Team note on Alzulfi: Kashf teams serve this city and its nearby districts with the same documented inspection standard: device-based leak detection without demolition, a written report, and a clear scope before any work begins..

Rodent control in Alzulfi starts with a simple check of where the town sits. The centre of Alzulfi lies about 615 m above sea level, which means the surrounding land is higher and cooler than the coastal plains, and many homes sit on slopes or terraces where water runs off quickly after rain. Before summer and the rain season, we check first for gaps around doors, drain openings, air-conditioner pipes and roof edges, because rodents look for shelter and water in exactly these places. Our technician also looks at stored food, rubbish areas and garden waste, since these are the most common reasons rats and mice stay close to a home once the weather changes.

Some things can only be judged on site, and we leave them to the visit. The technician will walk the property to see how water drains after a storm, which walls are damp, whether bait stations can be placed safely near children or pets, and how far the nearest neighbouring property is from the boundary. The size and layout of the building, the type of construction and any signs of activity such as droppings, gnawed wiring or burrows are all recorded on the spot. A quotation for rodent control is then given after the visit, typically SAR 200–500 per visit, and the technician explains which follow-up visit, from SAR 100–250, is needed to confirm the problem is gone.

To help the technician prepare, tell us in advance when you first noticed signs, which rooms are affected and whether there is a bird or termite problem too, since bird control is priced at SAR 30–80 per m and termite treatment at SAR 10–25 per m², and both can be planned in the same visit. Clear access to the roof, the garden, the store room and the bins saves time, and keeping food sealed until the visit makes the inspection more accurate. If you have had pest control before, share the date and what was used. For homes that prefer ongoing protection, an annual pest-control contract at SAR 500–1,500 per month can be discussed after the first inspection.

Checks before summer and before the rain season catch problems while they are still small.
