Should you call a technician about bed bugs in Aljumum? If you are a property owner here and you have found small reddish-brown insects in mattress seams, or itchy bite marks on tenants, the answer is yes, and the sooner the better. Aljumum sits about 200 m above sea level, so it is a settled area with many older apartment buildings, where pests can move between units through shared walls and pipe shafts. A single report from one tenant is often the first sign of a wider problem, and waiting usually lets the population grow.
A technician's first step is a full inspection rather than a quick spray. The visit normally starts with the bed, sofa and any furniture where the insects hide, checking seams, joints, headboards and the gaps behind skirting boards. The technician then checks neighbouring rooms and common routes such as wardrobes and electrical sockets to judge how far the infestation has spread. Once the pattern is clear, the technician can recommend a treatment plan and explain how many follow-up visits are needed. A standard pest-control visit costs SAR 150–400 per visit, and a follow-up visit costs SAR 100–250 per visit, so it helps to ask for a clear quote before work starts.
Before the visit, prepare the property so the technician can work properly. Remove bedding and clothing from the affected rooms and wash them in hot water if possible, then store them in sealed bags. Clear the floor and move furniture away from walls so the technician can reach cracks and skirting boards. Do not throw away infested furniture on your own, because this can spread the insects to other flats. Keep a note of when the sightings began and which rooms are affected, and let your technician know if you have had other pests, since rodent control is priced at SAR 200–500 per visit and is handled separately.
Some signs can be watched for a few days; others need a technician straight away — the signs list above helps you decide.
