How often should pest control be done?<\/strong><\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

Pests have been a subject of concern for Homeowners and businesses in India. One pest interception at home is enough to give you sleepless nights. With it comes a long queue of questions like \u201chow pest invasion occurred\u201d, \u201chow these pests managed to invade your house\u201d, How to get rid of this menace quickly and so on.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

We understand your concern and urgency to get rid of the pest problem as quickly as possible and at minimum cost without burning hole in your pocket. But first, we must ask ourselves an important question.\u00a0\u201cHow frequently should Pest control be called\u201d<\/strong>. Homeowners want to learn to maintain a balance between spending least possible price and successfully removing bug infestation from their property. Through this blog, we shall try to educate the users as to how they can get\u00a0E<\/strong>ffective pest control<\/strong>\u00a0with an\u00a0optimum frequency<\/strong>\u00a0of service required. You will learn the thumb rules that apply while deciding on\u00a0How often your property should be treated<\/strong>\u00a0to attain\u00a0cost-effective pest control services<\/strong>.\u00a0The periodicity of service<\/strong>\u00a0should be such that it is frequent enough to keep pests away from your premise without being overkill.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

How to decide Pest Control Treatment Frequency?<\/strong><\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

Whatever information we put across here is based on our field experience as a\u00a0pest control operator<\/strong>\u00a0in\u00a0India<\/strong>\u00a0for last 30 years. It has been observed at times that customers decide upon\u00a0frequency<\/strong>\u00a0themselves, which is a sheer mismatch between what they are getting and what is required. Some clients in\u00a0India<\/strong>\u00a0get their property\u00a0pest controlled<\/strong>\u00a0once in a year,<\/strong>\u00a0that too when the pest problem becomes unbearable. On the other hand there are some homeowners who get their property treated\u00a0too frequent<\/strong>\u00a0which proves over the application of pesticides. While some bugs require more\u00a0frequent treatments<\/strong>, other bugs get to control just by one or two applications at the most.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

It also depends upon the surroundings of your vicinity and how conducive your property is to a particular pest. For example, in the case of a\u00a0termite infestation<\/strong>\u00a0of a house built on rocky soil, just one application is good enough to control termites for years together. On the other hand, if your house is infested by rats and there is a big drain or restaurant near the house, it requires\u00a0very frequent services<\/strong>\u00a0to get a fair degree of\u00a0control.<\/strong><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Secondly, different Pest control products require\u00a0different treatment intervals<\/strong>\u00a0as there is a difference in their residual effect and different acceptability by an insect. As far as the exterior of the house is concerned, one service every 3-4 months is a good idea as it works as a preventive treatment option and it does not let pest problem crop up at first place. So If you get exterior of your house treated\u00a03-4 times a year<\/strong>, you shouldn\u2019t have a pest menace inside of your house.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

So it is advisable that first you get your premise thoroughly inspected by some\u00a0professional Pest control expert<\/strong><\/a>, leave it on to him when it comes to deciding the\u00a0frequency of service for Pest control.<\/strong><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

How often should I have Pest Control Treatment done?<\/strong><\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

Frequency of Pest Control services<\/strong>\u00a0also depends on the\u00a0location of your property\u00a0and the\u00a0pest population around your surroundings. For example, the\u00a0termite<\/strong>\u00a0menace in\u00a0South Delhi<\/strong>\u00a0is much more severe than the other parts of\u00a0Delhi<\/strong>. The study has shown that the\u00a0Termite density<\/strong>\u00a0in\u00a0South Delhi<\/strong>\u00a0is greater, as the soil here is more termite prone. Here just one\u00a0termite treatment<\/a>\u00a0does not suffice and interim inspections are needed and spot treatments has to be undertaken as and when the need arises. If your house is located in\u00a0West or North Delhi,<\/strong>\u00a0and it is infested by common household pests like cockroaches, spiders and ants, a\u00a0quarterly services<\/strong>\u00a0(i.e once in 3 months) service is enough to keep them away.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

