Will pigeons and other birds on a clinic roof really be a problem for patients and staff? For many property owners in Madinah, the answer starts with the building itself. The centre of Madinah sits about 589 m above sea level (SRTM open elevation data), and that setting, like any open urban site, can draw birds to ledges, air vents and rooftop plant areas. Bird control is priced at SAR 30–80 per m, so the cost depends on how much of the building needs protecting, and an annual pest-control contract at SAR 500–1,500 per month can suit clinics that want regular attention rather than one-off fixes.
The visit begins with an inspection of the whole structure, not only the spots where droppings are visible. The technician looks at roof edges, parapets, window sills, air-conditioning units, drainage points and any gaps where birds could nest or roost. Each area is noted so the owner can see where the problem is and which measures are needed. Where a pest-control visit is needed alongside bird work, it is charged at SAR 150–400 per visit. If rodents or termites are also found, rodent control is SAR 200–500 per visit and termite treatment is SAR 10–25 per m², and these are quoted separately so the clinic knows exactly what each part costs. A follow-up visit at SAR 100–250 per visit is then used to check that the measures are still holding.
Before the technician arrives, the clinic should prepare a few simple things. Clear access to the roof, plant rooms and any ledges that will be inspected, and let staff know the work is coming so that patients are not surprised. Gather any notes on where birds have been seen and when, and note any recent problems with droppings or smells. If the building has a maintenance plan or drawings showing roof layout and vents, have them ready. Keeping these details to hand means the inspection can focus on the right places and the quote can reflect the real size of the job.
For clinics, work is scheduled around patient hours and kept to the areas that need it.

Common questions about bird control in 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 clinics?
We start with survey (where the birds land and roost), then physical solution (spikes, nets or barriers).
