Pest Control in Nazimabad, Karachi

Old Karachi houses, old pest problems

Nazimabad No. 1 to 7 was laid out in the early years after 1947, and many houses still have original features. Liaquatabad, Golimar and Rizvia are dense, busy and full of small businesses. What that means for pests:

• Original wooden doors, windows and cupboards have often never been treated, so termite and wood borer damage has had decades to build.
• Old drainage and open nalas bring American cockroaches and rats to ground floors.
• Joint family houses with several kitchens let German cockroaches spread between floors.
• Markets, furniture shops and workshops in Liaquatabad store food, wood and cloth — ideal for rodents and wood borers.
• Water tanks and rooftop storage breed mosquitoes after rain.

Houses here are often repaired and extended in stages, which leaves gaps and cracks at every old joint.
