Cockroach Pest Control in Chembur

Why the old buildings in Chembur get them worst

The small brown cockroach that runs when you switch on the kitchen light at night is the German cockroach, and Chembur has a lot of it. The old MHADA buildings in Tilak Nagar and the chawls and lanes around Vashi Naka have open sewage close by, and that is where these insects come up from. They settle behind the fridge, under the sink and inside the gap behind the kitchen platform, and they breed fast.

In those buildings the flats share pipes and ducts. If your kitchen is treated and the one upstairs is not, a few will find their way down again. That is why we ask what the neighbours are seeing, and why a wing or a whole building done together holds much longer than one flat on its own.

Shops and food stalls have the same insect for a different reason: food waste, warm fridges and drains that never dry. The shops on Station Road and Central Avenue and the stalls on the Ambedkar Garden food street are better off on a monthly contract than a one-off visit.

Small and brown, or big and dark?

• German cockroach

  Small, light brown, lives in the kitchen and bathroom, breeds in weeks. This is the one in the Tilak Nagar and Vashi Naka buildings, and gel is the main weapon against it.

• American cockroach

  The big dark one that comes up through the drain or the bathroom nahani trap, mostly at night and in the monsoon. The drain points and the gaps around pipes get more of the attention for this one.

Why it is worth doing properly

Cockroaches walk through the drain and then across the kitchen platform, and they can spread stomach illness that way. Their droppings and shed skins also set off allergies and asthma in some people, children and older family members most of all. A kitchen that has had them for months is also a kitchen worth sanitizing after the treatment.

• How much does cockroach treatment cost in Chembur?

  It starts at ₹1,500 for a flat and carries a 1-year warranty. The final figure depends on the size of the home and how heavy the problem is, and it is the same price in Tilak Nagar, Diamond Garden or Vashi Naka. The technician inspects for free and writes the price down before starting, with nothing added for travel.

• Will gel alone clear German cockroaches from a MHADA flat?

  Usually gel does most of the work, because the cockroaches eat it and carry it back to the ones hiding in the walls. In the old Tilak Nagar buildings we also spray at the drains and the gaps where they come in, because that is where the next lot arrives from. The technician decides the mix after seeing the kitchen.

• Do I have to empty my kitchen before you come?

  No. Clear the counters, close the food containers and move the dustbin out, so the technician can reach behind the stove and under the sink. Tell us about babies, pets and anyone with asthma when you book, so the gel and spray go only where they should and you know which rooms to keep clear.

• Why do I still see cockroaches a few days after treatment?

  Because the gel works slowly on purpose. The ones you see in the first days have eaten it and are on their way out, and they carry it to the nest before they die. The first results come within 24 to 48 hours and the kitchen is usually clear in 7 to 14 days. If you still see live ones after two weeks, call us.

• Our whole building in Tilak Nagar has cockroaches. Can you treat it together?

  Yes, and it is the better way. In the old MHADA buildings the flats share pipes and ducts, so one treated kitchen gets a few visitors from upstairs. A society can book a wing or the whole building with one inspection and one written quote, which costs less per flat and keeps the result for longer.

• Is the cockroach gel safe with a small child at home?

  The gel goes as small dots inside hinges, behind the stove and under the sink, in places a child does not reach, and the spray goes at the drains and skirting. The technician tells you which rooms to keep clear and for how long. Tell us about children and pets when you book so the visit is planned around them.

• Can you come after I get home from work?

  Yes. We are open 24 hours, 7 days a week, so an evening visit at Diamond Garden or a Sunday morning at Vashi Naka is normal for us. Call 80979 41077 to fix the time, and the technician reaches you in 30 minutes to 1 hour once it is agreed. A kitchen treatment takes well under an hour.

• What is the herbal cockroach treatment you offer?

  It is a herbal gel bait, placed the same way as the regular gel. Societies in Sindhi Society and Diamond Garden ask for it on a yearly plan with a visit every quarter. It suits a light to medium problem. If the kitchen is heavily infested, the technician will say so and suggest the regular gel and spray first.

• How do I keep cockroaches from coming back to my kitchen?

  Close the gap around the drain pipe under the sink, keep the nahani trap covered at night, store food in closed containers, wipe spills the same day and take the bin out every night. Fix dripping taps, because cockroaches need water more than food. A visit every three months does the rest in buildings where they keep arriving from next door.

• Do you treat cockroaches in shops and food stalls in Chembur?

  Yes. Shops on Station Road and Central Avenue, the Diamond Garden market and the Ambedkar Garden food street are a few minutes from our office. The visit is set before opening or after closing, gel goes behind the counters and spray at the drains, and most food businesses take a monthly contract. Commercial work starts at ₹5,000.
