Mosquito Control in Bangalore
Outdoor misting systems, thermal fogging, and scientific breeding source reduction to dramatically reduce mosquito populations and protect your family from dengue, malaria, and chikungunya.
Mosquitoes: Bangalore's Most Dangerous Pest
Bangalore's variable climate — warm temperatures, periodic heavy rainfall, and abundant vegetation — creates near-ideal breeding conditions for mosquitoes year-round. The city consistently records among the highest dengue and malaria case counts in Karnataka. The primary culprits are Aedes aegypti (dengue, chikungunya, Zika) and Anopheles species (malaria).
A single female mosquito can lay up to 200 eggs at a time, and in warm weather, the life cycle from egg to biting adult takes just 7–10 days. Any container holding stagnant water — a bucket, a flower pot tray, a blocked gutter — can produce hundreds of mosquitoes per week.
Effective mosquito control is not simply about eliminating the adults you see — it requires systematic identification and elimination of breeding sites combined with residual barrier sprays that kill newly emerging adults before they can bite or breed.
Dengue
Aedes aegyptiSpread by day-biting mosquitoes. Symptoms include high fever, severe joint pain, and rash. Severe dengue can be fatal.
Malaria
Anopheles mosquitoesNight-biting mosquitoes. Causes cyclical fever, chills, and anemia. Can become life-threatening without prompt treatment.
Chikungunya
Aedes aegypti & albopictusCauses debilitating joint pain that can persist for months to years after the acute infection resolves.
Our Three-Pillar Mosquito Control Program
Lasting mosquito control requires attacking populations at the larval stage, the adult stage, and the source simultaneously.
Outdoor Misting
- Automated misting systems installed along property perimeters
- Fine insecticide mist applied at dusk when mosquitoes are most active
- Targets resting mosquitoes on vegetation, walls, and fencing
- Programmable timers allow treatment without occupant disruption
- Residual effect lasts 3–5 days per application cycle
- Ideal for villas, housing societies, restaurants, and resorts
Thermal Fogging
- High-powered thermal fogger vaporizes insecticide into fine particles
- Fog penetrates dense vegetation, trees, and shrubbery where mosquitoes rest
- Rapid knockdown of adult mosquito populations within the treatment zone
- Effective for gardens, parks, construction sites, and residential areas
- Completed in early morning or late evening for maximum contact
- Immediate but shorter residual effect — most effective before events or at outbreak peaks
Breeding Source Reduction
- Systematic survey of all potential breeding sites on the property
- Larvicidal treatment of water bodies that cannot be drained (tanks, drains, ponds)
- Temephos or BTI (Bacillus thuringiensis israelensis) applied to standing water
- BTI is a biological larvicide — effective against larvae, completely harmless to humans, pets, and fish
- Advice on eliminating unnecessary water accumulation points
- Most critical step — eliminates the source rather than just the symptom
Common Breeding Sites in Bangalore Homes
Mosquitoes need only a bottle cap of still water to breed. These are the most overlooked breeding locations.
Flower Pot Trays
Empty and wipe dry twice weekly
Overhead Water Tanks
Keep tightly covered at all times
AC Drip Trays
Connect to drain or empty daily
Blocked Gutters
Clear and flush monthly
Discarded Containers
Remove or store upside down
Birdbaths & Fountains
Change water every 2–3 days
Tyres & Buckets
Drill drainage holes or store covered
Construction Water
Apply larvicide to stagnant pools
