Flea and tick work in duplexes starts with the building itself, and in Alkharj the first thing we check is the local setting. The centre of Alkharj sits about 439 m above sea level according to SRTM open elevation data, so the surrounding ground, shaded courtyards, and areas where rainwater collects after a rare storm can all hold moisture that favours ticks and fleas in cooler corners. Our technicians look first at the shaded sides of the building, the gaps beneath entry steps, and any spot where pets rest in the same place every day, because these are the areas where infestations tend to start and persist.
Some decisions cannot be made from a desk. The exact treatment, how many rooms need work, whether the shared wall between the two units needs attention, and whether the pets' bedding, carpets, or outdoor runs must be treated are all left to the site visit. A single visit typically costs SAR 150–400, and where a second check is needed a follow-up visit is SAR 100–250. If the inspection also finds signs of rodents or termites, those services are priced separately, rodent control at SAR 200–500 per visit and termite treatment at SAR 10–25 per m². We will confirm which of these apply only after we have seen the property.
To help the technician, please tell us in advance how many animals live in each unit, their ages, and whether they go outside, as this shapes where we focus. Note any pest activity you have already seen, such as bites on people or pets, droppings, or dead insects near windows and doors. Share whether either side of the duplex is empty, since untreated empty rooms can keep a problem alive. If you already have a pest-control contract, for example one priced at SAR 500–1,500 per month, mention it so our visit does not duplicate work. Clear access to every room, the garden, and the parking area will let us finish the inspection in one visit.
In a duplex, the two floors often share lines, so tests are done floor by floor.

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.
