Termite Control
Get answers about termite treatment and protection.
What are the signs of a termite infestation?
Common signs include mud tubes on walls, hollow-sounding wood, damaged door frames, discarded wings near windows and small piles of wood dust.
What types of termite treatment do you offer?
We offer pre-construction termite treatment, post-construction drilling and injection, and targeted wood treatment, chosen after a proper inspection.
How long does termite treatment last?
A professional termite treatment usually protects your property for several years. The exact period depends on the method, soil condition and property type, and is covered in your warranty.
Is pre-construction termite treatment necessary?
Yes, it is strongly recommended. Treating the soil before construction creates a barrier that protects the building from termites for years and is easier than treating later.
Can termite treatment be done in an existing building?
Yes. We use post-construction drilling and chemical injection along walls and floors to create a protective barrier without major damage to the building.
Pest Control & Fumigation
Questions about general pest control and fumigation services.
Which pests are included in general pest control?
General pest control covers common crawling insects such as cockroaches, ants, spiders, silverfish and similar household pests.
What is the difference between spray and fogging?
Spray targets cracks, corners and surfaces where pests hide, while fogging spreads fine droplets through the air to reach flying insects and wide open areas.
How often should I get pest control done?
For most homes, a treatment every 3 to 6 months keeps pests under control. Restaurants, hostels and warehouses usually need more frequent service.
Do you provide pest control for offices and commercial buildings?
Yes. We serve offices, restaurants, hotels, hospitals, schools, warehouses and factories, and can schedule treatments outside working hours.
Will I need to leave the property during treatment?
For most spray treatments you only need to stay out of treated rooms for a few hours. For full fumigation, our team will tell you the exact re-entry time.
Bed Bug Control
Frequently asked questions about bed bug treatment.
What are the signs of a bed bug infestation?
Look for bites in a line, small blood stains on sheets, dark spots on mattress seams, shed skins and a musty smell in the room.
How do you treat bed bugs?
We start with a detailed inspection, then use targeted spray, heat treatment or fumigation depending on the infestation level, followed by a follow-up visit.
Is bed bug treatment completely effective?
When done professionally with a follow-up visit, bed bug treatment is highly effective. Following our preparation and aftercare advice is important for full results.
How many sessions are required for bed bug treatment?
Most properties need one full treatment plus a follow-up visit to clear newly hatched bugs. Severe infestations may need an extra session.
Can bed bugs come back after treatment?
Bed bugs can return if they are brought in again through luggage, used furniture or visitors. Our team shares prevention tips, and our warranty covers re-treatment within its terms.
Cockroach Control
Common questions about cockroach treatment.
What are the signs of a cockroach infestation?
Signs include live cockroaches at night, droppings like black pepper, egg cases, a musty smell and marks near sinks, drains and kitchen cabinets.
How do you treat cockroaches?
We use gel baiting in kitchens and cabinets combined with targeted spray in cracks, drains and hiding spots to eliminate cockroaches and their colonies.
Is cockroach treatment safe for children and pets?
Yes. Gel baits are placed in hidden spots out of reach, and sprays use WHO approved chemicals. We guide you on simple safety steps after treatment.
How long does a cockroach treatment take?
A typical home treatment takes 1 to 2 hours. Results start within a few days as cockroaches come in contact with the bait.
Can cockroaches return after treatment?
They can return if food, moisture and entry points remain. Regular treatment and keeping kitchens clean and dry help keep them away.
Lizard Control
Everything you need to know about lizard control.
Why do lizards enter homes and buildings?
Lizards come in looking for insects to eat, warmth and hiding places. A home with many insects usually attracts more lizards.
How do you treat lizard infestations?
We treat the insects lizards feed on, apply lizard repellent treatment to walls, corners and entry points, and advise on sealing gaps.
Is lizard control safe for children and pets?
Yes. We use WHO approved products applied in targeted areas, and our team explains any short precautions after the treatment.
How long does lizard treatment last?
Lizard treatment usually stays effective for several weeks to a few months, depending on the property and how well entry points are sealed.
Can lizards return after treatment?
Lizards may return if insects and open entry points remain. Periodic treatment and sealing gaps keep them away for longer.
Mosquito Control
Get answers about mosquito treatment and prevention.
What mosquito control methods do you use?
We use fogging, residual spray on resting surfaces and larvicide treatment in standing water to control both adult mosquitoes and larvae.
How do you prevent mosquito breeding?
We treat stagnant water, drains and water storage areas, and advise you on removing standing water where mosquitoes breed.
Is mosquito fumigation effective against dengue?
Yes. Fogging and larvicide treatment reduce the dengue-carrying Aedes mosquito population, especially when combined with removing breeding sites.
How often should mosquito treatment be done?
During monsoon and dengue season, treatment every few weeks is recommended. In other months, less frequent service is usually enough.
Is mosquito treatment safe for children and pets?
Yes. We use WHO approved products. During fogging, keep children and pets indoors with windows closed until the fog settles.
Rodent Control
Frequently asked questions about rat and mouse control.
What are the signs of a rodent infestation?
Signs include droppings, gnaw marks on wires and furniture, scratching sounds at night, nests of shredded material and a strong smell.
How do you treat rat and mouse infestations?
We use a combination of baiting, trapping and sealing entry points, placed safely based on the property layout and rodent activity.
Are your rodent control methods safe for children and pets?
Yes. Baits are placed in secure bait stations or out-of-reach spots, and our team guides you on safety during the treatment period.
Do you provide rodent proofing and exclusion services?
Yes. We identify and seal gaps, holes and entry points so rodents cannot get back into the property after treatment.
Can rodents return after treatment?
Rodents can return if food sources and entry points remain open. Rodent proofing and regular monitoring keep your property protected.
