General Pest Control in Delhi

What general pest control covers (combo package)

General pest control is our most-booked package because it handles the pests that turn up across almost every Delhi home in one single visit. Instead of waiting until you spot a problem and paying for a single-pest treatment, the combo treats the seven everyday household pests proactively — with one crew, one chemical kit, and one round of follow-up. Here’s what’s in scope:

• Cockroach — gel bait stations placed in kitchen cabinets, behind the fridge, under the sink and inside electrical points. Residual spray on plumbing voids and bathroom drain entries.
• Ant infestation — trail-tracing along skirting, kitchen platforms and balcony joints. Residual liquid that ants carry back to the colony.
• Spider — corner-sweep of ceiling joints, behind furniture, balcony grills and storeroom corners. Web removal plus residual spray to prevent re-webbing.
• Lizard — perimeter spray on window frames, balcony walls and exhaust vents. Lizards leave when the small insects they feed on are knocked out, so this benefits from the same cockroach + ant treatment.
• Housefly — residual liquid on entry points, garbage zones and bathroom windows. Optional fly bait paste in the utility area.
• Monsoon mosquito — fogging or low-pressure spray in storerooms, behind heavy furniture, and around drains and balconies where stagnant micro-pools form.
• Occasional centipede — bathroom drain treatment plus skirting residual.

Not covered in this combo (sold as separate services because they need different chemicals and protocols): termite treatment, bed bug treatment, and rodent control (rats and mice). If any of these are also a problem, mention them when you book and we’ll quote them alongside the combo.

Why Delhi homes need pest control twice a year

Delhi’s climate is a year-round pest problem dressed up as four seasons. Each season pushes a different pest to peak activity, and the windows overlap in ways that quietly rebuild infestations between visits.

Summer (April-June) — cockroach surge. Heat speeds up cockroach breeding cycles. A single female German cockroach can produce 300-400 offspring in a season, and Delhi’s peak summer is exactly the right temperature for the eggs to mature in 28-30 days instead of the cooler-month 60. By June, what was “the odd cockroach” in March is a kitchen with night-time activity behind the fridge and inside cabinet hinges.

Monsoon (July-August) — ants and housefly. Rain pushes ant colonies indoors looking for dry ground. The same water that pools in balconies and society drains becomes housefly breeding territory. Open kitchens and shared society garbage zones make it worse.

Post-monsoon (September-October) — mosquito peak. This is the single most important window. Standing water from the monsoon plus warm-humid weather creates Delhi’s dengue and chikungunya breeding pulse. The Aedes mosquito breeds in tiny pools — the rim of a flower pot, an unused balcony bucket, the saucer under a money plant. Post-monsoon pest control is the one visit you shouldn’t skip.

Winter (November-February) — spider, lizard, and sheltered cockroach. Cooler weather drives pests deeper into your home — cabinets, storerooms, behind appliances and inside boxed-up winter clothing. The activity looks quieter but the colonies are still consolidating.

For most Delhi homes, twice a year is the minimum: one pre-monsoon visit (March-April) and one post-monsoon visit (September-October). Quarterly — every three months — is the right cadence if you have kids, pets, allergies, or a society block with chronic pest issues.

Our 6-step general pest control process

Same six steps for every general pest control job. No room is skipped and no chemical goes on a surface before the technician explains it to you.

1. Inspection — technician walks every room with a flashlight, opens cabinets, checks behind the fridge, lifts edges of carpets, and notes the pest evidence. You walk along and point out problem zones.
2. Identify infestation areas and entry points — the crew marks the cockroach hot zones (cabinet hinges, plumbing voids), ant trails (kitchen platforms, balcony joints), spider corners and external entry points (window frames, exhaust vents, AC pipe holes).
3. Chemical selection by room — different rooms get different formulations. Kitchen uses food-area-safe residuals plus gel bait. Bedroom uses low-odour residual. Bathroom gets drain treatment plus residual on skirting. We tell you exactly what’s going where before any spray starts.
4. Spray and gel bait application — residual liquid applied with low-pressure compression sprayer to cracks, crevices and skirting. Gel bait stations placed in kitchen for cockroach. No fogging in living areas unless mosquito treatment is included.
5. Safety briefing — written reminder of which rooms to keep closed, for how long, when you can mop, what not to clean for 15-20 days (don’t scrub the gel bait spots), and what to do if pets accidentally come in contact.
6. Photo documentation and treatment record — before/after photos of treated zones sent to your WhatsApp, plus a written treatment record listing the chemicals used, dose, technician name, and the 15-day service recovery window.

