The Pest Situation in Punjab
Punjab's agricultural economy creates a direct and seasonal rodent problem in urban areas. As harvest operations begin, rodents displaced from fields migrate into surrounding residential and commercial zones. Ludhiana's industrial density creates a year-round cockroach and pest pressure in factory and warehouse environments. The Golden Temple in Amritsar requires the highest hygiene standards of any public facility in India ā PCPI supports that standard.
