Flea and tick work in apartments in Madinah starts with a simple question: what is the place actually like? The centre of Madinah sits about 589 m above sea level, which gives the city a dry, warm environment for much of the year. Technicians therefore begin by looking at how the apartment stays dry and where moisture collects, since damp corners, balcony planters and shaded areas near windows tend to shelter fleas and ticks longer than the rest of the flat. Pets are the first thing to ask about, because fleas usually enter a home on a dog or cat, and the pet's sleeping areas, bedding and favourite resting spots are where a technician will look first.
Some parts of the job can only be judged on site. The exact number of rooms that need treatment, the state of carpets and soft furnishings, the access to shared corridors and stairwells, and whether neighbouring flats have the same problem are all decided during the visit. A visit to a single flat is also priced separately from the wider building, and a follow-up visit is commonly needed to catch the next stage of the flea life cycle. Costs for a visit typically fall in the range of SAR 150–400 per visit, with a follow-up visit at SAR 100–250, and the final quote depends on what the technician finds.
To help the technician work efficiently, have the following ready before the visit: a short list of pets in the home and any treatments they have had, a note of where the flat has been seen to have bites or insects, and access to the balcony, storeroom and any spaces where pets are kept. Tell the technician about any other pests, such as rodents, which are treated separately at SAR 200–500 per visit. Clear the floors where possible, and keep the windows closed on the day of treatment. Good preparation shortens the visit and helps the treatment reach the places where fleas and ticks are actually hiding.
In an apartment, a problem may start in your unit or in a shared line; we separate the two before any work.

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 flea & tick control for apartments?
We start with inspection (resting places of pets and carpets), then treatment (the home is treated while the vet treats the pet).
