Before we start: what we know about Khobar
Team note on Khobar: 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.. Khobar is about 1.8 km from the sea coast (OpenStreetMap).
The centre of Khobar sits about 9 m above sea level (SRTM open elevation data).
Ant control in Khobar starts with the ground itself. The centre of Khobar sits about 9 m above sea level, according to SRTM open elevation data, and the city is about 1.8 km from the sea coast, based on OpenStreetMap. Both facts matter for ants, because low-lying, moisture-retaining ground near the coast can shape where colonies establish and how quickly they move indoors. So the first check here is simply where the property sits relative to the coast and the surrounding ground, since that tells the technician where moisture may gather and where ant pressure is likely to be stronger.
The site visit covers what no map can show. The technician will walk the property to find the actual nest locations, trails, entry points around doors, windows, pipes and cable routes, and any drainage or damp patches that may be feeding the colony. Only on site can the species be identified, the size of the infestation judged, and the right treatment chosen. Where a visit reveals issues beyond ants, such as rodent activity or signs of termites, the technician will note them separately, because those services are priced and handled differently.
To help the technician, have a clear picture ready before the visit. Note where you have seen ants, at what times, and whether they appear on kitchen surfaces, in bathrooms, or along the outside walls. Mention any recent plumbing work, leaks, pet food left out, or recent landscaping near the foundation, as these often attract ants. Keep access open to kitchen cupboards, under sinks, utility areas and outdoor bins. A written record of past treatments, with dates, will also help the technician avoid repeating a method that did not work and plan any follow-up visit properly.
Each job ends with a written report that carries a verification code you can check on our site.

Short answers for Khobar
Can the roof be insulated over the existing insulation layer?
This depends on the condition of the old layer. If it is intact and stable, a new layer may be applied. If it is damaged, it must be removed. A technician will determine this after inspection.
What is the best type of roof waterproofing for Khobar's climate?
The choice depends on the surface and its use. Bituminous rolls and liquid polyurethane coatings are common for exposed roofs to resist heat and humidity, while cementitious materials suit tanks and bathrooms. The contractor determines the best type after inspection.
