Imagine a homeowner in Madinah who wakes to find droppings on the balcony, nesting material in the eaves, and a flock circling the roof at dawn. The noise, the mess and the health worry arrive together, and the question is simple: what do I do now? This page is for that moment, when a bird problem has become urgent and needs a clear plan rather than guesswork.
The centre of Madinah sits about 589 m above sea level, so the city is a dry, open basin rather than a coastal or highland site, and buildings here face strong sun and wide skies that suit many species of birds looking for ledges and roof spaces. Pigeons and other nesting birds tend to return to the same sheltered spots each season, which is why a problem that seems sudden often has been building for weeks. Because the cost of control is usually charged per metre of area treated, with bird control quoted at SAR 30–80 per m, the size and access of the affected roof or façade will shape the final figure more than anything else. Knowing the length of the problem zone before you call will help you compare quotes fairly.
Start with safety. Keep children and pets away from droppings and feathers, avoid sweeping dry debris into the air, and wear a mask and gloves if you must clean a small area. Photograph the nesting sites, note where the birds enter and roost, and check whether any nests contain eggs or chicks, as this affects the timing of removal. Next, call a licensed pest-control provider and ask for an on-site inspection; a single visit typically costs SAR 150–400. Ask them to measure the affected length so the bird control can be priced per metre. If rodents or insects are also present, ask about rodent control at SAR 200–500 per visit or termite treatment at SAR 10–25 per m² so the whole site is assessed at once. For ongoing protection, an annual pest-control contract at SAR 500–1,500 per month, plus a follow-up visit at SAR 100–250, keeps birds from returning once the emergency is over.
If water is flowing, close the main valve first, then call or message with photos.

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 (emergency)?
We start with survey (where the birds land and roost), then physical solution (spikes, nets or barriers).
