Summer · April – June
Mosquito and cockroach populations in Indian homes follow the same yearly curve: adults are still relatively few in March–early April, then a 6–10x jump happens between mid-April and July as humidity rises. Treating at the start of April kills the small adult population before it lays the summer eggs — which is why one treatment lasts up to the monsoon.
Waiting until you can hear mosquitoes at night means the summer generation has already emerged. You will then need two rounds in June and July at the higher cost of ₹2,000+ per round.
Costs are for a 1BHK to 2BHK residential home. Larger flats or independent houses are quoted per site. Warranty periods below are what most Solve24 pest control professionals offer for repeat visits.
| Pest | Cost 2026 (₹) | Method | Warranty |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cockroach – general | 800 – 1,800 | Gel bait + spray | 1–3 months |
| Cockroach – heavy infestation | 1,500 – 3,000 | Gel + spray + follow-up | 3 months, 2 visits |
| General pest spray (2BHK) | 1,500 – 3,000 | Deltamethrin spray | 2–3 months |
| Mosquito fogging | 600 – 1,500 | Fog + gel around drains | 2–3 months |
| Bed bug (per room) | 1,200 – 3,500 | Heat + insecticide, 2–3 rounds | 3 months, 3 visits |
| Termite treatment | 3,000 – 9,000 | Chemical barrier / drilling | 1 – 3 years |
| Rodent control | 1,200 – 3,500 | Bait + traps + entry seal | 2–3 months |
Not every pest is a summer problem. Knowing what is actually active in April–June helps you buy only the treatment you need instead of paying for a bundled "full pest control" package.
A ₹1,500 pest control treatment works twice as well when you prepare the house properly. These steps are what a good technician would ask you to do anyway; doing them upfront reduces the number of visits.
Commission-based apps charge ₹2,500–₹3,500 for a general 2BHK spray because a 20–30% cut has been added. On Solve24, you see the pest-control professional's profile, agree the rate directly on WhatsApp, and pay them the ₹1,500–₹2,500 they actually charge. Ask specifically: what chemical, how many follow-up visits, and what is the warranty in writing.

General pest spray for a 2BHK is ₹1,500–₹3,000. Cockroach-only treatment is ₹800–₹1,800. Mosquito fogging is ₹600–₹1,500. Bed bug per room is ₹1,200–₹3,500. Termite treatment is ₹3,000–₹9,000 with 1–3 year warranty.
Late March to first week of April is the ideal window. Adult populations are still low but eggs are being laid; one treatment then lasts 3–4 months through peak breeding season.
Modern water-based sprays used by trained professionals are considered safe once the surface dries — usually 2–3 hours. Keep children and pets out of the treated area for that period and open windows for ventilation.
A single gel-plus-spray visit lasts 2–3 months for a light infestation. Heavy infestations need 2 visits about 30 days apart, so eggs that hatch after the first round are killed too.
Yearly is the safe rule for a Ground-to-3rd floor home. If you live on a higher floor with no visible pests, once every 18–24 months is enough — but do a mosquito fogging every summer regardless.
