Al Awaly is a district about 9.6 km from the centre of Madinah, with an approximate radius of 1.5 km, and its centre sits at 24.4558, 39.6271. The area is roughly 615 m above sea level, which matters because cockroach pressure in villa compounds often follows the way water, waste and warm pockets gather around the building rather than any single altitude effect. Before a technician opens a single cabinet, the first things checked here are the drainage points, the back-of-house kitchen zone, the laundry area and any sealed gaps around pipes that enter the villa from the outside. These are the routes cockroaches use most, and in a compound setting they often connect neighbouring villas, so a check that stops at the property line will miss the source.

Some points can only be settled on site and are left to the visit itself. The technician will walk the full perimeter, look at the age and condition of the wall and floor joints, check ceiling voids and the space behind appliances, and decide whether the infestation is confined to one unit or spread through shared walls. Pricing for work such as a visit, a follow-up, or a treatment is set after this inspection, because the size of the affected area and the access available decide the scope. Where birds or rodents are also present, the technician will note that separately, since bird control is quoted per metre (SAR 30–80 per m) and rodent control per visit (SAR 200–500 per visit), and those figures depend on what is actually found. Termite work, if signs appear, is priced per square metre (SAR 10–25 per m²) only after the affected area is measured.

To help the technician arrive prepared, residents should tell us about any recent leaks, waste or food storage habits, and whether neighbouring properties have reported pests. Clear access to kitchens, bathrooms, store rooms, roof hatches and outdoor drains saves time on the day. It also helps to note whether a monthly plan would suit the home, since an annual contract typically runs at SAR 500–1,500 per month, and a standard pest-control visit at SAR 150–400 per visit. Keeping records of earlier treatments lets the technician build on previous work, and any follow-up visit (SAR 100–250 per visit) can then be planned around what the first treatment has and has not resolved.

Villas often have several lines and tanks; we test them one at a time so the cause is clear.
