Picture a family who owns a mid-rise apartment building in Khobar. Pigeons have settled on the balconies and along the parapet, droppings are staining the walls, and the residents have started complaining about noise at dawn. The owner wants the problem gone without damaging the building or breaking local rules, and needs to understand what a sensible plan looks like before calling anyone in.
The local setting shapes that plan. The centre of Khobar sits about 9 m above sea level, and the city is about 1.8 km from the coast, so the area is low, flat and close to the water. Birds that feed along the shoreline and in open ground have easy access to rooftops and ledges here, and the building's exposed edges, air-conditioning units and gaps under fixtures tend to become roosting spots. For an owner, this means bird control is less about a single removal visit and more about making the building's surfaces unattractive over time, since new birds will keep arriving from nearby areas.
A practical sequence starts with a site walk. Note every roosting point, nesting spot, droppings area and entry gap, and photograph them so the work can be measured against the original condition. Next, seal the openings and fit deterrents such as spikes, netting or wire on ledges, balconies and parapets, priced by the metre; a bird-control quote for these works is typically SAR 30–80 per m. Clean existing droppings carefully, because accumulated waste can carry health risks and should be handled with protective equipment. If rodents or insects are also present, arrange their treatment separately, since rodent control is usually SAR 200–500 per visit and a general pest-control visit runs SAR 150–400 per visit. Finally, schedule follow-up checks, budgeting SAR 100–250 per visit, and consider an annual pest-control contract at SAR 500–1,500 per month to keep the building monitored once the first round of work is complete.
For a whole building, a survey of the shared systems comes before unit-by-unit work.

Common questions about bird control in 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.
What is the best type of roof waterproofing in Al-Khobar?
It depends on the roof condition and usage. Bitumen rolls and liquid polyurethane are common, while foam with a protective layer suits those wanting both thermal and water insulation.

Planning the visit in Khobar
- 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.
