Zakir Nagar is about as packed as Delhi gets — tall, narrow buildings sitting wall-to-wall right beside Jamia Millia Islamia, in the Okhla belt next to Batla House, with New Friends Colony just across the way. Most of the stock is rental: flats and rooms let out to Jamia students, exam aspirants and migrant families, with eateries, bakeries and shops filling the ground floors. That density decides the pest mix. German cockroaches are everywhere because kitchens sit close together and share drain and water lines. Bed bugs spread fast through the constant tenant churn. Rats follow the street food. And once the monsoon arrives, the nearness of Okhla and the Yamuna brings mosquitoes.
Our crew is based right here in the Okhla — Jamia Nagar belt, 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 everyday Zakir Nagar job. With buildings standing shoulder to shoulder and kitchens stacked one above another, German cockroaches don’t respect the line between your flat and the next — they travel along shared water pipes, drain lines and the gaps around the kitchen riser. That’s why a family that scrubs the kitchen every night still finds roaches behind the gas stove: they’re re-entering from the neighbour’s wall. Open-spray fixes last a week at most. We use targeted gel-bait cockroach treatment placed along cabinet runs, hinges, the back of the stove and bathroom corners, which the roaches eat and carry back to the nest. For a building where several rented flats are affected, treating the floors together is what actually holds. Cockroach treatment for a single flat starts at ₹599.
Zakir Nagar runs on rented rooms, and that movement is exactly how bed bugs spread — mattresses changing hands, second-hand furniture, students and workers arriving with bags from elsewhere, and rooms packed close together. One infested room quietly seeds the next. Our bed bug treatment is a two-visit protocol 10-14 days apart, because the first round kills the live bugs but the eggs hatch later, and the second visit catches them. We work mattress seams, bed frame joints, skirting and wall cracks room by room. For a landlord or a whole building, treating all the rooms together is cheaper per room and stops the bugs simply walking next door between tenants. Starts at ₹1,299 per room.
Rats go where the food is, and in Zakir Nagar the food is everywhere — the dhabas, bakeries, juice corners and grocery shops lining the lanes feed a steady rodent population. They nest in drains and wall cavities by day and move into the ground-floor flats and the shops above at night, gnawing wires and packaging. We handle it with tamper-proof rodent bait stations and by sealing the entry points along drains, door gaps and service ducts, so they can’t simply walk back in from the next shop. For the eateries themselves we run the same work on a regular schedule with audit-ready records. Rodent control starts at ₹999.
Zakir Nagar sits in the Okhla belt close to the Yamuna, so when the monsoon stagnates water in roadside drains, overhead tanks and the open plots around the colony, mosquitoes breed fast — and this side of Delhi has a long dengue history. In a place this dense, fogging one building only helps so much, so from June onward our mosquito control pairs thermal fogging with larvae treatment of the standing water and tanks that actually breed them. It works best when a cluster of neighbouring buildings books together. From ₹699.
Termite isn’t the headline here the way it is in the old DDA colonies, but the ground-floor and lower-floor units see it — they sit close to the damp soil, and the door frames, window frames and built-in almirahs in the older buildings give termites plenty to feed on. They work quietly for years before anyone spots a hollow-sounding frame or the thin mud tubes near the skirting. We treat it with anti-termite chemical injection, drilling and injecting CIB&RC-approved chemical into the affected woodwork and the wall-floor junction, flat by flat. A single flat usually starts around ₹2,499 depending on how much area needs treating.
The price quoted on the call is what you pay — no surprise additions when the technician arrives.
In Zakir Nagar a one-off treatment only goes so far — cockroaches, bed bugs and rats keep moving back through shared pipes, stairwells and the next rented room. An annual maintenance contract covers four quarterly visits, free re-treatments in between, scheduled reminders, and one consolidated GST invoice. For a landlord with several rooms, or a whole building, we can bundle the kitchens, common stairs, terrace tanks and each rented unit together so pests don’t just bounce back. The same AMC works for the dhabas, bakeries and food shops, which need regular visits with audit-ready records to stay FSSAI-compliant. Base AMC starts at ₹2,999/year, quoted by building size.

In Zakir Nagar’s tightly packed buildings, German cockroaches move between flats through shared water pipes, drain lines and gaps around the kitchen risers, so even a spotless kitchen gets re-infested from a neighbour’s. We use targeted gel bait along cabinet runs, hinges and bathroom corners, which the roaches carry back to the nest. For a whole building or a stacked set of rental flats, treating the affected floors together holds far better than one flat alone. Cockroach treatment starts at ₹599.
Bed bugs need a two-visit protocol about 10-14 days apart to break the egg-hatching cycle. We treat mattress seams, bed frame joints, skirting and cracks room by room. With the constant student and migrant churn in Zakir Nagar rentals, treating all the rooms in a building together is cheaper per room and stops the bugs simply walking next door as tenants move in and out. Starts at ₹1,299 per room.
Yes. The dhabas, bakeries and food shops along Zakir Nagar’s lanes draw rats and cockroaches, and the floors above them feel it too. We run FSSAI-compliant commercial visits for food businesses — tamper-proof rodent bait stations, gel-bait cockroach treatment and entry sealing, on a monthly or fortnightly schedule with audit-ready records and a GST invoice. Pricing is a custom quote based on kitchen size.
Yes. We use only CIB&RC-approved chemicals with child-safe and pet-safe protocols. For kitchens and homes with kids 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 about the children when they arrive and we’ll plan the treatment around it.
Yes. Our AMC covers four quarterly visits with free re-treatments between visits, scheduled reminders, and one consolidated GST invoice. In Zakir Nagar’s stacked buildings it works far better than one-off jobs, because cockroaches, bed bugs and rats keep moving through shared pipes, stairwells and adjoining rentals. We can cover the kitchens, common stairs, terrace tanks and each rented room together. Base AMC starts at ₹2,999/year and is quoted by building size.
