โI just got pest control last yearโฆ Do I really need it again?โ
Sound familiar?
Youโre not alone. Most homeowners and business owners wonder how often they actually need pest control. The answer isnโt one-size-fits-all โ it depends on a few key things: your location, the type of pests, your propertyโs condition, and even the season.
Letโs break it down.
๐ก Why Regular Pest Control Is a Must (Even If You Donโt See Bugs)
Hereโs the thing โ most pests donโt make a grand entrance. By the time you spot one cockroach or termite, thereโs a good chance there are dozens more hiding out of sight. And unfortunately, DIY sprays only treat what you see, not the root of the problem.
Regular pest control helps:
๐ก๏ธ Prevent infestations before they start
๐งผ Protect your familyโs health
๐๏ธ Preserve your home from damage (especially termites)
๐ธ Save money in the long run
๐ So, How Often Do You Really Need It?
๐ Every 3 Months (Quarterly Pest Control) โ Ideal for Most Homes
This is the industry standard and what we recommend to most of our clients. Pest control chemicals generally last about 90 days. Quarterly treatments help stay ahead of seasonal pests โ like ants in the summer, cockroaches during monsoon, and rodents in the winter.
Best for: Homes in cities like Gurgaon, where changing weather and construction activity invite pests year-round.
๐ Monthly Treatments โ For High-Infestation or Commercial Areas
If your property has a history of pest issues, or if you run a restaurant, warehouse, or clinic, monthly pest control offers better protection.
Best for:
Food businesses
Hospitals/clinics
Apartments with recurring issues
Buildings near open land or drainage areas
โ Once or Twice a Year โ For Low-Risk Properties
If your area doesnโt experience many pest issues and your home is well-sealed and maintained, once or twice a year might be enough โ especially if you’re using preventative measures like mesh screens, proper waste disposal, and regular cleaning.
Tip: Combine this with occasional inspections so youโre not caught off guard.
