Bed bug treatment in Mumbai costs ₹3,500 for a 1 BHK, ₹4,500 for a 2 BHK and ₹5,400 for a 3 BHK. Inspection is free. Treatment is 100°C thermal steam that destroys the eggs followed by a CIB-approved low-odour spray in the cracks, with a follow-up visit at 15 days included.
A Sai Pest Control treats bed bugs across Mumbai — the Western line from Andheri to Dahisar, the Central line from Kurla to Mulund, and the Harbour line through Chembur and Wadala. Operating since 2001 under an Insecticide Licence issued by the Department of Agriculture, Government of Maharashtra.
Bed bugs — known as khatmal (खटमल) in Hindi and dhekun (ढेकूण) in Marathi — are carried into a home, not created by it. A clean flat is just as likely to get them as any other. Cleanliness is not the deciding factor.
People search for this in different ways — bed bug pest control, khatmal pest control, bed bug removal, or simply a solution for a flat where nothing else has worked. It is the same job: a free inspection, 100°C steam into the seams and joints where the eggs sit, residual spray into the cracks, and a follow-up visit at 15 days. Bed bugs are the only pest this division handles, which is why the method is built around them rather than adapted from general pest control.
For cockroach, termite, rodent, mosquito or mite work, our full-service division is at asaipestcontrol.com.
Three questions worth asking any company before you book.
You are welcome to ask us those three questions too. The answers are on this page: the follow-up is included, we have used steam alongside spray since 2007, and if we see that the problem is coming from next door we will say so even though it means a smaller job for us.
Bed bug treatment in Mumbai costs ₹3,500 for a 1 BHK, ₹4,500 for a 2 BHK and ₹5,400 for a 3 BHK. Inspection is free and carries no obligation. Every residential price includes the follow-up visit at 15 days — it is not charged separately. Hotels, PGs and commercial properties are quoted after an inspection.
If the infestation has spread further than expected, we tell you the revised scope before starting work — never after. For a full breakdown of what changes the final figure, see our bed bug treatment cost guide.
All three suburban corridors — Western, Central and Harbour. Work is spread fairly evenly across them.
Because of the distance from our Khopat office we confirm a visit window rather than an exact arrival time. We would rather be honest about that than promise a time we cannot keep in Mumbai traffic.
Kurla, Ghatkopar, Vikhroli, Kanjurmarg, Bhandup, Mulund, Sion, Matunga, Dadar East
Housing societies, co-operative housing and standalone buildings. The closest Mumbai corridor to us, which helps when an inspection is needed quickly.
Chembur, Govandi, Mankhurd, Wadala, Sewri, Chunabhatti, Tilak Nagar
Residential complexes, rental flats and commercial units. A high proportion of rented accommodation, where furniture changes hands often and travels with it.
Bandra, Khar, Santacruz, Vile Parle, Andheri West & East, Jogeshwari, Goregaon, Malad, Kandivali, Borivali, Dahisar
High-rise flats, PG and co-living accommodation, hotels and older buildings side by side. The furthest corridor from us, so the visit window matters most here.
If your locality is not listed, call and ask. We cover more of Mumbai than fits on one page.
Bed bugs are carried in. In Mumbai the four common routes are second-hand furniture, items delivered from outside, laundry sent out of the house, and luggage brought back from travel.
A used bed, sofa or wardrobe is the single most common source we find. Bed bugs sit inside joints, screw holes and the underside of frames, where a quick look will not spot them.
A new mattress is not itself infested. The risk is everything it passed through — the warehouse, the vehicle, the people handling it. In a city where goods move through shared loading spaces, an item can pick up bed bugs anywhere along that chain.
Clothes and bedsheets that travel to a shared washing or pressing point and return in a bag that sat beside other households’ laundry.
A suitcase placed on a luggage rack or a hotel bed, brought home and opened on your own bed. Most people never suspect this one, because the bag looks clean.
Knowing which route applies to your home changes what we inspect first, so tell us if any of these happened recently.
Check five things with a torch: the mattress seams, small dark spots the size of a pen dot on the sheet, the bed frame joints and the wall behind the headboard, pale shed skins near the stitching, and a sweet musty smell in a closed room.
Bites alone do not confirm it, because skin reactions vary from person to person and some people show nothing at all. Our guide on how to identify bed bugs shows what the bugs, eggs, shed skins and dark spots actually look like.
This page is for identification purposes only. For any skin reaction, please consult a qualified doctor. We are pest control specialists, not medical practitioners.
Send us a photo on WhatsApp and we will tell you whether it is a bed bug, at no cost and with no obligation to book. Many bites turn out to be something else entirely, and you deserve to know before spending anything.
Mumbai housing is not one thing, and bed bug work changes completely with the building. Old chawls, high-rise towers, PG accommodation and hotels each need a different approach, a different inspection focus and a different schedule.
