The Pest Situation in Meghalaya
Meghalaya holds the world record for annual rainfall. That same rainfall creates pest breeding conditions that are unmatched anywhere in India. Shillong's colonial architecture is under constant termite pressure from the persistent moisture. Homes across the state face cockroach and rodent pressure that standard dry-season treatment schedules cannot control. PCPI's Meghalaya deployment runs on a continuous schedule rather than a seasonal one ā because there is no off-season here.