However, if you are situated in\u00a0East Delhi<\/strong>\u00a0then you have to work out on a\u00a0Bi-Monthly(once in two months)<\/strong>\u00a0plan to match the same results, because here the conditions are more conducive for such pests growth. Another extreme example is\u00a0Bedbugs<\/strong>\u00a0removal job in\u00a0Gurgaon and Noida<\/strong>\u00a0,<\/strong>\u00a0where they are hard to oversome. So here you would certainly have to get\u00a0Monthly service plan<\/strong>\u00a0. However we always insist homeowners to Check with their\u00a0pest control company<\/strong>, but normally it is suggested to get your property treated once every\u00a0four months<\/strong>. Shorter or\u00a0longer intervals between two services<\/strong>\u00a0can be recommended, according to gravity of infestation or precise situation.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Though each infestation is unique, the most\u00a0optimum pest control service frequency<\/strong>\u00a0would be\u00a0Quarterly (every three months)<\/strong>\u00a0as this is sufficient to keep common household pests away like cockroaches, spiders, ants and house crickets. In regions like\u00a0Delhi Noida and Gurgaon<\/strong>, any other pests should be considered as speciality pests and\u00a0Bi-monthly service<\/strong>\u00a0should work for speciality pests. Homeowners should inquire with\u00a0professional pest control company<\/strong>\u00a0about a\u00a0service schedule<\/strong>\u00a0for these type of pests. If a\u00a0pest control operator<\/strong>\u00a0suggests any more frequent services than think about another company. A\u00a0monthly service plan<\/strong>\u00a0is probably too much of a treatment and you\u2019re paying for unnecessary services. Any\u00a0Good Pest control company<\/strong>\u00a0should be able to control pests with services\u00a0every two months<\/strong>.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Why to follow quarterly service plan thumb rule?<\/strong><\/p>


It is an established fact that Usually, pesticides remain\u00a0effective up to three months<\/strong>\u00a0after they have been applied. With a\u00a0quarterly service plan<\/strong>, a\u00a0pest control technician<\/strong>\u00a0is able to re-apply the treatment so your house always has a continuous ongoing protection barrier against bugs. After first\u00a02-3 services<\/strong>\u00a0on the\u00a0quarterly plan,<\/strong>\u00a0the pest nuisance in your home starts subsiding and then your pest controller can decide upon more preventive approach. After a stage, he can opt treating the interior of your house\u00a0less frequently<\/strong>\u00a0and a pest infestation can be controlled from the\u00a0outside area<\/strong>\u00a0of your property.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

Another advantage of opting for\u00a0Quarterly service plan<\/strong>\u00a0is free\u00a0re-treats<\/strong>\u00a0in between. Most\u00a0Pest control companies in Delhi, Noida and Gurgaon<\/strong>\u00a0offer free of\u00a0cost re-treats<\/strong>\u00a0in between if circumstances so warrant. If you notice any bug activity on your property between\u00a0two services<\/strong>\u00a0, a technician comes without delay to control the situation at\u00a0no extra cost<\/strong>. More likely a\u00a0Quarterly service contract<\/strong>\u00a0let you call the company whenever it is required.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

These days some companies offer\u00a0one-time treatment option<\/strong>, which is a\u00a0short term solution<\/strong>. They offer 30 days\u00a0warranty period<\/strong>. No doubt it seems more\u00a0economical<\/strong>\u00a0and flexible as you may order service as and when required. But there is a major drawback with this kind of arrangement. It eliminates pests superficially and does not take care of their eggs, hidden deep inside minute gaps between wood and floor. Soon you find yourself trapped in same vulnerable situation as before. Moreover a\u00a0single treatment option<\/strong>\u00a0are costlier when compared with cost per service under annual\u00a0pest control plan<\/strong>. However as an exceptional case,\u00a0one-time treatment plan<\/strong>\u00a0can be suggested to those homeowners who are not likely to stay in a house for longer periods (i.e tenants etc.)<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

Through tabular representation, we try to elaborate the\u00a0recommended Pest control frequency<\/strong>\u00a0for different pests found in\u00a0Delhi, Gurgaon, Noida and NCR region<\/strong>, in. For better understanding, we take two type or premises in consideration,\u00a0Domestic and Office<\/strong>.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

We hereby suggest that this frequency\u00a0of services<\/strong>\u00a0should not be treated as a rule of thumb and these are just\u00a0recommended periodicities<\/strong>. We always insist on our customers that they should get their premise inspected by some Professional Pest control agency<\/strong>\u00a0and let him decide how severe the pest infestation is and\u00a0how often should the Pest control be sprayed<\/strong>.<\/p>
