Before we start: what we know about Jeddah

Jeddah's city centre sits about 15 m above sea level, and the city lies about 2 km from the sea coast. Both facts shape how pests behave here. Low, flat ground close to the water keeps humidity and warmth high for much of the year, which suits the insects and rodents that move between buildings, drains and open lots. Our technicians therefore start each job by checking the lowest points of a property first, such as ground-floor storerooms, drainage gullies and the edges of courtyards, before working upward.
The city's character also affects scheduling and cost. A pest-control visit in this area is priced at SAR 160–420 per visit, and a follow-up visit at SAR 105–265 per visit, so the first inspection usually decides how many return trips are needed. Rodent control is quoted at SAR 210–525 per visit, and bird control at SAR 30–85 per m, a range that depends on how much roof edge, ledge and ventilation space needs proofing. Because many buildings here have large exposed surfaces, we measure the area before quoting, so the figure you receive reflects the real work involved rather than a flat guess.
For ongoing protection, an annual pest-control contract runs at SAR 525–1,575 per month, and termite treatment is charged at SAR 10–25 per m². Owners who have had problems before often choose a contract so that inspections happen on a fixed schedule rather than only after a sighting. Several common mistakes are worth avoiding: waiting until a scorpion or snake has been seen indoors before calling anyone, storing rubbish or building materials against outer walls, leaving gaps under doors and around pipes, and assuming one treatment lasts forever. Each of these errors gives pests a route in or a place to shelter, which is why we review them with every client.
Prices shown on this page come from our own published price list for the city; the final price is set after inspection.

Questions from 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.
