Why Dwarka is Facing a "Lizard Explosion" in 2026: A Survival Guide for Residents
If you’re living in Dwarka, you know the drill. You walk into your kitchen in Sector 11 to grab a late-night snack, flip the switch, and—boom—there’s a scaly tail vanishing behind your expensive modular cabinets.
Lately, it feels like the "lizard problem" in our sub-city has gone from a minor annoyance to a full-blown household crisis. From the posh high-rises in Sector 10 and Sector 22 to the independent floors over in Dwarka Mor, these geckos are everywhere. At All In One PCI, our phones haven't stopped ringing—we’ve seen a nearly 40% jump in lizard calls from Dwarka just this year. But why is our neighborhood specifically being targeted?
The "Dwarka Factor": Why They Love Your Sector
Look, Dwarka isn't like the congested parts of Old Delhi. Our sub-city was planned with lots of green space, but that beauty comes with a price.
The Green Belt Curse: If you're in Sector 9 or Sector 19, you’re right next to those lush green belts and the Najafgarh drain. It’s an insect paradise. And where there are bugs, the lizards follow like it’s a free buffet.
High-Rise Highways: Living on the 10th floor in a Sector 10 society doesn't protect you. Those common plumbing shafts are basically vertical highways for reptiles. They can climb from the basement to your penthouse in the time it takes you to drink a cup of chai.
The AC Pipe Gap: Most modern homes here have split ACs. Usually, the guys who install them leave a tiny gap where the copper pipe goes out. To a lizard, that’s a "Welcome Home" sign.
Timing the Invasion (The Lizard Clock)
Lizards don't just show up randomly; they follow the Delhi weather just like we do.
The Monsoon Frenzy (July – Sept): When the rains hit Sector 23 or Sector 7, the humidity goes through the roof. This brings out the moths and winged ants. If your balcony lights are on, you’re basically inviting the lizards to dinner.
The Summer Shift (April – June): When it’s 46°C outside in Palam, lizards want what you want: Air Conditioning. They move indoors to stay cool, hiding behind your curtains or inside your wooden Mandirs.
The Winter "Ghost" Problem: People think they disappear in winter. Nope. In Sector 12, they just crawl deeper into your false ceilings or junction boxes to stay warm. The real nightmare? When they die in there and leave that mystery "dead rat" smell that ruins your living room's vibe for a month.
The Real Cost (It’s Not Just About Being "Creepy")
I always tell my clients: a lizard is a financial risk.
The ₹25,000 Short Circuit: Lizards love the warmth of an Inverter AC’s motherboard (PCB). We recently had a case in Dwarka Sector 12 where a lizard fried a PCB, costing the homeowner ₹22,000. Professional lizard control costs less than a tenth of that.
The Kitchen Hazard: They spend their nights in drains. When they crawl over your chakla-belan or your kid's lunchbox in a Sector 4 kitchen, they’re dropping Salmonella. That "stomach bug" your toddler has might not be the weather—it might be the lizard.
Wall Stains: If you’ve spent money on premium plastic emulsion paint in your Sector 18 bungalow, lizard poop is your worst enemy. It’s highly acidic and leaves permanent yellow stains that no amount of scrubbing can fix.
Why the "Old School" Tricks Aren't Working
Let’s be honest, we’ve all tried the DIY stuff:
Egg Shells: These are a myth. Lizards are smart; they realize within a day that the "bird" isn't coming back and they’ll walk right over the shell.
Peacock Feathers: They look nice, but a hungry lizard in Sector 1 doesn't care about decor. If there are moths to eat, they’re staying.
Onions/Garlic: Unless you want your whole house to smell like a sabzi mandi, skip this. It’s a temporary fix at best.
How We Actually Fix It (The All In One PCI Way)
We don't just "spray and pray." Our team uses a 2026-tech approach:
Herbal "No-Go" Zones: we use CIB-approved herbal gels that don't kill the lizard (so no dead smells!) but make your walls feel "vibrating" or uncomfortable to them. They’ll choose your neighbor's house over yours.
Closing the Gates: We seal those 5mm gaps under your doors and around your AC pipes with industrial sealants.
Killing the Buffet: No bugs, no lizards. It’s that simple.
People Also Ask (The Real Stuff)
Q: Is lizard poop actually dangerous for my dog? A: Sadly, yes. If your puppy catches or licks a lizard, they can get hit with Salmonella, which means vomiting, fever, and a very expensive trip to the vet.
Q: Are the chemicals safe for my baby? A: Absolutely. In Sector 22, we use odorless, 100% non-toxic herbal formulations. You don't even have to leave the room while we work.
Q: Why are they always behind my LED TV? A: Warmth and darkness. It’s the perfect "nest" for them to lay eggs.
