Pest Control
Updated 6 August 2026
Quick answer
Annual pest control AMC in India (2026) is ₹4,000–₹10,000 for 4–6 visits — works out to ₹700–₹1,700/visit vs ₹800–₹1,800 for a single visit. AMC is worth it if you have recurring pests (cockroaches, ants), a large home (3BHK+), pets/kids, or a ground-floor unit. Single visit is fine for one-off termite treatment or clean apartments without recurring issues.
A single-visit general spray for a 2BHK in India (2026) is ₹800–₹1,800 (₹1,050–₹2,350 in metros). Covers ants, cockroaches, mosquitoes for 3–4 months. After that, pests typically return — so a yearly problem needs 3–4 single visits, totalling ₹2,400–₹7,200.
An annual AMC (Annual Maintenance Contract) is ₹4,000–₹10,000 for 4–6 visits per year, plus emergency callbacks for major issues. Per-visit cost: ₹700–₹1,700 vs. ₹800–₹1,800 single — 15–30% cheaper per visit. Total annual saving vs. 4 single visits: ₹1,500–₹4,000.
AMC is worth it for: homes with recurring pest issues (ground floor, near gardens, older buildings), 3BHK+ homes, families with pets/kids where crawling insects are a real concern, restaurant/kitchen-heavy homes. Also includes emergency callbacks: if you spot roaches between visits, the AMC covers a free extra visit.
Single visits are fine for: one-off termite treatment (this is a project, not a recurring service), clean high-rise apartments without any pest issue, rental homes where the landlord may pay for treatment, and quarterly need-only households.
