Are ant problems in a school in Alkharj really worth calling a specialist for, or can staff simply sweep and spray? Ants in school buildings tend to follow food crumbs, drink spills and damp corners, and they can return quickly after a surface clean. In Alkharj, the centre of the city sits about 439 m above sea level (SRTM open elevation data), and our technicians treat that as one of the local conditions to note when they plan a visit. A pest-control visit for a school is priced at SAR 150–400 per visit, and a follow-up visit is SAR 100–250 per visit, so the cost of a planned programme can be compared directly with the cost of repeated cleaning and disruption to lessons.
When a technician arrives, the inspection begins with a walk through the classrooms, corridors, kitchen or canteen area, store rooms and outdoor drains. The technician looks for ant trails, nest entry points and the food or water sources that attract them, and records where activity is heaviest. Where other pests are seen at the same time, the report notes them separately, because rodent control is quoted at SAR 200–500 per visit and bird control at SAR 30–80 per m, and these are handled as distinct jobs. Termite treatment is priced at SAR 10–25 per m² and is only assessed when signs of wood damage are found. After the inspection, the technician explains which treatment is proposed, where it will be applied and how many follow-up visits are usually needed.
To make the visit efficient, the school should prepare a few things in advance. Ask the site coordinator to list the areas where ants have been seen and when they appeared, and to clear food stores, bins and cupboards so the technician can reach the nest routes easily. Make sure the staff know which rooms must be cleared of children and equipment during any treatment, and confirm that the kitchen or canteen can be accessed on the agreed day. Keep a short record of recent cleaning and any repairs to leaks or cracks, since these details help the technician find the source. A school that prepares in this way usually gets a clearer assessment and a treatment plan that fits its daily timetable.
For schools, the larger jobs are planned for weekends and holidays.

Short answers for Alkharj
Does an underground tank require waterproofing even if it is new?
Yes, concrete is naturally porous, which can lead to leaks or groundwater seepage. Applying epoxy or cementitious insulation from the start maintains water quality and protects the structure from corrosion.
Do you need to evacuate the building during renovation work?
It depends on the type and scope of the work. Surface work such as plastering and painting usually does not require evacuation, while partial or full evacuation may be advised in cases of structural reinforcement, and the contractor determines this after inspection.
