Mosquito Control in Pune & PCMC

Signs you are dealing with this

• Biting activity concentrated around dawn and dusk, or all day in shaded parts of the building
• Mosquitoes resting on walls in stairwells, basements, parking levels and under staircases
• Standing water in overhead and underground tanks, planters, drain chambers or construction pits nearby
• Complaints concentrated on lower floors and around the compound rather than one flat
• A rise in cases after the monsoon or alongside nearby construction work

Mosquito work has two halves, and doing only one of them is why so many societies feel their fogging does not last. Fogging kills the adults flying at that moment. It does nothing about the water where the next generation is developing. Lasting control needs both.

Fogging

Thermal or cold fogging is used across compounds, gardens, parking levels, basements, stairwells, shafts and open storage areas to knock down the adult population quickly. It is the right tool before an event, during a local outbreak, or as the first step of a programme. The effect is immediate but temporary.

Residual spraying

Walls, ceilings and the surfaces where mosquitoes rest between feeds are treated with a residual product, so that mosquitoes landing there over the following weeks are affected. This is what extends the result beyond the day of the fogging.

Breeding source reduction

The part that actually decides your result. We will point out the breeding sources we find on your premises — tank overflows, drain chambers, planter trays, unused tyres, water collecting on terraces, flooded lift pits, construction pits on the adjoining plot. Some of these we can treat; some are housekeeping or maintenance work that has to be done by your facility team. We would rather tell you that plainly than fog the compound every month and let the problem continue.

Preparing for the visit

• Fogging needs the area cleared of people and pets during the treatment and for a while afterwards.
• Cover or move open food, drinking water and aquariums before a fogging visit.
• Close windows on the side being fogged if you want the fog kept outside, or open them if the interior is being treated — the technician will tell you which applies.
• Arrange access to terraces, tank areas, basements and lift pits in advance, as these are often where the breeding is found.
