Pre-construction treatment for apartments in Allith
In short: In Allith (Allith), pre-construction treatment for apartments begins with the inspection and diagnosis and the soil treatment and wall injection; nothing is opened until the position is clear. Allith is about 1.2 km from the sea coast (OpenStreetMap). Pricing starts from Termite treatment (SAR 10–25 per m²), and other items are quoted after the visit.
Why pre-construction treatment differs in Allith

The centre of Allith sits about 5 m above sea level, and it is about 1.2 km from the sea coast. Both facts shape how we plan pre-construction treatment here. Land this close to the shore and this low can hold moisture in the ground, so we check soil conditions and drainage before any termite barrier is applied. The short distance to the coast also means that birds and rodents are more active in the area, which is why we assess bird and rodent entry points on every apartment block before work begins.
Because the sea is close, owners should expect the pest pressure to be steady rather than seasonal. Termite treatment is priced at SAR 10–25 per m², and the final figure depends on the footprint of the building and the soil profile around it. Bird control is priced at SAR 30–80 per m, so the length of ledges, parapets and rooflines is measured carefully. Rodent control is charged at SAR 200–500 per visit, and a standard pest-control visit at SAR 150–400 per visit. An annual pest-control contract runs at SAR 500–1,500 per month, and a follow-up visit at SAR 100–250 per visit. Each of these line items reflects the practical work needed to keep a coastal, low-lying site protected during and after construction.
Owners who plan well avoid several common mistakes. They do not treat the ground before the foundations are poured, and they do not leave bird access open on the roof while the building is still being fitted out. They also avoid skipping the follow-up visit, which is what confirms the first treatment has held. Finally, they do not assume a single visit is enough for a site so close to the coast. A planned schedule, with the annual contract in place from handover, keeps the apartments protected from the start.
In an apartment, a problem may start in your unit or in a shared line; we separate the two before any work.
