Why do pigeons and starlings keep coming back to my building in Alkharj, and what can I do before the summer heat and rainy season arrive? Alkharj sits at the heart of the region, with the city centre about 439 m above sea level, and that open, low-lying setting suits many birds that nest on ledges, rooftops and parapets. Once they settle, droppings build up, nests block drains and vents, and the mess becomes a health and maintenance problem. Bird control here is usually priced at SAR 30–80 per m, which depends on the length of the area that needs protection, so the first step is to understand how much of your property is exposed.
A typical inspection follows a clear sequence. The technician walks the building perimeter and checks roof edges, balconies, air-conditioning units, signboards and gaps under eaves to find where birds roost and nest. They note which spots are active and which are only fouled, then recommend a suitable barrier, such as spikes, netting or wire, measured by the metre. Where rodents or insects are also present, the inspector may flag rodent control at SAR 200–500 per visit, or termite treatment at SAR 10–25 per m² if timber or structures show signs of damage. For properties that need ongoing protection, an annual pest-control contract at SAR 500–1,500 per month can cover regular checks, and a follow-up visit at SAR 100–250 per visit can confirm that the barriers are holding.
To make the visit productive, prepare a few things in advance. Walk around your property and note the areas where you see droppings, nests or noise, and take photos if you can. Clear balconies, terraces and roof access so the technician can reach the problem spots safely. Tell the inspector about any previous treatments and whether you have tenants or neighbours who share the space. Finally, set a clear budget range, since a standard pest-control visit typically costs SAR 150–400 per visit, and bird control is priced by length. Booking before the summer and rain season gives you time to fix problems before nests multiply.
Checks before summer and before the rain season catch problems while they are still small.

Common questions about bird control in 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.
What is the first step of bird control (before summer & rain season)?
We start with survey (where the birds land and roost), then physical solution (spikes, nets or barriers).
