With Kolkata’s weather conditions in favour of pests, overcrowded residential layouts and aging infrastructure age-old structures, it is little wonder that Kolkata is one of the most pest-prone metro cities in India. From termite infested old houses in North Kolkata to rodents crawling over high-rise apartments in New Town, pest emergencies here assume massive proportions. 

However,when do you need to know the problem is bad enough to call in Emergency Pest Control in Kolkata? 

In this guide, we cover warning signs that you need a pest control professional to quickly take care of your problem; how soon you can expect them to arrive; the cost of pest control in Kolkata and what Calcutta’s should do when pests get urgent. 

What Is Emergency Pest Control? 

A participant used the term “Emergency Pest Control” to describe a pest control situation, which needs immediate attention since health, safety, or property damages are imminent caused by pests. 

In Kolkata, there is an upsurge of emergency cases during: 

Monsoon season (June–September) 

Durga puja season (spurt in rodent activity due to waste accumulation) 

Summer (high cockroach breeding season) 

Unlike regular pest control, which is a baseline service that must be scheduled ahead of time and has limited availability, Emergency Pest Control in Kolkata is intended for quick or same-day response: You will usually have to wait only between a few hours or 24h at most. 

If pests are structurally compromising your home or endangering the health of your family then it is ‘urgent’. 

What kind of pest Control of Kolkata should not be considered as emergency? 

All pest sightings are not an emergency. However, in the condition of Kolkata at least some things need professional involvement right away. 

If any of the following is true then you need to contact Emergency Pest Control:

• You also see substantial droppings or detect bad smells 

Since many Kolkata homes share walls with neighbouring units, as well as plumbing shafts and drainage systems, infestations tend to quickly move between apartments. Delay increases risk. 

Termite Damage in Old Properties of Kolkata 

Many properties in places such as Shyambazar, Salt Lake, Dum Dum and Behala have wood frames, old beams or moisture-inclined foundations — ideal for termite colonies. 

Warning signs include:

Kolkata’s humidity accelerates termite reproduction. When destruction is noticed, the infestation can be quite advanced.
