What is specific about Madinah for mosquito & fly control
Team note on Madinah: Kashf teams serve this city and its nearby districts with the same documented inspection standard: device-based leak detection without demolition, a written report, and a clear scope before any work begins..

Before any mosquito or fly treatment in Madinah, it helps to start with the setting. The centre of Madinah sits about 589 m above sea level (SRTM open elevation data), which means the city is a high inland location rather than a coastal one. Residents and buyers should note this when judging the local pest picture, because standing water, irrigation runoff and garden areas tend to matter more here than the damp coastal conditions that drive insect problems in other parts of the Kingdom. A quick look at where water collects around the property is the first thing to check.
What is left to the site visit is the detail that no description can settle: the actual water sources, the state of drains and cisterns, window screens, gaps around doors, and how the building is used day to day. A technician will also judge how far the infestation has spread and whether fly breeding is happening in bins, pet areas or food-prep zones. Pricing is best agreed after that inspection, since the scope drives the cost. For reference only, a single pest-control visit is listed at SAR 150–400 per visit, a follow-up visit at SAR 100–250 per visit, and an annual pest-control contract at SAR 500–1,500 per month. These ranges help you plan, but the final quote depends on what the inspection finds.
To help the technician, prepare a short note before the visit. Record when the problem started, which rooms or areas are affected, and whether you have used any treatment already. Mention any other pests you have seen, such as rodents or termites, because related services are priced separately, for example rodent control at SAR 200–500 per visit and termite treatment at SAR 10–25 per m². Point out pets, children, or any sensitivities to chemicals, and clear access to the areas that need checking. Keeping bins lidded and removing standing water beforehand will also let the technician see the real source of the problem.
Before buying or taking over a property, an inspection gives you findings in writing before you sign.

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 mosquito & fly control (before buying or handover)?
We start with removing standing water (breeding sites are removed first), then drain treatment (drains and traps are treated).
