Why do mosquitoes and flies seem worse in Jeddah just before summer and during the rainy months? Part of the answer is geography. The centre of Jeddah sits about 15 m above sea level, yet the city is only about 2 km from the sea coast, so the humid air and shallow standing water that many insects favour are never far away. For a property owner, that closeness to the coast means fly and mosquito pressure can rise quickly once temperatures climb or rain leaves puddles in courtyards, drains and rooftop containers.
A sensible visit starts with an inspection rather than a spray. The technician walks the property and looks for the places pests actually use: stagnant water in drains, plant saucers, water tanks and unused containers, damp corners, waste areas and openings where flies can enter. The same walk-through is used to check for rodents and for signs of termites or birds nesting on ledges, so the owner gets a full picture of the site. Once the problem areas are identified, the technician explains what needs to be cleared or sealed and what treatment is proposed, so you know what you are paying for before any work begins.
Preparing before the visit makes the inspection more useful. Clear access to drains, balconies, rooftops, storage rooms and outdoor bins, and remove or empty any containers holding water. Note where you have seen insects, droppings or nesting, and when problems began, because that history helps the technician target the right areas. If you have a pest-control arrangement already, have the previous visit records ready. Keeping children and pets away from treated areas during the visit is also wise, and you should ask the technician how long to keep them out.
Checks before summer and before the rain season catch problems while they are still small.
Signs that call for mosquito & fly control
The following signs are worth checking before they grow:

- Uncovered waste.
Tools and methods, and when we use them
| Method | What it helps with | Its role in Jeddah |
|---|---|---|
| Inspection and diagnosis | The pest, its hiding places and entry points | Limits: needs access to the kitchen, cupboards and entries |
| Spot spraying of cracks and entries | Entry points and cracks | Limits: does not replace removing attractants |
From the first visit to the report
- Removing standing water: Breeding sites are removed first.
- Drain treatment: Drains and traps are treated.
- Spraying: Only where needed after the sources are dealt with.

Common questions about mosquito & fly 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.

Practical notes for residents of Jeddah
- Prices are in Saudi riyals (SAR); the final price is confirmed after the inspection, before any work starts.
- 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).
- 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.
- Keep photos of the problem and of any earlier repairs — they help the technician compare before and after.
