Pest Control in Saddar & Central Karachi

Why old Karachi needs a different approach

Saddar and the old city are Karachi’s oldest commercial districts, and the buildings show it:

• Old stone and brick buildings have cracks, hollow walls and wooden floors where cockroaches and rats live out of reach.
• Interconnected drainage means cockroaches from one building’s drains appear in the next, and treating a single shop rarely lasts.
• Markets, fish and meat shops in Kharadar and Lyari create intense fly pressure that spreads into food businesses nearby.
• Hotels, guest houses and hostels see repeated khatmal problems from constant guest turnover.
• Warehouses and stock rooms behind shops store food, cloth and paper — all attractive to rodents.

Here, a single spray is almost never enough. What works is a scheduled programme with drain treatment, rodent stations outside and proofing inside.

Shops, restaurants and clinics

Most of our Saddar clients are businesses on monthly plans:

• Restaurants and food outlets — gel baiting, drain treatment, fly control and a pest log for inspections. See restaurant pest control.
• Cloth, paper and electronics shops — rodent control with sealed basement and drain openings, because a rat in stock is expensive.
• Clinics and pharmacies — low-odour treatments and documented visits.
• Guest houses and hotels — room-by-room khatmal treatment with records.

Flats above shops benefit from being treated on the same visit as the business below — the pests share the same building.
