Mosquito Pest Control in Goregaon

Big mosquitoes on the Aarey and Film City side

Goregaon East has a problem most of Mumbai does not. The Film City and Aarey Colony border is jungle and green belt, and large mosquitoes come in from there, especially around dusk. We cannot treat a jungle, and we will not tell you we can. What we can do is deal with the water around your own building, fog the places where mosquitoes rest, and help you keep them out of the rooms.

It does not take much water for them to breed. Look at overhead and underground tanks, basement parking, blocked drains, AC trays, flower pot saucers and terrace corners. Building sites close by are a common source too.

Which months are worst

Breeding peaks before the rains, in April and May, and again after them, in September and October. During the monsoon itself, blocked drains and collected water show up everywhere. So we suggest a visit every month in the monsoon and every two months for the rest of the year. Buildings that want one fixed plan can ask for a monsoon package.

Mosquitoes can spread malaria, dengue and chikungunya. If someone in your building has been diagnosed, follow your doctor's advice and tell us when you call, so we can look for the source around you.

What helps at home

Mosquito control starts at ₹1,800 and carries a 1-year warranty with follow-up visits. The final price depends on the size of the property and how many breeding spots it has. Looking at the place and giving you the quote costs nothing.

• Empty and scrub saucers, buckets and AC trays once a week. Just tipping them out can leave eggs behind.
• Keep tanks tightly covered, and check that the lid still fits.
• Put mesh on the windows and balcony doors, mainly on the side that faces the green area.
• Tell your society about any blocked common drain.

• What is the rate for mosquito fogging in Goregaon East?

  Mosquito control starts at ₹1,800 in Goregaon East and West alike. A single flat costs less than a society with gardens, parking and tanks, so we look at the place first and write down the price. Societies can ask for a monsoon package instead of paying per visit.

• We live near Aarey. Can you stop the mosquitoes completely?

  No, and nobody can honestly say so, because the jungle and green belt stay where they are. We can remove breeding water around your building, fog resting spots on a schedule and suggest window mesh. Together these bring the numbers down a lot, even if a few still get through.

• How many days does one round of fogging work for?

  Fogging works immediately, and you can expect relief for about 15 to 30 days. Weather and the number of mosquitoes in the area change this. So we suggest a visit every month during the monsoon, and one every two months for the rest of the year.

• Do I need to leave the flat while you fog?

  The technician tells you what to close and how long to keep people and pets out of that space. Cover food and fish tanks before it starts. If someone at home has a breathing problem, a baby is sleeping or you have pets, please mention it when you book.

• Can a Goregaon society book mosquito visits for the whole year?

  Yes. A society can book common areas, gardens, parking, tanks and drains on a fixed schedule, with more visits in the monsoon. You get one inspection and one written quote for the whole property, which is easier for the committee to pass than each flat booking separately.

• Where should I look for mosquito breeding inside my flat?

  Check flower pot saucers, AC trays, the tray under the fridge, stored buckets, bathroom traps that nobody uses and balcony drains. Very little water is enough for them. Empty these and scrub them weekly. If you have done all that and still get bites, the source may be outside your flat.

• Someone in our building has dengue. What should we do?

  First follow the doctor's advice. Then call 80979 41077 and tell us it is urgent. We are open at any hour, and we will come as soon as we can to fog the area and look for the breeding source, so that the same thing does not keep happening.

• Do coils and liquid machines do the same job as fogging?

  They protect you while they are running, but they do nothing about where the mosquitoes breed. If you are bothered only now and then, coils and mesh may be all you need. If numbers stay high anyway, a walk around the building usually finds a source that can be removed.

• Can you fog an office in Nesco IT Park after work?

  Yes, offices on that side can book a visit for the evening so the floor runs normally the next day. Check with your building management about any permission needed. Tell us the floor area and whether there are planters or a pantry, as those are common spots for mosquitoes.

• When should I book mosquito treatment before the rains?

  Book before the peak, not during it. Breeding is highest in April and May, then again in September and October. An early visit lets us clear water before the numbers rise. If you leave it until everyone is calling, it is harder to get ahead of the problem.