Total time for a standard 2 BHK: 45-60 minutes. 3 BHK or builder floor: 75-90 minutes. Kothi or whole bungalow: 2 hours.

CIB&RC-approved chemicals and pet-safe protocols

Every chemical we use is approved by the Central Insecticides Board and Registration Committee (CIB&RC) — the Government of India body that vets pesticides for label use, dose limits and indoor residential safety. We never use unlabelled chemicals, never use agricultural-grade pesticides indoors, and never exceed the label dose.

The practical safety protocol families need to follow:

• Stay out of treated rooms for 4-6 hours after spraying. This is the surface-bonding window for the residual chemical. After that, the room is safe to enter normally.
• Pets out for 4-6 hours minimum. Cats are more sensitive than dogs because they groom themselves and ingest residue if they walk on freshly sprayed surfaces. Take pets to a neighbour or keep them in one untreated room while the rest of the home is being treated.
• Cover fish tanks with a tight lid or sheet, and switch off the aerator pump for the duration of the treatment. Many pest control chemicals are toxic to fish even in trace amounts.
• Don’t mop floors with water for 24 hours. Water washes off the residual chemical before it can do its job. Wiping kitchen platforms is fine after 4 hours — we’ll mark the spots to leave alone.
• Pregnant women and infants should stay out of the home during treatment and return after 6 hours minimum. Same principle: the residue is safe once it bonds to surfaces, but the brief application window has airborne particles you don’t want anyone inhaling unnecessarily.
• Open windows for 30 minutes after the crew leaves to clear any residual odour. After that, normal use resumes.

The crew gives this briefing on arrival, repeats the key points before leaving, and leaves the written safety reminder on your kitchen counter.

Where pests typically hide in Delhi homes

Knowing the hiding spots helps you understand why “just spray the kitchen” rarely solves the problem long-term. Pests use the whole house even if you only see them in one room.

Kitchen. The hot zone for almost every infestation. Cockroaches hide inside cabinet hinges, behind the toaster, under the gas stove platform, inside electrical points and behind the fridge motor. Ants form trails along the back of countertops, around the sugar jar, and into pet food bowls. Spider corners build behind tall cabinets and inside the utility-area ceiling. This is where most of our gel bait and residual goes.

Bedroom. Mostly used by spiders, the odd housefly, and lizards near the window. Bed bug infestations are NOT covered in general pest control — if you suspect bed bugs (small red bites in a line, dark spots on mattress seams), book the separate bed bug treatment because the chemicals and re-visit cadence are very different. For general pest control, bedrooms get a light residual on skirting, corners and behind the headboard.

Bathroom. Cockroaches breed in floor drains and behind the toilet cistern. Mosquito larvae thrive in any standing water — bucket bases, the gap behind the washing machine, unused floor traps. The bathroom gets drain treatment, residual on skirting, and a low-pressure spray on the ceiling corners.

Living room. Ant trails track from balcony joints into the carpet edges. Occasional spiders behind heavy furniture and inside the ceiling fan recess. Sofa undersides collect dust and stray crumbs that attract small insects. Living room gets perimeter spray plus targeted treatment of the balcony entry points.

Storeroom and utility. Often skipped by quick-spray operators, but these are the rooms where pests winter and consolidate colonies. Cardboard boxes, stored fabrics and tools become spider and silverfish territory. Full residual treatment of the storeroom is included in every general pest control job.

AMC quarterly cleaning — the recommended cadence for Delhi

One-off pest control treats the problem you can see today. Annual Maintenance Contract (AMC) pest control is the cadence that prevents the problem from rebuilding. For Delhi specifically, this matters because the seasonal pest cycle is unusually aggressive.

Our standard AMC is four visits per year — one every three months — with the post-monsoon visit treated as the priority slot:

• Visit 1 (March-April) — pre-summer reset. Knock out the winter-consolidated cockroach and spider colonies before summer breeding accelerates.
• Visit 2 (June) — mid-summer boost. Cockroach activity peaks. Light treatment focused on kitchen and bathroom.
• Visit 3 (September-October) — the most important visit of the year. Post-monsoon mosquito breeding window. Full home + balcony + storeroom + drain treatment with fogging in shared society areas if requested.
• Visit 4 (December-January) — winter sweep. Spider corners, lizards near windows and any consolidated cockroach pockets in storerooms.

Annual contract pricing saves 15-20% versus four separate one-off bookings. AMC customers also get free re-treatment within 15 days of any visit (instead of the standard service recovery window per booking), priority slots during peak season, and a written cleaning record useful for tenant agreements and society audits.
