Sulekha unveiled the results of a study undertaken on the PEST CONTROL SERVICES category, one of the many Local Services categories it serves. The study shows a 90% upsurge in online requests for Pest Control services across India in the last one year.
The yearly outbreak of Dengue and Chikungunya in metropolitan cities like Delhi, Mumbai & Bangalore is one of the biggest concerns for the citizens and the government. Residents of these cities are now getting more aware about these dreaded diseases and taking precautionary measures to prevent their outbreak. Increased awareness has also led to people taking steps around not only getting rid of mosquitoes but pests of all kinds.
This study is based on an analysis of over 400,000 searches on Sulekha in the last one year (September 2015 to August 2016) for Pest Control services, and nearly 30,000 online requests in this Local Services category on the portal. The study covers 8 key metros in the country - Delhi–NCR, Mumbai, Bangalore, Chennai, Hyderabad, Kolkata, Ahmadabad and Pune.
