Pest Control
For apartments, independent houses, restaurants and factories in Old Dhaka: trained cleaners, professional equipment and a clear price agreed before work starts.
Pest Control is as much about health as appearance, which is why Dhaka Cleaners treats it as planned, careful work rather than a quick job. In Old Dhaka, we begin by understanding the problem and the property, explain any preparation you need to make and follow safety steps designed to protect your family, staff and pets. Afterwards, you receive practical advice on keeping the problem from returning.
Old Dhaka is the historic core of the city along the Buriganga, home to Lalbagh Fort, Ahsan Manzil and the Sadarghat river terminal. Its narrow lanes are lined with old multi-storey buildings where shops, wholesale traders and small workshops share space with family homes. Dhaka Cleaners provides home deep cleaning, shop and godown cleaning, kitchen cleaning and pest control here, with teams that plan carefully for lanes where vehicles cannot go.
Like much of Dhaka, Old Dhaka deals with two stubborn problems: fine dust from roads and building sites, and damp during the monsoon. Dust settles on grills, fans, ledges and floors within days, while humidity encourages mould in bathrooms, musty cupboards and stains that set quickly. When we plan pest control here, we look at how these conditions have affected your property and focus the time where it will make the most noticeable difference.
Old multi-storey, mixed-use buildings with shops, godowns and small workshops on the lower floors and family homes above, plus newer apartment buildings, wholesale markets and eateries.
Built-up grime on stairs and old floors, kitchen grease, hard-water stains and neglected water tanks are common in homes. Shops and godowns need dust and debris clearance and pest control for cockroaches and rodents; eateries need regular degreasing.
Dhaka Cleaners keeps the process simple. Most of the planning happens before the team arrives, which means less waiting and fewer surprises on the day.
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.
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.
If activity continues beyond the expected period, we review the situation with you rather than leaving you guessing.
Inspection identifies the species and where it hides, so the method targets the problem instead of spraying everywhere.
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)

Dhaka Cleaners covers Old Dhaka and nearby areas including Wari, New Market, Keraniganj and Motijheel. Same-day visits are sometimes possible, subject to team availability, but booking a day or two ahead gives us the best chance of offering the time you want. Larger jobs are scheduled once the scope is agreed, so the right team and equipment can be assigned.
We cover Old Dhaka on planned visits. Same-day service may be possible for small jobs, subject to team availability and access; larger jobs need a quick site check.
Many lanes are too narrow for vehicles, so equipment is carried in from the nearest main road, which can add time to the job. Parking is scarce and traffic heavy, particularly around Sadarghat and the wholesale markets.
Common questions about pest control in Old Dhaka.
Yes. We park on the nearest accessible road and carry the equipment in. Share the lane name and a nearby landmark when booking, and tell us about any stairs, so we can plan the team size and timing.
Yes. We clear dust and packaging debris, clean shelving, floors and washrooms, and can add pest control for cockroaches and rodents. Work is usually done after trading hours, and photos help us quote.
Food businesses usually need a recurring programme rather than a one-off treatment, often monthly, because deliveries, waste and drains keep bringing in new pests. The frequency is agreed after an inspection of your kitchen, storage and waste areas.
For gel bait treatments you can usually stay at home. For sprays, people and pets should keep out of the treated rooms while the work is done and until surfaces are dry, which is usually a few hours. The technician will give you the exact re-entry time for the products used.
Mosquito treatment is available and works best when combined with removing breeding sites, such as water in flower-pot trays, AC drip trays, rooftop containers and blocked drains. The technician will point out likely breeding spots around your property and explain how to keep them dry, especially during the monsoon.
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.