Timber fittings, shared walls and long-settled furniture give bed bugs many hiding points. These jobs need patient inspection rather than speed.
Cleaner construction with fewer cracks, but bed bugs travel between adjoining flats through service ducts and wall gaps. Treating one flat while the neighbouring flat stays untreated is a common reason a problem returns.
Occupants change every few months and belongings arrive and leave constantly. These need several beds planned together, not one room at a time.
For a hospitality business a bed bug complaint in a public review is a commercial problem as much as a pest problem. This work is scheduled discreetly, room by room, around occupancy. Three large Mumbai hotels are currently on ongoing programmes with us, and we do not name them.
A room where an elderly person or patient stays all day behaves differently. The mattress is rarely lifted, the bed is rarely moved from the wall, and the space behind and under it stays undisturbed for long stretches. Bed bugs settle faster in exactly those conditions, and the problem is usually noticed later than elsewhere in the house.
Tell us before the visit so we can plan it properly rather than rush it — including preparation and re-entry timing that works around the person staying in that room.
The situation. Heavy furniture load — a large bed and wardrobe against the same wall, plus a second bed in the adjoining room where an elderly family member spent most of the day.
Found on inspection. Activity in two places: the joints of the wooden bed frame in the main bedroom, and the wall side of the second bed, which had not been moved in a long time.
Treated. Room by room. Steam through the frame joints and seams first, then spray into cracks and behind fittings. The family received specific preparation instructions for the second room.
Follow-up at 15 days. Completed within the standard window, with clear re-entry guidance given for both rooms.
Customer name and address withheld for privacy.
Four steps: free inspection, preparation guidance, treatment, then a follow-up visit at 15 days included in the price. Two methods are used together — 100°C thermal steam where the eggs sit, and a CIB-approved low-odour residual spray in the cracks steam cannot reach.
Either method alone leaves a gap. Steam reaches eggs that spray cannot. Spray holds in the cracks that steam cannot stay in.
Keep treated rooms closed for three to four hours while the spray dries, then open windows and doors for twenty to thirty minutes to ventilate before going back in. Your technician will confirm exact timings for your property.
Instructions change with the treatment carried out and who lives in the home, so ask your technician rather than relying on a general rule — particularly if there are children, elderly people or anyone bedridden in the house.
Bed bug treatment in Mumbai costs ₹3,500 for a 1 BHK, ₹4,500 for a 2 BHK and ₹5,400 for a 3 BHK. Inspection is free. Every residential price includes a follow-up visit at 15 days. Hotels, PGs and commercial properties are quoted after inspection.
Yes. The inspection is free and carries no obligation to book. If we find that the insect is not a bed bug, we will tell you that and point you towards the correct treatment instead.
The Central and Harbour lines are about an hour from our Khopat office and the Western line about ninety minutes. Because of that distance we confirm a visit window rather than an exact arrival time, since we would rather be honest than promise a time Mumbai traffic will not allow.
A Sai Pest Control covers all Western line localities including Andheri West, Andheri East, Jogeshwari, Goregaon, Malad, Kandivali, Borivali and Dahisar. These are about ninety minutes from our Khopat office, so we confirm a visit window rather than a fixed arrival time.
Yes. We treat individual flats and full housing societies across the Central line, including Mulund, Bhandup, Kanjurmarg, Vikhroli, Ghatkopar and Kurla. The Central line is about an hour from our office, which helps when an inspection is needed quickly.
Speak to us before deciding. In buildings with shared walls, bed bugs move between adjoining flats through service ducts and wall gaps. Treating one flat while the neighbouring flat stays untreated is one of the most common reasons an infestation comes back.
Usually not the item itself. The risk comes from the transport and handling chain it passed through — warehouses, vehicles and the people who moved it. Tell us when the item arrived, because it helps us decide where to inspect first.
The 100°C thermal steam stage uses no chemicals at all. The residual spray is a CIB-approved low-odour formulation applied into cracks and crevices rather than on open surfaces. Tell us before the visit who is in the home, especially if anyone is bedridden, and follow the aftercare instructions your technician gives you.
Yes. Hotel, lodge and guest house work is planned room by room around your occupancy. Tell us how many rooms are affected and we will work out a schedule with you. These jobs are quoted after an inspection.
A standard flat takes 1.5 to 2.5 hours depending on property size, how many rooms are affected and how established the infestation is. The follow-up visit is scheduled 15 days after the first treatment.
No. Bed bugs are not known to transmit disease. They cause bites, itching, disturbed sleep and considerable stress, which is reason enough to treat an infestation promptly.
Usually not. Eggs and insects hidden deep in cracks can survive a single visit, which is why a follow-up visit at 15 days is included in the price rather than charged separately.
Tell us your locality, which line you are on, and how many rooms are affected. We will confirm a visit window and explain what preparation is needed.
