Before we start: what we know about Aljumum
The centre of Aljumum sits about 200 m above sea level (SRTM open elevation data). Team note on Aljumum: Kashf teams serve this city and its nearby districts with the same documented inspection standard: device-based leak detection without demolition, a written report, and a clear scope before any work begins..
Aljumum sits in the western hills near Makkah, and the centre of the area lies about 200 m above sea level according to SRTM open elevation data. That height matters for bird control. Higher ground with open rooftops, exposed parapets and gaps under eaves gives pigeons and mynahs clear sight lines and easy landing spots, so emergency work here usually starts with a full survey of roof edges and ledges before any fixing is planned.
Because of the terrain, the rate for bird control is set per metre of exposed edge, in the range of SAR 30 to 80 per m. Long runs of parapet, sloped roofs and balconies with wide railings all add to the length that must be covered, which is why the quote follows the measured length rather than a flat fee. Owners in the area who give the installer accurate roof drawings or photographs tend to get a clearer estimate on the first visit. Where a building sits on a slope, access for ladders and lifts can also affect the time needed on site.
Owners in Aljumum often make the same few mistakes, and the service avoids them where possible. Many wait until nesting material and droppings have built up, which makes cleaning and fixing slower and more costly. Others block a single gap and ignore the rest of the roofline, so birds simply move along the building. Some also choose a one-off clean without arranging a follow-up visit, which usually costs SAR 100 to 250 per visit, and then find the problem returns. Where the same site needs repeat attention, a monthly plan at SAR 500 to 1,500 per month is often easier to manage, and the team can also handle rodent control at SAR 200 to 500 per visit or general pest visits at SAR 150 to 400 per visit when those issues appear alongside the birds.
If water is flowing, close the main valve first, then call or message with photos.
