Civil Lines is one of Delhi’s oldest and greenest addresses — a historic North Delhi zone of colonial-era bungalows, tree-lined avenues, colleges and hostels, government offices and settled riverside colonies stretching down towards the Yamuna. That heritage character is exactly why the pest problems here are unlike a modern apartment block. The big bungalows were built with heavy teak door frames, window shutters, panelled almirahs and wooden staircases — and after decades in the ground, termites have been working through that woodwork silently. The ridge trees, the river greens and the large garden plots keep mosquitoes breeding hard through the monsoon. And the colleges, hostels and government office canteens keep cockroaches and rats fed year-round.
Our crew runs right across North & Central Delhi, so once you book we’re usually at your gate 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.
This is the headline job in Civil Lines. The colonial-era bungalows here were built to last, with solid teak and deodar door frames, tall window shutters, panelled almirahs, wooden staircases and thick skirting — and that heavy old woodwork is exactly what subterranean termites live for. Because the houses have been standing for generations, colonies have often been feeding quietly for years by the time anyone notices. The first signs are usually a door frame that sounds hollow when you tap it, thin mud tubes climbing the plinth or the skirting, or a fine dusting of wood powder under an almirah. Ground-floor rooms and anything close to the garden soil tend to go first, because that is where termites come up through the wall-floor junction. We treat it with anti-termite chemical injection — drilling and injecting CIB&RC-approved chemical into the affected woodwork, the wall-floor junction and, where needed, the soil around the plinth to break the colony’s route in. On a large bungalow we survey the whole house first, because it is far cheaper to treat the woodwork than to replace a carved frame or a staircase later. A treatment usually starts around ₹2,499 and scales with the area covered.
Civil Lines sits close to the Yamuna river greens, the old ridge trees and some of the largest private gardens in North Delhi — beautiful, but a serious mosquito reservoir once the monsoon arrives. Garden pots and saucers, birdbaths, ornamental ponds and unused fountains, choked boundary drains and the water that pools on low riverside ground all hold exactly the still water mosquitoes need to breed. North Delhi has a long dengue and chikungunya history, so from June onward our mosquito control — thermal fogging of the garden, boundary and outbuildings, plus larvae treatment of every water-holding spot — is in steady demand across Civil Lines, for bungalows, colony homes and college hostels alike. Treating the breeding sites rather than just fogging the air is what actually brings the numbers down and keeps them down. From ₹699, with large plots quoted by area.
Civil Lines is an institution hub — colleges, student hostels, government offices and their canteens sit through the zone, and all of them are warm, food-rich environments that cockroaches and rats settle into. Canteen and pantry kitchens draw German cockroaches; stores, record rooms and the gaps around old service ducts give rats a run of the building. For these we run commercial pest control — targeted gel-bait cockroach treatment in kitchens and pantries, and tamper-proof rodent bait stations with entry sealing along ducts and store rooms — on a scheduled monthly, quarterly or AMC basis, done after hours so classes and office work aren’t disrupted, with audit-ready records and a GST invoice. Homes near the institutions get the same treatment at residential pricing, with cockroach control from ₹599.
Behind the bungalows and institutions, Civil Lines has plenty of older colony flats and settled residential blocks, and their decades-old plumbing risers, drain lines and wall cavities are where German cockroaches nest and travel from flat to flat. That is why roaches come back in an old kitchen no matter how spotless you keep it — the source is inside the building fabric, not on your counter. We treat with targeted gel bait in kitchens and bathrooms, which the roaches carry back to the nest rather than scattering the way a spray does. Where the whole building is affected, treating the common risers together or putting the block on an AMC is what actually holds. Old ground-floor units and store rooms also see rats from the drains and garden edges, which we handle with sealed bait stations and entry-point sealing. Cockroach treatment starts at ₹599 and rodent control at ₹999.
The price quoted on the call is what you pay — no surprise additions when the technician arrives.
For a heritage bungalow with a lot of woodwork, or for a college, hostel or office, a one-off treatment only goes so far — termites, mosquitoes off the greens and roaches from the canteen keep coming back. An annual maintenance contract covers four quarterly visits, free re-treatments in between, scheduled reminders, and one consolidated GST invoice. For a bungalow it keeps the anti-termite protection and monsoon mosquito rounds on schedule; for institutions and offices it gives you regular documented visits with audit-ready records; and for an old colony block it covers the shared risers so cockroaches and rats don’t keep re-entering. A whole building or campus can be bundled together. Base AMC starts at ₹2,999/year, quoted by size.

This is our most common job in Civil Lines. The colonial-era bungalows here have heavy teak door and window frames, panelled almirahs, staircases and skirting that termites feed on quietly for years. We drill and inject CIB&RC-approved anti-termite chemical into the affected woodwork and along the wall-floor junction, and where the soil around the plinth is the source we treat that too. Because these are large bungalows with a lot of woodwork, we survey the whole house first and quote by the area treated — a bungalow usually starts around ₹2,499 and scales up with size.
Yes. Civil Lines sits close to the Yamuna river greens, the old ridge trees and large garden plots, so standing water in garden pots, birdbaths, unused fountains and choked drains breeds mosquitoes heavily once the monsoon arrives. We do thermal fogging of the garden, boundary and outbuildings plus larvae treatment of every water-holding spot, because treating the breeding sites — not just fogging the air — is what actually cuts the numbers. Mosquito control starts at ₹699, and large plots or a whole colony stretch are quoted by area.
Yes. We run commercial pest control for the colleges, hostels, canteens and government offices around Civil Lines — targeted cockroach gel in canteen kitchens and pantries, tamper-proof rodent stations along stores and record rooms, and scheduled visits done after hours so classes and office work aren’t disrupted. It comes with audit-ready records, a GST invoice and CIB&RC-approved chemicals, on a monthly, quarterly or AMC basis. Pricing is a custom quote based on the size of the campus or office.
The older buildings and colony flats in Civil Lines have decades-old plumbing risers, drain lines and wall cavities that German cockroaches nest in and move through, so they return even when your own kitchen is spotless. We use targeted gel bait in kitchens and bathrooms, which the roaches carry back to the nest rather than scattering the way a spray does, and for a whole building we treat the common risers together or put it on an AMC. Cockroach treatment starts at ₹599.
Yes. We use only CIB&RC-approved chemicals with pet-safe and child-safe protocols. For homes with kids or pets we prefer targeted gel baits over open sprays where possible, and for anti-termite drilling and injection the chemical goes into the woodwork and floor junction, not into open living space. We’ll tell you how long to keep a treated room clear (usually a few hours) — just let the crew know about the children and dog when they arrive.
