Start with the location, because it shapes what a technician looks at first. The centre of Al Rwda sits at 21.5659, 39.1573, roughly 3 km from the centre of Jeddah, within an approximate radius of 2.4 km. The area lies about 12 m above sea level and about 3.5 km from the sea coast. For duplex homes in this part of Jeddah, that means the building sits on fairly low, flat ground close to the coastal air, so humidity and warmth in shaded corners are worth noting from the first look. Before any treatment is planned, the technician checks the sleeping areas, bed frames, headboards, skirting boards, and the seams of the mattress, since these are the places where bed bugs hide during the day.

The site visit is where the real decisions are made, and it cannot be replaced by a description on a page. The technician needs to confirm how far the problem has spread between the two units of a duplex, because a shared wall, ceiling void, or common stairwell can carry insects from one home to the next. The visit also covers the condition of furniture, whether items should be moved, washed, or discarded, and whether any adjoining areas need inspection. Pricing and the scope of work depend on what is found on the day, so the quote is given after the inspection rather than before it. Where pest activity overlaps with rodents, termites, or birds, those issues are assessed separately during the same visit.

To help the technician arrive prepared, residents should note when bites were first noticed, which rooms have been affected, and whether anyone in the household has been treated for bites. Keep bedding in sealed bags until the visit, and avoid moving items between rooms, because this can spread insects. Clear space around the beds and wardrobes so the inspection can reach edges and joints. If the duplex has been treated before, bring any earlier records. Clear information of this kind allows the visit to focus on the right rooms and makes the next steps easier to agree on.

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