General Pest Control

Details

Rs 1,499 treats a home up to 2 BHK for cockroaches, ants and general crawling insects, and includes one follow-up visit at 21 days to break the breeding cycle. A 3 BHK is Rs 1,999, and beyond that Rs 500 per further bedroom. The chemical is named here because almost nobody names it, and the reason nobody names it is that once you know what is in the sprayer you can ask whether a re-entry period applies. The main treatment is a fipronil 0.05 percent weight-for-weight cockroach gel bait, placed at travel and harbourage points, in cabinet corners, hinge recesses, behind the sink, along skirting, roughly 20 to 30 grams across 40 to 60 placement points for a 2 BHK. Gel is not a spray and it is why the kitchen stays usable. Where gel will not work, in drains, ducts and wall cavities, we use a targeted spray of imidacloprid 30.5 percent SC diluted to about 0.03 percent, or cypermethrin 10 percent EC diluted to 0.05 percent, about 3 to 5 litres of made-up solution for a 2 BHK. Product name, concentration, dilution and every placement point go on the job card, with the label copy. Safety, stated plainly rather than buried. A gel-only treatment needs no vacating and the kitchen is usable that evening. Where spray is used, keep that room closed and then ventilate it for 4 hours before re-entry. Children under two and anyone pregnant should stay out for 6 hours. Cover aquariums and switch the air pump off for 6 hours, because pyrethroids are extremely toxic to fish. Cats are unusually sensitive to pyrethroids, so keep cats out for 6 hours and off treated surfaces until dry, and take birds out of the room entirely. And the claim we will not make: no percentage kill, no elimination. Cockroach control is a cycle rather than an event, activity normally falls over 7 to 14 days as the gel works through the colony, and the 21 day follow-up exists precisely because one visit is not the answer.

• Fipronil 0.05 percent gel, about 20 to 30 g across 40 to 60 points for a 2 BHK. Imidacloprid 30.5 SC at 0.03 percent or cypermethrin 10 EC at 0.05 percent where gel will not go, 3 to 5 litres made up
• Product, concentration, dilution and every placement point written on your job card with the label copy
• Gel only: no vacating, kitchen usable that evening. Where spray is used: ventilate 4 hours before re-entry, 6 hours for children under two and anyone pregnant
• Aquariums covered and air pumps off for 6 hours, cats out 6 hours and off treated surfaces until dry, birds out of the room
• One follow-up visit at 21 days included in the price, plus a 90 day guarantee with a free revisit if activity returns
• No percentage kill and no elimination claim. Cockroach control is a cycle, and activity normally falls over 7 to 14 days
• Not included: termites, bed bugs at Rs 2,499, rodents at Rs 1,299, mosquito fogging, wood borer, and cleaning, which is a separate booking best done before rather than after
• We publish where we work, not how fast we get there. The Gaya crew is being stood up person by person and a response time we cannot hold is worth less to you than the silence.
