Before we start: what we know about Albaha
The centre of Albaha sits about 2178 m above sea level (SRTM open elevation data).

Does a business in Albaha really need a yearly plan for scorpions and snakes, or is a one-off treatment enough? The centre of Albaha sits about 2178 m above sea level, and that high, rugged setting means the surrounding hills, rock walls and wadi edges are a natural home for scorpions and snakes. Properties that border open ground, storage yards or loose stone are the most exposed, so an annual contract tends to suit companies better than a single spray that wears off quickly.
The inspection is planned as a series of steps. The technician first walks the perimeter, checking gaps under doors, cracks in walls, drains, and the edges of car parks and gardens where pests hide. Next comes the interior, including store rooms, kitchens, cable ducts and roof spaces. Where birds roost on ledges or signs, bird control is assessed, which is priced at SAR 30–80 per m. Rodent activity, termite signs and any stored materials that attract pests are noted, with rodent control at SAR 200–500 per visit and termite treatment at SAR 10–25 per m² where needed. The findings are then written up with a treatment plan and a recommended schedule.
Before the visit, prepare the areas to be inspected. Clear access to store rooms and the perimeter, keep bins closed, and note any past sightings with dates and locations. Tell the team which areas are in active use so treatment can be timed around work. A standard pest-control visit costs SAR 150–400 per visit, a follow-up visit SAR 100–250 per visit, and an annual pest-control contract SAR 500–1,500 per month, so your budget can be planned in advance.
For companies, an annual contract sets the scope, the visit schedule and the reports in writing.
