What Pest Control India (Pvt) Ltd does

Pest Control India (Pvt) Ltd (PCI), founded in 1954 by N.S. Rao and headquartered in Mumbai, is India's first and largest dedicated pest management company. PCI delivers professional pest management services, proprietary pest control products, sterilization equipment, and bio-control solutions to residential, commercial, and industrial customers across India through a countrywide network of over 220 offices and 5,500-7,000 employees. The company serves six principal customer segments: residential homeowners, food processing and manufacturing (named accounts include Adani Wilmar and Mondelez India), pharmaceutical and healthcare, hospitality and restaurants, offices and commercial buildings, and the agriculture and horticulture sector. Service delivery is anchored in an Intelligent Pest Management (IPM) methodology that integrates chemical and non-chemical methods, backed by in-house R&D at wholly-owned subsidiary Bio-Control Research Laboratories (BCRL) — India's first commercial insectary, established in 1981.

PCI's product portfolio spans consumer DIY products (TermiSeal, PestSeal, Roban, Trubble Gum, Catch-A-Roach, Crazy-Fly Trap, Experto racquet), commercial flying insect control systems (PEST-O-Flash, Spider, Illume), UVC germicidal air sterilizers (Medixair), ethylene oxide and plasma sterilization equipment (Sterifume, plasma sterilizers in partnership with Chengdu Laoken), hermetic grain storage (GrainPro), 24+ lab-synthesized pheromone lures for agricultural pests, and proprietary bio-pesticides and traps (Niprot, Su-Mona, Bio-Jaal, Neem Baan, Lastraw, NEELBO, Wota-T, Coco-Trapp, Fligh-T, Del-Ta, Fero-T). The company operates a chemical formulation and gas filling plant at Mira Road near Mumbai and a research campus with glasshouses and experimental fields at BCRL, Bangalore.

Revenue is generated across four streams: recurring professional pest management services via annual residential and customized commercial contracts; one-time product sales through PCI's e-commerce store (shop.pestcontrolindia.com), Amazon India, and hardware retail; sterilization and related equipment hardware sales to healthcare, pharmaceutical, and food processing customers; and bio-control products sold through the BCRL division to agriculture and horticulture customers. PCI maintains exclusive distribution partnerships with international technology leaders including Brandenburg UK (Spider, Illume), IGEBA Germany (thermal foggers/ULV generators), Exosect UK (Exoroach), Trece USA (StorGard), GrainPro USA (hermetic storage), Marolex Poland, Termatrac Australia, and Chengdu Laoken China. The company operates a 50:50 joint venture — PCI Cannon Hygiene Pvt. Ltd. — with OCS Group UK (feminine hygiene and bio-medical waste, since 2001), a Thailand joint venture Cannon Pest Management with PCS (since 2010), and provides technical consultancy in Oman (since 1980) and the UAE (since 1981).
