## Overview

Direct pest-control booking through Solve24 saves ₹300–₹2,000 per treatment vs commission-based managed-services apps in India 2026. Because pest-control uses chemical materials (₹200–₹800/job), commission apps take a cut on both labour and materials, inflating the customer price by 25–40%. Termite treatment shows the widest gap — ₹2,500–₹6,000 direct vs ₹3,500–₹8,500 via app.

## Details

Termite treatment is the largest-savings category. A direct termite job for a 1BHK involves 6–10 chemical injection holes, ₹500–₹1,200 of anti-termite chemical, and 3–5 hours of technician time. Direct rate: ₹2,500–₹6,000. Commission apps mark this to ₹3,500–₹8,500, with the technician receiving only ₹2,450–₹5,950 after commission. The customer pays ₹1,000–₹2,500 more, the technician earns ₹50–₹1,050 less — the platform captures ₹1,050–₹3,550.

Bed bug treatment typically needs 2–3 visits (bed bugs hide in cracks and treatment kills adults but not eggs). Direct pricing is ₹900–₹2,500 per room for a full 3-visit cycle. Commission-app pricing is ₹1,300–₹3,300. The savings compound because you're paying platform commission on every visit — direct booking saves ₹400–₹800/room across the full treatment.

Annual maintenance contracts (AMCs) show the compounded gap. A 4-visit AMC directly runs ₹3,000–₹6,000; via commission app it's ₹4,500–₹8,500. For a family that maintains regular pest control (recommended in tropical urban India), the AMC saving is ₹1,000–₹2,500/year.

## Verdict

Choose direct pest-control booking (Solve24) for termite, bed bug, and AMCs — savings of ₹800–₹2,500 per treatment are large. Confirm chemical brand and warranty terms in writing before the visit. Choose commission apps only if you specifically want platform-backed warranties and don't mind paying 25–40% more. Over a year of pest management for a typical household, direct saves ₹1,500–₹5,000.

## Frequently asked

### Is direct pest control as safe as app booking?

Yes — the same certified technicians and chemicals are used. Ask for the chemical brand name and dilution ratio before the visit; both are safe for typical Indian homes when used correctly.

### How often should I do pest control?

For cockroach and general pests: every 4–6 months in most Indian cities. Termite: annually. Bed bugs: only when infestation detected (then 2–3 visits over 30 days).

### What is a fair termite treatment warranty?

Look for 1-year direct-technician warranty (visible in writing on the invoice) — comparable to platform-backed offerings.
