Delhi leads the pack with a 97% jump, followed by Kolkata (68%), Ahmedabad (45%), Bangalore (19%), and Mumbai (13%).
Beyond mosquitoes, there has been a significant rise in demand for services targeting other pests. Pest control services for lizards, honey bees, bed bugs, and snakes have witnessed substantial growth, with increases of 183%, 90%, 44%, and 33%, respectively.
The rise in dengue cases highlights the importance of preventive measures such as maintaining clean surroundings, using mosquito repellents, and seeking medical attention promptly. Community awareness and individual efforts are essential in combating this disease.
