Can a duplex in Aljumum be treated for bed bugs without the whole building being disrupted? For most property owners here, that is the first concern, and the answer depends on how quickly the problem is found and how carefully the treatment is planned. Aljumum sits about 200 m above sea level, and the centre of the district is where many duplexes are grouped together, which means neighbouring units often share walls, ducts and common areas. A pest-control visit in a duplex usually costs SAR 150–400 per visit, and a follow-up visit is commonly SAR 100–250 per visit, so owners should budget for more than one visit from the start.
The inspection begins with a walk through both sides of the duplex, since bed bugs move easily between adjoining units. The technician checks the bedframes, mattress seams, skirting boards, wardrobes and the gaps around sockets and furniture, looking for live insects, shed skins and dark spotting on fabric. Where a problem is confirmed, the treatment plan is explained before any product is applied, including which rooms will be treated first and how long occupants should stay away from them. Where a rodent or other pest is also found, it is recorded separately, because rodent control is priced at SAR 200–500 per visit and is handled as its own job.
Before the visit, owners and tenants can help the process by clearing beds and wardrobes so the technician can reach seams and corners, and by washing bedding and curtains on a hot cycle where possible. Any items that cannot be washed should be sealed in bags until the inspection is complete. Please make sure the technician can access the adjoining unit if it shares a wall with the one being treated, and let your neighbour know the appointment in advance. Keep a note of where bites or sightings have occurred, as this helps the technician focus the inspection and reduces the number of return visits needed.
In a duplex, the two floors often share lines, so tests are done floor by floor.
