Rodent control for duplexes in Alzulfi starts with a simple question: where do the signs point? Alzulfi's centre sits about 615 m above sea level (SRTM open elevation data), which places it in a cooler, higher-ground setting than the lowland coast. Our technicians check the shared areas first, because a duplex often gives rodents a route from one unit to the next through roof voids, ducts, and gaps around utility pipes. Before any bait is placed, the technician looks for droppings, gnaw marks, grease trails along walls, and entry points at floor level and under the eaves. A rodent visit usually costs SAR 200–500 per visit, and the first inspection is where the scope of that visit is decided.

Some decisions are left to the site visit itself. The technician cannot know in advance how many entry points there are, whether the problem is confined to one unit or spread across both, or whether food storage, rubbish areas, or garden waste are drawing animals in. Bird activity on the roof may also need attention, and bird control is priced at SAR 30–80 per m, so the technician will measure the affected area on the spot before quoting. Termite signs, if found in timber near the same entry points, are assessed separately at SAR 10–25 per m². A follow-up visit at SAR 100–250 per visit is often needed to confirm that the activity has stopped, and whether that is required depends on what the first inspection finds.

To help the technician work efficiently, residents should note when they first noticed signs, which rooms or floors are affected, and whether the neighbouring unit reports the same problem. Keep access to the roof, ceiling hatches, and any locked storerooms open for the visit, and clear cupboards under sinks where possible. Tell us if you have a standing pest-control arrangement, since an annual contract at SAR 500–1,500 per month or a single pest-control visit at SAR 150–400 per visit may change how the work is scheduled. The more complete the information you give, the faster the technician can move from inspection to a clear, itemised plan for both sides of the duplex.

In a duplex, the two floors often share lines, so tests are done floor by floor.

Signs worth paying attention to

These are the signs most often linked to rodent control:

• Gnawed bags and cables
• Noises in the ceiling at night
• Droppings near the kitchen

Where the problem usually comes from

• A common cause: gaps around pipes and doors.
• Uncovered food waste.
• An open drain — we check this before anything else.

Tools and methods, and when we use them

How the work is done, step by step

1. Inspection: Entry points and runways are found.
2. Sealing: Gaps are closed before anything else.
3. Traps and stations: Closed stations placed away from children and pets.
4. Follow-up: Stations are checked and new gaps closed.
