Could a school in Alkharj really keep pigeons and starlings off its roofs, walkways and playground shade structures? Yes, and the first step is understanding the site. The centre of Alkharj sits about 439 m above sea level (SRTM open elevation data), so the surrounding open ground and rooftops can be exposed to wind and dust that draw birds to sheltered ledges. Bird control work for schools is usually priced at SAR 30–80 per m, which lets a property owner estimate the cost of covering the length of a ledge, parapet or canopy before any work starts.
The inspection normally begins with a walk of the whole campus. The technician notes where droppings, nesting material and roosting birds are concentrated, measures the length of each affected edge, and checks the condition of existing netting, spikes or wire. Rodent activity is checked at the same time, since rodent control is charged at SAR 200–500 per visit and is often needed alongside bird work. Where pests are found in the building fabric, a termite inspection may be recommended, with treatment priced at SAR 10–25 per m². The technician then writes up the affected areas, the proposed method for each, and an estimate based on the measured lengths.
Before the visit, the school should prepare a plan of the buildings and roof areas, with any known problem spots marked. Staff should clear access to the roof, rooftop plant and walkways, and confirm which areas are used by children so that work can be scheduled outside teaching hours. Keep records of previous pest-control visits and any repairs to roofing or netting. If the school wants ongoing protection, an annual pest-control contract is offered at SAR 500–1,500 per month, and follow-up visits are charged at SAR 100–250 each. A standard pest-control visit costs SAR 150–400, so asking for a written breakdown of each line item will make comparing quotes straightforward.
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.
