Jeddah's city centre sits about 15 m above sea level, and the city lies about 2 km from the coast. Both facts shape how bird control is planned. Because the centre is low and close to the water, many buildings sit in the path of gulls and other coastal birds that move between the sea and inland roofs, so nesting and roosting can start on rooftops, parapets and ledges within a short flight. Service visits are therefore scoped by roof and facade length rather than by a single fixed visit, and the first step is usually a survey of where birds land, perch and nest.
The practical effect of the coastal setting is that the approach needs to be durable as well as quick. Pricing for bird control is set per metre, in a range of SAR 30–85 per m, and the actual figure depends on the length of ledge, the type of surface and how exposed the site is to sea wind and salt. A seaside-facing building with long open parapets will typically need more linear metres of deterrent than a sheltered courtyard. Owners who ask for a written breakdown can see exactly which sections are being covered and why.
Owners in this area commonly make a few avoidable mistakes. Many wait until droppings and nesting material build up before calling anyone, which makes the job longer and more costly. Others treat a one-off visit as the end of the problem, when birds return to the same ledges each season. A further common error is choosing a service on price alone without checking what the quoted metres include. Published options such as an annual pest-control contract at SAR 525–1,575 per month, or a follow-up visit at SAR 105–265 per visit, make it easier to plan for recurring checks rather than reacting to a new infestation each time.
Prices shown on this page come from our own published price list for the city; the final price is set after inspection.

Short answers for 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.
What is the first step of bird control (cost & published offers)?
We start with survey (where the birds land and roost), then physical solution (spikes, nets or barriers).

From our published price list: Bird control SAR 30–85 per m. Quantities are confirmed at the inspection.
What do I get at the end?

Practical notes for residents of Jeddah
- Have access ready to the water meter, the tank hatches, the roof and the main valve; in apartment buildings the roof keys are often with the building guard (haris).
- Prices are in Saudi riyals (SAR); the final price is confirmed after the inspection, before any work starts.
- Keep photos of the problem and of any earlier repairs — they help the technician compare before and after.
- If you rent, tell your landlord or building management before the visit and agree in writing who pays; the written report can be shared with them.
