How to Ensure Quality Pest Control in Bangalore

Pests are unwelcome guests, and there is no doubting that. We are happy to offer quality pest control services across Mumbai, Bangalore and Delhi. Through years of serving our patrons, we realized that conducting a thorough audit of residences is crucial to keep the home health up. In a city like Bangalore, the audits and consequent services are even more effective.

What is a Pest Control Audit?

Simply put, a Pest Control Audit is a thorough checkup of your home, where we note down potentially harmful insects, and organisms that have decided to live in your home. Such pests, if left unattended, will spread at an alarming rate, consuming your resources. In such cases, we will send in our professionals for a full pest control service customized to your household requirements. Certain pests that we look out for include:
  1. Termites Control: This breed of cockroaches feed on all wooden based structures in homes, such as furniture like chairs, tables, stands, etc. These white creatures have the potential to bring down entire buildings and can be very destructive over a time and must be treated as soon as possible.
  2. Rodents Control: This includes rats and mice that leave excrement around the house, and chew on doors and pipes causing severe structural problems over a period of time. They leave behind strong and unpleasant odours, and are carriers of many diseases.
  3. Bed Bugs Control: These are small insects that live under your bed, and are attracted to heat. As a result of this, you may have disturbed sleep and bite marks throughout your body in the morning.
  4. Cockroaches, and other pests: Sometimes, there are also other pests such as cockroaches, lizards, spiders, ants, and mosquitoes, some of which can cause irritation and infections if bitten by them. Some even spread diseases such as malaria and dengue, which can cause major illnesses, and sometimes even death.
Mr. Homecare will do a thorough pest control job and ensure that your house is pest free. We also suggest that you ask for one of our general pest management AMC services in order to continue having a pest free house for an extended period of time, so you don’t have to worry about it.

Happy Home Cleaning for Supal Sood

When Mr. Homecare entered the home cleaning business early last year, our focus stayed Mumbai. However, Bangalore has always been a city we are fond of, and we had an office there within the next few months. Led by Raghav Kapur, Linda Williams, Saarang Ganapathi and Sidhartha Mandanna – the team continues to forge ahead and serve more customers month on month.

Home Cleaning in Bangalore is tricky

It is trickier than Mumbai, we mean. On our home ground, key challenges include the art of home cleaning – recruiting the right people and training them to care. The most crucial aspect of cleaning a residential or a commercial property really well is not the technical competency of the team, but their ability to empathize with the customer and truly care about the work at hand. You might just miss corners no matter how good you are, for every space is different. However, when you care enough, you do not.
Bangalore brings in a whole host of challenges for home cleaning, complete with a different public transportation system than Mumbai, the sheer distance and the traffic woes. Many of our team members are not locals. Ensuring that we have professional teams delivering consistent service takes time. However, our Bangalore team does an amazing job of keeping our patrons super happy with the work.

Home Cleaning for Supal Sood

Despite being one of the biggest home services providers in India, we still get jittery when a home cleaning service is scheduled. We wait with bated breath to know whether our customers are happy or not, and rejoice when they are. If they are not, we rush and fix what we did wrong. Supal Sood, being utterly delightful, was happy and sent in the following text:
“Just awesome! Really good service.
The team threw no tantrums at all.
They did the job really efficiently.”
We wonder why he expected us to throw a tantrum, though we are glad we did not throw one. It is heartening to know that Supal liked the level of efficiency with which the job was conducted. We are also looking forward to serve more Bangalore homes! Thank you for your love and support.

Home Cleaning for Atul Nayak

When it comes to the home cleaning business, turnaround tales are a plenty. With a service that’s so intimate and focused on human capital, companies are bound to make mistakes. Customers cannot have the generosity to forgive our errors so easily, it would be unfair to expect this out of them. Winners stand apart from the crowd by managing breathtaking service recoveries. It takes ten good cleanups to win a customer’s trust, yet only a single one to break it. How do you think we fare on this chart?

Not exactly pleased with home cleaning

Atul and Mr. Homecare did not really start off on a good note. We underestimated the scope of work and sent across a team that was well equipped, but short staffed. They were brave and decided to tackle the overwhelming load. However, it is always risky to have a smaller team managing a larger cleanup. Atul was not pleased.

We set to action

He was a persistent customer, and we were good listeners. On realizing that we were majorly goofing up this home cleaning session, an additional team was dispatched. This team was adequately equipped to conduct a happy cleanup. We crossed our fingers and hoped for a good turnaround. Who likes unhappy customers? Even unhappy customers do not like being unhappy.

Turnaround successful

At Mr. Homecare and Hammer and Mop, we focus on communicating the value of our work to our front line teams. They need to know that their work matters, and it helps make this world a cleaner space. Dignity of labor has been a consistent issue in our part of the world, and ensuring our teams are respected plays a major role in retaining them. Our cleaning teams love their work, and that shows when they are cleaning our place up.


Atul noted their honest smiles and willingness to pitch in their best effort. Were we flawless in execution? Did we not miss any of the corners? We probably missed a many, but also graciously fixed our errors on having them pointed out. Being a delightful customer, Atul points out the hard work put in by Ashish and Baby on the field, and our team leader Kamlakar as well. He acknowledges the prompt coordination by Nasreen from the Communications’ team and we’re super happy he noted down everyone’s names.
Thank you for your patience with us, Atul. We owe you one!
