Termite control in Aljumum: for companies (annual contract)

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..

Picture the operations manager of a mid-sized company in Aljumum, responsible for an office block, a warehouse and a staff accommodation building. Termites rarely announce themselves. A door frame feels hollow, a skirting board crumbles when touched, or a small pile of fine mud appears near a wall. By the time staff notice, the colony may have been feeding in the structure for some time. For a business, the question is not only how to deal with the problem but how to keep it managed across the whole year without disrupting operations.

The local setting matters here. The centre of Aljumum sits about 200 m above sea level, so the site is not at the coastal level that many people associate with Saudi cities, and this shapes how the property is built and used. Buildings on higher ground can have different drainage and ventilation patterns than low-lying plots, and those differences affect where moisture collects and where pests find shelter. An annual contract suits a company because it turns an occasional scramble into a planned schedule. Costs are predictable: an annual pest-control contract typically runs SAR 500–1,500 per month, and a termite treatment is priced at SAR 10–25 per m², so the manager can budget against the floor area of each building.

A practical approach starts with a full survey of every structure on the site, including timber, cabinetry, cable routes and the ground around foundations. Next, agree on a written schedule covering a main treatment and regular inspections, with follow-up visits costing SAR 100–250 per visit when extra checks are needed. Keep a shared log of any damage or droppings, and report new signs immediately so the contractor can act early. Where other pests are present, bundle the work: pest-control visits cost SAR 150–400 per visit, rodent control SAR 200–500 per visit, and bird control SAR 30–80 per m. Finally, review the contract once a year, compare the logged visits against the budget, and adjust the scope for any new building work or changes in how the premises are used.

For companies, an annual contract sets the scope, the visit schedule and the reports in writing.

When do you need termite control?

The following signs are worth checking before they grow:

• Mud tubes on the walls
• Wood that sounds hollow when tapped
• Fallen wings near windows

Causes we see in the field

• Wood in contact with soil.
• Constant damp near the foundation — we check this before anything else.
• A common cause: a continuous water leak.
