Before we start: what we know about Jeddah
Team note on Jeddah: 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.. Jeddah is about 2 km from the sea coast (OpenStreetMap).
The centre of Jeddah sits about 15 m above sea level (SRTM open elevation data).
A hotel or serviced apartment owner in Jeddah often notices birds first. A rooftop ledge becomes a roosting spot, guests complain about droppings on balconies and pool areas, and the reception team starts getting questions about what is being done. For an owner whose reputation depends on clean entrances and quiet rooms, the problem is not only hygiene but also the impression it leaves on arriving visitors.
The local setting shapes how this problem should be handled. The centre of Jeddah sits about 15 m above sea level, and the city is about 2 km from the sea coast. Buildings in this position are regularly visited by gulls and other coastal birds moving between the shoreline and inland areas, so a property does not need to be right beside the water to attract them. Rooftops, parapets, air-conditioning units and open terraces are the places most likely to collect roosting birds, and they deserve attention before the problem grows.
A sensible approach starts with a site walk. Note every ledge, gap, vent and flat roof surface where birds sit or nest, and record which areas face guest use. Next, decide which measures suit each spot, such as spikes, netting or wires, and get a written quote for the length to be covered. Bird control is usually priced per metre, in a range of SAR 30–85 per m, so measuring accurately helps you compare offers fairly. Ask whether the price includes removal of existing nests and cleaning of droppings, because that affects the total cost. Once the work is installed, schedule a follow-up visit, which typically costs SAR 105–265 per visit, to check that birds have not found new gaps. Many owners also add a yearly plan, which runs SAR 525–1,575 per month, to keep the property covered throughout the year.
For hotels and serviced apartments, rooms are handled in batches to keep units available.

Common questions about bird control in Jeddah
Can I use household chemicals instead of calling a technician?
Using unsuitable chemicals may corrode pipes and does not fix the root cause of the blockage, so it is better to rely on a specialist technician.
What is the difference between foam insulation and other types of insulation?
Foam insulation is easy to apply on uneven surfaces and forms one continuous layer with no joints, while other types, such as bitumen rolls, need the joints to be welded. The contractor decides which is most suitable after inspecting the site.
Can thermal insulation be applied to an existing building?
Yes, thermal insulation can be installed on the roofs and walls of existing buildings without the need for major structural modifications. The contractor prepares the surface, then applies the insulating material and the protective layer over it.
