Pest Control
For apartments, independent houses, restaurants and schools in Bashundhara: trained cleaners, professional equipment and a clear price agreed before work starts.
The quickest way to plan pest control in Bashundhara is often a few photos. Send them on WhatsApp with a short description of the space, and Dhaka Cleaners can usually suggest a scope, a team size and a likely duration without a site visit. Larger or unusual jobs may still need someone to look in person first. Once the details are agreed, we confirm a time that works around your household or business.
Bashundhara is a large private residential development in north-east Dhaka, sitting beside Progoti Sarani and Kuril. Most of it is the Bashundhara Residential Area, laid out in lettered blocks, where modern apartment buildings stand alongside independent houses, private universities and Evercare Hospital Dhaka. Dhaka Cleaners cleans flats, family houses and newly handed-over units here, as well as the offices, cafés and schools that serve the neighbourhood, with the price agreed before any work starts.
In residential Bashundhara, hygiene problems rarely stay inside one home. Pests travel through shared drains and service ducts, one underground reservoir or rooftop tank often serves a whole building, and stagnant water on roofs and balconies collects during the monsoon. That is why pest control here often works best when the caretaker or building committee is involved, so shared areas are dealt with properly rather than one flat at a time.
Mostly multi-storey apartment buildings with independent houses and duplexes mixed in. Universities, schools, a large private hospital, cafés and small offices serve the residential blocks.
Construction dust on windows, grilles and balconies is a constant issue while nearby plots are being built. Newly handed-over flats typically need paint, cement and sticker residue removed before move-in. Larger homes with several bathrooms benefit from periodic limescale and mould treatment, especially after the monsoon.
Health and safety shape every stage, from the first inspection and preparation advice to the aftercare guidance you receive once the work is complete.
Tell us which pests you see, where and how often; photos of insects or droppings help us identify them.
The technician checks kitchens, bathrooms, drains, furniture and entry points to find hiding places and the source.
You receive clear instructions on what to cover, empty or move, and how long people and pets should stay away.
Gel bait, crevice sprays, bait stations or space treatment are applied according to the pest and the area.
We explain what to expect over the following days, which areas not to mop and how to prevent reinfestation.
For pests such as bed bugs a planned second visit is often needed; otherwise we review progress if activity continues.
Baits are placed out of reach and sprays are limited to where they are needed, with clear re-entry advice.
Gel bait and crevice treatments mean many homes need little preparation and no long absence.
We point out the entry points, moisture and hygiene issues that keep bringing pests back.
Restaurants, offices and clinics can be treated after hours, with a dated visit record on request.
Equipment: Depending on the pest, we use applicator guns for gel bait, hand-held and pressurised sprayers for crack-and-crevice treatment, tamper-resistant bait stations and traps, and fogging or misting equipment for mosquito space treatment.
Starting from ৳ 2,500 per treatment (minimum)
Pest Control starts from ৳ 2,500 per treatment (minimum). The final price depends on the size of the area or the number of tanks, how established the problem is and access, and it is confirmed after a free assessment.
Travel across Dhaka can be slow at peak times, so Dhaka Cleaners groups work in Bashundhara with nearby areas such as Badda, Baridhara, Nikunja and Khilkhet and agrees arrival windows in advance. If your preferred slot is already taken, we will suggest the nearest alternative. Same-day requests are welcome, though they remain subject to team availability.
Bashundhara jobs are normally booked a few days ahead. Same-day visits may be possible if you contact us early, subject to team availability.
Most buildings have a guard desk and building management, so we share the team's details in advance and confirm lift or service-lift use. Traffic on Progoti Sarani and around Kuril can slow arrival at peak hours, so we build travel time into the schedule.
Common questions about pest control in Bashundhara.
Many apartment buildings in Bashundhara ask for visitors and service teams to be registered at the guard desk, and some need the management office to approve lift use for equipment. When you book, we ask for the flat number and a contact person, and we can share the team leader's name and phone number beforehand so the guards are expecting us.
Yes. Because so many buildings in Bashundhara are new, move-in and post-construction cleans are frequent requests. We remove cement and paint marks, clean inside cabinets, wash bathroom and kitchen fittings, and clean windows and grilles. The time needed depends on the size of the flat and how much building residue is left, so we confirm scope and price before starting.
Bed bug eggs are not always affected by the first treatment, so a second visit is often needed to deal with newly hatched insects. We explain the plan and timing after inspecting your beds and furniture.
For gel bait, simply clear the counters. For spray treatments, empty the cabinets to be treated, store food, utensils and toothbrushes in sealed containers or another room, and cover your water filter. The technician will confirm the details when you book.
Many treatments can be scheduled within a few days, and urgent problems are prioritised where possible, subject to team availability. Tell us which pests you are seeing and send photos if you can, so the technician arrives prepared.
Yes. Cockroaches and other pests move between flats through drains and service ducts, so a coordinated treatment across the building often gives longer-lasting results. We can plan it with the building committee or management, including shared areas such as stairwells, waste points and drains.
