Malka Ganj is one of North Delhi’s oldest and most tightly packed colonies — a maze of narrow lanes just off Kamla Nagar and GTB Nagar, where old family houses, rented rooms, PGs and ground-floor shops all sit wall to wall. That density is exactly why the pest problems here are relentless. When houses share walls, drains, roofs and staircases, a pest is never really contained to one home — a rat in the sewer line, a cockroach nest under the shop counter or a bed bug in a PG mattress becomes everyone’s problem within a few weeks. The lead complaints we get from Malka Ganj are cockroaches and rats in the packed housing and shops, termite quietly working through the old woodwork, and bed bugs spreading through the student PGs near the campus.
Our crew runs right across North and 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 Malka Ganj. In lanes where a kirana shop or a godown sits on the ground floor and two or three families live above it, cockroaches and rats have everything they need — food, warmth, shared plumbing and a hundred cracks to hide in. Rats come up the sewer lines and through the gaps under shop shutters; German cockroaches ride the shared plumbing risers from the shop kitchen up to the top floor. Because the whole building is connected, treating one flat in isolation rarely holds — the pests just walk back from next door.
We tackle it on two fronts. For cockroaches we use targeted gel-bait treatment in kitchens, bathrooms and behind shop counters — the roaches feed on it and carry it back to the nest, which clears the colony instead of just scattering it the way a spray does. For rats we place tamper-proof rodent bait stations and then seal the entry points — gaps under shutters, along pipe penetrations, shared walls and the drain mouths. In a building this dense the real fix is usually to put the whole structure — shop and flats together — on one plan. Cockroach treatment starts at ₹599 and rodent control at ₹999.
Sitting between Kamla Nagar, GTB Nagar and the Delhi University North Campus, Malka Ganj is full of PGs and student rentals — and that means bed bugs. High tenant turnover is the perfect delivery system: a new arrival brings them in on a bag or a second-hand mattress, and within weeks they’ve spread along the shared wall into the next room. Students often mistake the bites for mosquitoes until the infestation is well established, which is why we get so many late-stage calls from PGs here.
Bed bugs need a proper protocol, not a one-time spray. Our two-visit bed bug treatment covers mattress seams, bed frames, headboards, skirting and every crack they hide in; the second visit, about two weeks later, clears the eggs that survive the first round. Treatment is ₹1,299 per room. For a whole PG, doing all the rooms together and then keeping it on a schedule is what actually breaks the cycle — otherwise the next batch of tenants simply restarts it. We work around exam schedules and can treat rooms in rotation so the PG keeps running.
Many of the houses around Malka Ganj are decades old, built with solid wooden door frames, almirahs, beams and skirting — and termites have been feeding on that woodwork quietly for years in a lot of them. The first sign is usually a door frame that sounds hollow when you tap it, thin mud tubes climbing the wall near the skirting, or a wooden almirah back that crumbles when you press it. Ground-floor rooms sit closest to the soil where termites come up through the wall-floor junction, so they tend to go first, but in these old shared buildings they travel upward through the structure too.
We treat it with anti-termite chemical injection — drilling small, discreet holes and injecting CIB&RC-approved chemical into the affected woodwork and along the wall-floor junction, then sealing the holes back up. Nothing has to be torn out, which matters in an old family home full of heavy wooden furniture. A single house or floor usually starts around ₹2,499 depending on how much woodwork needs treating.
Once the monsoon arrives, the narrow Malka Ganj lanes, the choked roadside drains and the old overhead tanks on the rooftops all start holding water — and that is all a mosquito needs to breed. North Delhi has a long dengue history, so from June onward our mosquito control (thermal fogging plus larvae treatment of standing water) is in steady demand here, both for individual homes and for building common areas and PG terraces. 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.
In a colony this dense, a one-off treatment only goes so far — pests come straight back from the shop below, the neighbour’s kitchen 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 a PG it keeps bed bugs and cockroaches from re-establishing every time tenants change; for a building with shops below and flats above it covers the common risers and drains so rats and roaches don’t keep re-entering; and for shops it keeps you inspection-ready with audit-ready records. A whole building or a row of shops can be bundled together. Base AMC starts at ₹2,999/year, quoted by size.

Malka Ganj is a dense old colony where houses share walls, drains and roofs, so pests never really belong to one home — they move between the shop below, the neighbour’s kitchen and the shared sewer line. That’s why a one-off spray fades fast. We treat cockroaches with targeted gel bait that they carry back to the nest, place tamper-proof rodent bait stations, and seal the entry points along shutters, pipe gaps and shared walls. In a packed lane the lasting fix is usually a shared AMC so the whole building is covered at once. Cockroach treatment starts at ₹599 and rodent control at ₹999.
Yes — this is one of our most common jobs in Malka Ganj. The PGs and student rentals near GTB Nagar, Kamla Nagar and the DU North Campus have high tenant turnover, so bed bugs travel in on bags and mattresses and spread room to room. We run a two-visit bed bug protocol treating mattress seams, bed frames, skirting and cracks, with the second visit clearing eggs that survive the first. Bed bug treatment is ₹1,299 per room, and for a full PG we can do all the rooms together and put it on a schedule so new arrivals don’t restart the problem.
Yes. The older houses around Malka Ganj have solid wooden door frames, almirahs, beams and skirting that termites feed on quietly for years. We treat it with anti-termite chemical injection — drilling small, discreet holes and injecting CIB&RC-approved chemical into the affected woodwork and the wall-floor junction, then sealing the holes. Nothing has to be torn out. A single house or floor usually starts around ₹2,499 depending on how much woodwork needs treating.
Yes. The ground-floor shops and godowns along Malka Ganj and towards Roshanara Road keep rodents and cockroaches well-fed, and from there they climb into the homes above. For shops and any food business we run commercial pest control with tamper-proof rodent stations, cockroach gel and entry sealing, on a monthly or fortnightly schedule with audit-ready records and a GST invoice. A row of shops or a whole building can be bundled onto one AMC, which works far better than each unit treating on its own.
Yes. We use only CIB&RC-approved chemicals with pet-safe and child-safe protocols. In homes with kids, elderly members or pets we prefer targeted gel baits over open sprays wherever possible, and we tell you how long to keep the treated area clear — usually just a few hours. In a joint-family house you don’t need to move everyone out; just let the crew know who is at home so they plan the treatment around it.
