General Questions

Yes. We use government-approved products applied by trained technicians in cracks, crevices and targeted zones out of reach of children and pets. For extra-sensitive homes we offer a herbal, zero-odour treatment line. Any brief ventilation window needed is explained clearly before we start.

Pricing depends on the pest, property size and infestation level. As a guide: cockroach gel treatment starts at ₹799 for a 1BHK, bed bug treatment (two services) from ₹1,499, and termite treatment is priced per square foot. Call or WhatsApp us on 98804 82592 for an exact quote — inspections are free.

For most treatments — gel baiting, herbal services, bird netting — you can stay home. For residual sprays we recommend keeping rooms ventilated and staying out of treated rooms for 3–4 hours until surfaces dry. Your technician will confirm the exact window for your service.

We offer same-day service across most of Bangalore and work 7 days a week, 7 AM to 9 PM. Sunday and evening slots are popular with working families — book a day ahead when possible.

Yes. Cockroach treatment carries a 90-day warranty, bed bug treatment 45 days after the second service, and termite barrier treatment up to 5 years with a written certificate. If the pest returns within the warranty period, we re-treat free of charge.

A one-time service solves the current problem with its own warranty. An Annual Maintenance Contract (AMC) includes four scheduled quarterly visits plus free call-outs in between, priority booking, and works out significantly cheaper for year-round protection.

Very little is needed. For gel treatments — nothing at all. For sprays, cover or put away open food and pet bowls, and give us access to skirting and corners. For bed bug service, we will ask you to launder bedding on the day of treatment. Your booking confirmation includes a simple checklist.

All of Bangalore — including Whitefield, Koramangala, HSR Layout, Electronic City, Indiranagar, JP Nagar, Jayanagar, Marathahalli, Bellandur, Hebbal, Yelahanka and Sarjapur Road. See our Areas We Serve page for details on your neighbourhood.

Cockroach Control View service →

You will notice a sharp drop in activity within 3–5 days, and complete elimination typically takes 7–14 days as the bait cascades through the colony.

No. Gel treatment is applied to hinges, corners and crevices, so you do not need to empty cabinets, cover food or leave the house.

Yes. We place the gel in cracks and crevices that children and pets cannot reach, and the products we use are government-approved for indoor domestic use.

Termite Treatment View service →

Look for mud tubes on walls, hollow-sounding wood, powdery residue near skirting, or swarming winged insects after rain. Our inspection is free, so call us if you notice any of these signs.

A full drill-fill-seal barrier treatment protects for 3–5 years depending on soil conditions. We provide a written warranty and offer annual top-up inspections.

No. Holes are only 12mm wide, drilled discreetly at the wall-floor junction, and sealed with colour-matched cement after injection.

Bed Bug Treatment View service →

Bed bug eggs are resistant to insecticides and hatch 7–12 days after treatment. Without a mandatory second service to kill hatching nymphs, the infestation always rebounds. Our package includes the second round.

Almost never. We treat mattress seams and cot frames thoroughly; disposal is only advised in extreme, long-neglected infestations.

Ventilate for 3–4 hours after each service. Once surfaces are dry, the room is safe for the whole family the same night.

Rodent Control View service →

Our trap-first indoor strategy removes rodents physically. Outdoor bait stations use slow-acting anticoagulants that drive rodents to their burrows, so odour inside the house is very unlikely.

Yes. All rodenticide is locked inside tamper-resistant stations that pets and children cannot open, and indoor control relies on traps rather than poison.

Most homes see activity stop within 1–2 weeks. Full control including proofing and follow-up is typically achieved within 3 weeks.

Mosquito Control View service →

Fogging knocks down adult mosquitoes instantly but new ones fly in within days — that is why we pair it with larviciding and residual spray, which protect for 2–4 weeks. Monthly service is ideal in peak season.

Yes, when done correctly. We fog outdoor and common areas at label-approved doses; children and pets should simply stay indoors during application and for about 30 minutes after.

Yes. We run monthly RWA programs covering gardens, basements, shafts and common areas, with larviciding of drains and a service report after every visit.

Ant Control View service →

Sprays only kill the foragers you can see and repel the rest, sometimes splitting the colony into several new nests. Baits that reach the queen are the only permanent solution — that is our approach.

You will see ants feeding on the bait for 2–4 days — do not disturb them. The colony typically collapses within 5–10 days.

Yes. Fire ant mounds are drench-treated directly and we apply granular bait across the lawn to reach satellite colonies.

Spider Control View service →

The vast majority are harmless daddy-long-legs and house spiders. Genuinely medically significant spiders are rare here — the main issues are webs, staining and general hygiene.

After de-webbing plus residual treatment, most homes stay web-free for 3–4 months. Quarterly service keeps them permanently clear.

Yes. We handle villas, duplex stairwells, glass façades and warehouse ceilings with extendable de-webbing equipment.

Bird Netting & Control View service →

No. We use translucent, thin-gauge UV-stabilised nets that are nearly invisible from a short distance and do not obstruct light or airflow.

Not at all. Netting and spikes are pure exclusion — they prevent landing and nesting without trapping or injuring birds.

Our UV-stabilised HDPE nets typically last 5+ years in Bangalore weather. Fittings are stainless steel and rust-free.

General Pest Control View service →

Cockroaches, black and red ants, spiders, silverfish and other common crawling insects. Termites, bed bugs, mosquitoes and rodents need specialised treatments, which we also provide.

For Bangalore's climate we recommend quarterly service — our AMC covers four visits a year with free call-outs in between if pests reappear.

Yes. Our herbal treatment line is zero-odour and made from plant extracts, ideal for families with infants or respiratory concerns.
