rodents’ food supply, so baiting alone never holds. We place tamper-proof rodent bait stations through the shop and godown, then seal the entry points — gaps under shutters, along drains, service ducts and the shared walls between adjoining shops — so they can’t just walk back in from next door. For a row of wholesale shops a shared AMC works far better and cheaper than one-off visits. Rodent control starts at ₹999.
Yes. The havelis and old buildings off the main bazaar have decades of solid wooden beams, jharokhas, door frames and staircases, and termite works through them quietly. We treat with CIB&RC-approved anti-termite injection — drilling and injecting into the affected woodwork and the wall-floor junction — done floor by floor so a shop below and the home above can both be covered. A single haveli floor usually starts around ₹2,499 depending on how much woodwork needs treating.
In Old Delhi the shop or eatery downstairs and the home above share the same walls, plumbing risers and drains, so German cockroaches move up through cracks and pipes no matter how clean your kitchen is. We use targeted gel bait in your kitchen and bathrooms, which the roaches carry back to the nest instead of scattering the way a spray does. Where the source is the shop below, treating both together — or putting the building on an AMC — is what actually holds. Cockroach treatment starts at ₹599.
Yes. We use only CIB&RC-approved chemicals with pet-safe and child-safe protocols. For kitchens and homes with kids or elderly family we prefer targeted gel baits over open sprays where possible, and we tell you how long to keep the treated area clear — usually a few hours. Just let the crew know who is at home when they arrive and they’ll plan the treatment around it.
