Pest Control
For apartments and independent houses in Uttara DOHS: 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 Uttara DOHS, 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.
Uttara DOHS is a planned residential neighbourhood in the Uttara area. DOHS (Defence Officers' Housing Scheme) neighbourhoods in Dhaka are usually gated communities with controlled entry and an owners' society that manages security. We provide home cleaning, deep cleaning, move-in cleaning and water tank cleaning for flats and houses here, and coordinate entry with residents before each visit.
Hygiene risks in Uttara DOHS follow the seasons. The monsoon can bring waterlogging, damp and more mosquitoes; the dry months carry dust into tanks and ducts; and warm weather all year suits cockroaches and other pests. Properties here (apartments and independent houses) each have their weak points, from rooftop tanks and underground reservoirs to kitchens, drains and store rooms, and pest control is planned around the ones that matter at your address.
Apartment buildings and independent family houses on planned residential roads, with few commercial premises inside the neighbourhood.
Useful services here include deep cleaning, move-in and move-out cleaning, sofa and carpet cleaning and water tank cleaning. As elsewhere in north Dhaka, dust and monsoon damp are the recurring challenges.
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.
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.
If activity continues beyond the expected period, we review the situation with you rather than leaving you guessing.
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 Uttara DOHS with nearby areas such as Uttara Sector 1, Uttara Sector 2, Uttara Sector 3 and Uttara Sector 4 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.
Visits in Uttara DOHS are scheduled once entry is confirmed with the resident; short-notice bookings are subject to team availability.
Entry is usually controlled at the gate, so the resident should inform security of the visit in advance. We can share the team's names beforehand if the gate or building asks for them.
Common questions about pest control in Uttara DOHS.
Entry rules are set by the neighbourhood's security, so please check with them or your building management. In most cases the resident informs the gate of the visit and the team's arrival time, and we follow whatever registration process is in place.
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.
We use products intended for indoor pest control, apply them according to label directions and place baits out of reach. Keep children and pets away from treated areas until they are dry, cover aquariums and move pet birds to another room. Please tell us about infants, pregnancy or anyone with asthma so we can adjust the method.
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.
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.
