Top 5 Common Pests in Delhi Homes & How to Get Rid of Them
Delhi’s climate, population density, and urban infrastructure make it a hotspot for all kinds of pests — from cockroaches and rats to termites and bed bugs. If you’ve been spotting unwanted guests in your home, you’re not alone. At Delhi Pest Control, we help thousands of households across Delhi NCR stay pest-free all year round.
In this blog, we cover the top 5 most common pests in Delhi homes, their risks, and the best ways to eliminate them.
Cockroaches
Cockroaches are among the most widespread pests in Delhi. They thrive in kitchens, bathrooms, drains, and anywhere dark and moist.
Signs of a Cockroach Infestation:
Droppings that resemble coffee grounds
Musty or oily smell
Egg cases in corners or behind appliances
How to Get Rid of Them:
Keep your kitchen clean and dry
Seal entry points and cracks
Use gel bait treatments or professional pest control for lasting results
🔹Pro Tip: DIY sprays may kill visible cockroaches but not their hidden eggs or nests.
Termites
Subterranean termites are a major problem in Delhi, especially during the summer and monsoon seasons.
Signs of Termite Damage:
Hollow-sounding wood
Mud tubes on walls or foundations
Discarded wings near windows
Solution:
The most effective method is Porous Pipe Termite Control, which creates a chemical barrier around your property.
🔹Pro Tip: Early detection and pre-construction termite treatment can save you thousands in repair costs.
Rodents (Rats & Mice)
Rats and mice are not just creepy — they’re dangerous. They chew wires, spread diseases like leptospirosis and hantavirus, and contaminate food.
How to Identify a Rodent Problem:
Gnaw marks on furniture or wires
Scratching sounds in walls or ceilings
Droppings in corners or behind cabinets
Control Methods:
Rodent bait stations and traps
Sealing entry points with mesh or metal
Professional rodent control for long-term prevention
Bed Bugs
Delhi’s high population density and frequent travel make bed bugs a growing concern, especially in PGs, hotels, and apartments.
Signs You Have Bed Bugs:
Itchy red bites, usually in a line or cluster
Blood spots on sheets
Tiny black fecal spots on mattresses or upholstery
Treatment: Professional bed bug treatment includes steam cleaning, sprays, and repeated visits if necessary.
🔹Pro Tip: Washing your bedding at 60°C helps reduce infestation, but professional treatment is a must for full eradication.
Pigeons and Other Birds
Birds may seem harmless, but they cause property damage and leave droppings that can spread disease.
Problems Caused by Birds:
Nesting on AC units and ledges
Corrosion from droppings
Allergens and foul smell
Solution:
Anti-bird netting
Bird spikes
Gel-based repellents
🔹Pro Tip:Humane bird control methods are both effective and compliant with animal welfare regulations.
