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).
Picture a homeowner in a villa or apartment block who notices a scorpion under a cupboard one morning and starts wondering how many more are hiding in the walls, garden stones and storage areas. Most people in this situation want a clear plan rather than a quick spray, because venomous wildlife tends to return to the same sheltered spots unless the conditions that attract them are changed. Expats renting a flat often face the same question, and they need steps that do not depend on the building owner acting first.
The local setting shapes what to expect. The centre of Jeddah sits about 15 m above sea level, and the city is about 2 km from the sea coast, so the ground is low, dry and close to the coastal environment. For a homeowner, this means that the area around the property, including gardens, drains, rubble and stored materials, deserves as much attention as the interior. Pests that find shelter outside can move inside through gaps around doors, windows and service pipes, so sealing and clearing work often matters more than any single treatment.
Start by walking the property at night with a torch to locate activity, then clear debris, timber piles and loose stones from the perimeter. Seal cracks, gaps under doors and openings around pipes and cables. Next, get pricing for a professional visit: a pest-control visit costs SAR 160–420 per visit, a follow-up visit SAR 105–265 per visit, and an annual pest-control contract SAR 525–1,575 per month. If rodents or termites are also a concern, rodent control is SAR 210–525 per visit and termite treatment is SAR 10–25 per m², while bird control runs SAR 30–85 per m. Finally, schedule follow-up visits and keep a simple log of sightings so the treatment plan can be checked over time.
Each job ends with a written report that carries a verification code you can check on our site.

Common questions about scorpion & snake prevention 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.
