Mosquito Pest Control in Chembur

Where the mosquitoes in Chembur come from

Mostly from water that does not move. Around Vashi Naka and the old Tilak Nagar buildings the open sewage and blocked gutters do the breeding, and no one flat can fix that alone. In the societies at Diamond Garden, Sindhi Society and the towers such as Godrej Prime and Altair, the usual sources are inside the compound: the underground tank, the basement parking after rain, a blocked terrace drain, flower pot saucers and the tray under the AC.

Fogging kills the mosquitoes flying today. Larvicide in the water kills the ones that would fly next week. A visit that does only the first gives you a quiet night; a visit that does both gives you a quiet month.

What a visit includes

• Site check, free. The technician walks the compound and the flat looking for standing water, resting spots and the gaps mosquitoes come in through.
• Breeding water. Water that can be emptied is emptied. Water that cannot, such as a tank or a sump, gets larvicide. Blocked drains are cleared or pointed out to the society.
• Fogging. A fine fog through the compound, parking, stairwells and garden, and inside the flat if you want it, for immediate relief from the adults.
• Schedule. Because the relief lasts 15 to 30 days, the next visit is planned before the technician leaves: monthly in the monsoon, every two months otherwise.

Between visits

• Tip out and scrub the flower pot saucers, the AC tray and any bucket once a week. Tipping alone leaves the eggs stuck to the side.
• Keep the water tank lid on and check that it still fits.
• Put mesh on the windows and the balcony door, and keep the bathroom nahani trap covered.
• Report a blocked compound drain to the society the day you see it.

• What does mosquito fogging cost in Chembur?

  Mosquito control starts at ₹1,800. A single flat is near that figure, while a society compound with a tank, parking and a garden costs more and is better priced as a monsoon package for the season. The site check and the written quote are free, and the price is the same in every part of Chembur.

• How long does fogging keep mosquitoes away?

  The fog works the same day, and the relief lasts 15 to 30 days depending on the weather and how much breeding water there is nearby. That is why the larvicide and the schedule matter: a monthly visit through the monsoon and one every two months for the rest of the year keeps the numbers down between fogs.

• Can you fog our society compound every month in the monsoon?

  Yes, and that is the plan most Chembur societies take. The technician treats the compound, parking, stairwells, tanks, drains and garden on a fixed day each month from June to October, and every two months otherwise. The committee gets one inspection, one written quote for the season and a record of each visit.

• Is fogging safe for children, pets and the aquarium?

  Yes, when it is done properly. Before the fog, cover the aquarium and the food, close the windows of rooms you want kept out, and keep children and pets away from the fogged area for the time the technician tells you. Tell us about babies, pets and anyone with asthma when you book so the visit is planned around them.

• Where are mosquitoes breeding inside my flat?

  Look at the saucers under the plants, the tray under the AC, the bottom of the fridge, a bucket left full in the bathroom, an unused nahani trap and the balcony drain. A few spoons of still water are enough. Empty and scrub them once a week, because just tipping the water out leaves the eggs stuck to the side.

• Someone in our building has dengue. How soon can you come?

  Follow the doctor first, then call 80979 41077 and say it is urgent. We are open 24 hours, 7 days a week and can fog for an outbreak within 4 to 6 hours. The technician then looks for the breeding water in the compound, because fogging alone does not stop the next batch from the same sump or drain.

• Does fogging help near open drains and sewage?

  It helps, but only for a while. Open sewage outside your compound, like the stretch near Vashi Naka, keeps breeding whatever we do inside, so a home next to it needs a regular schedule rather than one visit, plus mesh on the windows. Inside the compound we remove every source we can reach, which cuts the numbers a lot.

• Do you treat construction sites and worker sheds in Chembur?

  Yes. Sites have water in pits, drums and curing tanks, and the sheds around them fill with mosquitoes at dusk. The technician treats the standing water with larvicide, fogs the sheds and the site at a time that suits the work, and comes back on a schedule. Schools and clinics are treated the same way, around their hours.

• When is mosquito season in Mumbai?

  Breeding peaks in April and May before the rains and again in September and October after them, and the monsoon in between leaves water in every gutter and pot. The sensible thing is to book before the peak, not during it, and to keep a lighter schedule through the dry months so the numbers never build up.

• Do coils and electric repellents mean I do not need a visit?

  They protect the room while they run and do nothing about where the mosquitoes breed. If you are bitten only now and then, mesh and a repellent are enough. If the numbers stay high every evening, something nearby is breeding them, and the free site check will usually find a tank, tray or drain you can actually fix.
