Alkharj sits about 439 m above sea level, a fact that shapes how we plan flea and tick work for companies on an annual contract. At this height, the town experiences a dry, hot climate for much of the year, with stretches of heat that keep indoor spaces warm and busy. Offices, warehouses, and food outlets here often run cooling systems through long hours, and that steady warmth can allow fleas and ticks to stay active in carpets, loading bays, and landscaped gardens. For the company, this means the contract must cover the whole year rather than a single season.
Because the centre of town is built up, with many businesses sharing walls, courtyards, and service corridors, a treatment in one unit can be undone by pests moving in from a neighbour. We therefore plan visits across the full property and the surrounding outdoor areas, including bins, rubbish zones, and shaded planting strips. Annual pest-control contracts in Alkharj typically run at SAR 500–1,500 per month, depending on the size and use of the site. Bird control, which is priced at SAR 30–80 per m, is often added where nesting on ledges and roofs brings parasites closer to the building. Rodent control at SAR 200–500 per visit is also commonly bundled, since rodents can carry fleas into storerooms.
Owners who avoid the most costly problems share a few habits. They do not wait for an infestation to appear before booking a visit; they keep a scheduled programme so that each pest-control visit at SAR 150–400 per visit catches early signs. They do not skip the follow-up visit at SAR 100–250 per visit, because flea eggs and pupae often hatch after the first treatment. They also do not ignore termite and other structural concerns, which are priced at SAR 10–25 per m² and can be planned alongside the flea and tick programme. Finally, they keep clear records of each visit so the contract can be reviewed honestly at renewal.
For companies, an annual contract sets the scope, the visit schedule and the reports in writing.

Questions from 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 flea & tick control (for companies (annual contract))?
