Case Studies
Real-world outcomes from Sri Lankan hospitality, logistics, and residential sites
These summaries show how inspection, treatment, revisit planning, and prevention adjustments combine to deliver more stable results.
Hotel kitchen cockroach elimination
A coastal hotel kitchen reduced recurring night-time cockroach sightings by combining baiting, drain attention, and stricter grease management.
The property had a recurring roach problem centred on hot-line equipment, floor drains, and a cramped dry store. Staff had already used several consumer products, but sightings kept returning because harbourage inside equipment voids and drain pressure were never addressed properly.
PestControl.lk performed a detailed kitchen inspection, placed targeted gel bait, treated crack zones, and identified sanitation changes that the in-house team needed to maintain. The hotel also improved drain cleaning, grease handling, and cardboard storage between deliveries.
By the end of the staged service window, the kitchen reported a sharp drop in live sightings and improved confidence ahead of a high-occupancy period. Monitoring remained in place to confirm the decline and keep future service evidence-based.
Warehouse rodent proofing
A stock warehouse near agricultural transport routes reduced rodent sightings through bait station mapping, proofing, and better pallet spacing.
The warehouse experienced regular rodent sightings near loading areas and lower rack zones, particularly after rainy periods. Bags, loose packaging, and refuse handling gaps were helping activity persist even after ad-hoc baiting.
Our team mapped the site, installed secure monitoring points, and highlighted several proofing failures around roller doors and service penetrations. The client also improved pallet spacing, waste segregation, and visual inspection access.
Over the revisit cycle, sightings became less frequent and trend notes showed reduced activity in the highest-risk zones. The site kept the reporting structure in place so future spikes could be addressed early.
Coastal termite treatment for a villa
A coastal villa with active mud tubes and damaged skirting received a combined baiting and corrective treatment plan.
The villa owner noticed blistering paint and hollow-sounding skirting near an exterior wall exposed to heavy rain and garden irrigation. Inspection confirmed active termite movement from an exterior moisture-prone edge into several timber elements.
PestControl.lk carried out corrective treatment in the affected sections and installed monitored points around the perimeter where the colony pressure was highest. The owner also corrected drainage and removed timber contact with soil around the building.
By the follow-up period, live activity had dropped sharply and the property moved into a monitoring-based protection plan. The client chose to continue periodic inspections because of the coastal location and timber finish profile.
