The Pest Situation in Maharashtra
Mumbai's pest challenge is a function of density, age, and monsoon. Chawl structures in central Mumbai carry decades of cockroach colonization. The monsoon season sends rat populations surging through lower floors and ground-level commercial spaces. High-rise apartments create vertical pest migration corridors that standard treatment can't address without floor-by-floor coordination. Pune's IT corridor faces its own cockroach and rodent pressure. PCPI's Maharashtra team is its largest in India.
