Pest Control FAQs — Quick, Honest Answers.

PestoFix provides end-to-end pest management for homes, societies, factories & offices — including termite control (pre- and post-construction), cockroach control, bed bug treatment, rodent control, mosquito control, ant control, fly control, lizard control and pigeon control across Delhi NCR.

We service the entire Delhi NCR including Delhi, Gurgaon, Noida, Greater Noida, Faridabad, Ghaziabad, Manesar, Sohna, Dharuhera and surrounding zones. For large projects we also undertake site visits across North India.

For most pin codes in Delhi NCR we offer same-day service if you book before 12 PM. Emergency bed bug or rodent jobs can usually be slotted within 2–4 hours.

No — for most residential treatments (termite, cockroach gel, ant, lizard), vacating is not required. For bed bug and fogging treatments, we recommend stepping out for 2–4 hours. Our technician will guide you on safety steps based on the service.

Look for these classic signs: mud tubes on walls or skirting, hollow-sounding wood when tapped, stuck doors/windows, bubbled paint, discarded wings near windows, or fine wood dust (frass). Spot any one? Book a free inspection immediately.

We use globally certified, non-repellent termiticides from Bayer (Germany) and BASF. These are odourless, child & pet-safe, and act at the colony level — not just the surface — so the queen and entire nest are eliminated.

For a typical 2–3 BHK home, treatment takes 3–5 hours. Larger flats, duplexes and bungalows take longer. The chemical begins working within hours, and visible activity usually drops sharply in 5–10 days.

Pre-construction treatment is done during foundation / plinth stages — chemicals are applied to soil & trenches to create a long-term barrier (up to 10-year warranty). Post-construction is for built-up homes — chemicals are drilled and injected at wall-floor junctions. Both are highly effective; pre-construction offers stronger long-term protection.

Yes. The chemicals we use are odourless, water-based and approved for use in homes with children, pets and the elderly. After a short post-application waiting period, your home is completely safe to use as normal.

Two reasons: (1) DIY sprays kill visible roaches but not eggs & harborages, and (2) shared walls, drains and ducts in apartments re-introduce them. PestoFix uses gel baiting that's carried back to the nest — eliminating the colony, not just adults — plus surface spray on entry points.

Effects start in 24–72 hours and a single treatment typically provides 3–6 months of protection. For high-risk areas (food businesses, ground floors), we recommend quarterly maintenance via AMC.

Absolutely. Gel baits are placed in tiny dots inside hinges, cracks and behind appliances — never on food-contact surfaces. There's no smell, no spray on counters, and you can use the kitchen the same day.

Not fully. We may ask you to clear small areas where gel will be placed (hinges, joints). Heavy emptying is usually not needed for gel-based cockroach control.

Bed bugs require 2 professional treatments, 14–21 days apart — the first kills adults & nymphs, the second kills newly hatched eggs. Combine this with hot-washing bedding and vacuuming and the infestation is wiped out for good.

Usually no. Our treatment targets eggs, nymphs and adults hidden in seams, joints and frames. We only recommend disposal if the furniture is structurally damaged or the infestation is extreme.

Two treatments are standard. For very heavy infestations (hostels, hotels, second-hand furniture), a third follow-up may be scheduled. All follow-ups within the package are included — no surprise charges.

Yes — for 4–6 hours after spraying, we recommend staying out, especially for children, pregnant women and pets. We use targeted insecticides that are safe after ventilation, but a short break is standard practice.

Yes — we prefer trap-based and bait-station methods that allow us to remove rats before they decompose indoors. For homes with kids/pets, we strongly recommend our pet-safe trapping option to avoid odour issues.

Yes. We offer pet-safe rodent control using tamper-resistant bait stations and snap-trap setups placed out of reach. No loose poison is used on the floor.

Yes. Our trap-based programme uses live traps, glue boards and snap traps placed strategically along runways. Ideal for kitchens, food businesses and homes with pets.

Seal entry holes >1cm wide, fit drain caps, store food in containers and keep garbage covered. PestoFix also offers a rodent-proofing service that seals known entry points with steel mesh & cement.

A single thermal/cold fogging gives 3–4 weeks of strong protection, depending on weather and rainfall. For societies and farmhouses, fortnightly fogging during monsoon is recommended.

Yes — when applied by trained technicians using WHO-approved formulations and proper concentrations. Stay indoors for 30–60 minutes after outdoor fogging, then ventilate.

Yes. We service apartment complexes, RWAs, schools, hospitals and farmhouses with scheduled fogging, larviciding of stagnant water, and ULV misting. Custom monthly/quarterly contracts available.

Ants follow pheromone trails to food & water. Wiping the visible line doesn't kill the colony — the queen continues to produce thousands of workers. PestoFix uses colony-bait gels that workers carry back, eliminating the source.

Both options are available. For minor problems we treat the trail & entry points; for recurring or heavy infestations we do a full perimeter + interior treatment with long-lasting residual.

Yes. We use food-area approved formulations with extremely low toxicity to humans and pets. Application is targeted — never on counters, utensils or open food.
