Bird control work in Madinah begins with the place itself. The centre of Madinah sits about 589 m above sea level, so a survey starts by reading the building's height, roof form and exposed ledges against the surrounding terrain rather than assuming a flat-site pattern. For companies on an annual contract, the first checks cover roof edges, parapets, ventilation openings, signage and any gaps where pigeons or sparrows can settle, nest or roost. These are the points where birds cause the most mess, damage and health concern, so they are inspected before anything is quoted or fitted.
Several items are deliberately left to the site visit. The technician confirms the actual lengths that need protection, since bird control is priced at SAR 30–80 per m, and the final figure depends on the measured run of ledges, netting or spikes. Access routes, working heights, the condition of existing fixtures and whether nests must be cleared under a particular timetable are also judged on the spot. A company's annual schedule is set in the same way: the standard pest-control contract runs at SAR 500–1,500 per month, with the exact tier set after the survey, and any follow-up visit at SAR 100–250 per visit is agreed only once the initial condition is known.
To help the technician prepare, it is useful to have the building's floor plans or a rough sketch, the roof access arrangements, and a note of where birds have been seen most often and at what times. Record any previous treatments and whether rodent or termite issues have also been reported, because rodent control at SAR 200–500 per visit and termite treatment at SAR 10–25 per m² are separate services that can be scheduled alongside bird control. A general pest-control visit is SAR 150–400 per visit. Sharing this information in advance lets the visit focus on the measurements and checks that really decide the job.
For companies, an annual contract sets the scope, the visit schedule and the reports in writing.

Questions from Madinah
What is the difference between standard spraying and integrated pest management?
Standard spraying treats visible symptoms only, while integrated pest management includes diagnosis, sealing entry points, and multiple methods for longer-lasting results.
Could the leak be caused by weak waterproofing rather than the pipes?
Yes, damage to the waterproofing layer beneath the bathroom floor is one of the most common causes of leaks, especially in older buildings. In this case, water seeps through the tile joints into the screed and then down to the ceiling below. A specialized inspection can distinguish this from a pipe leak.
What is the difference between drain unblocking and drain cleaning?
Unblocking removes an existing blockage that prevents drainage, while cleaning is a preventive procedure that removes deposits and grease from pipes before they cause a blockage.
What is the first step of bird control (for companies (annual contract))?
We start with survey (where the birds land and roost), then physical solution (spikes, nets or barriers).

Planning the visit in Madinah
- 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.
