Do you need pre-construction treatment before the walls go up in a new apartment block in Madinah? The short answer is that the work is usually cheaper and more effective when termites, rodents and birds are dealt with before the building is finished. The centre of Madinah sits about 589 m above sea level (SRTM open elevation data), and that is the setting in which these pests are planned for, so the treatment should be scheduled around the build rather than added after handover. Termite treatment is typically priced at SAR 10–25 per m², bird control at SAR 30–80 per m, and rodent control at SAR 200–500 per visit, so a site survey helps you see which items your project actually needs.
The inspection follows a clear order. The technician first walks the site and checks the foundations, service ducts, and any timber or stored materials for signs of termite activity, droppings, nests and entry points. Next, the bird and rodent risks are mapped, including ledges, roof edges and gaps around pipes. The findings are then matched to a treatment plan with a price range for each part of the work. Where ongoing protection is wanted, an annual pest-control contract at SAR 500–1,500 per month can be discussed, and a pest-control visit at SAR 150–400 per visit covers routine checks. A follow-up visit at SAR 100–250 per visit is normally needed to confirm that the first treatment has held.
Before the visit, gather the site plan showing the number of floors and the total floor area, so that the square-metre and linear-metre measurements can be made quickly. List the materials already delivered to the site and note where they are stored, as stacked timber and packaging attract pests. Mark any areas that have already shown droppings, holes or nests, and tell the technician about any previous pest problems in neighbouring units. Clear access to the basement, roof and service shafts will save time. With these details ready, the technician can give you a realistic set of options and costs for your apartments in Madinah.
In an apartment, a problem may start in your unit or in a shared line; we separate the two before any work.

Short answers for 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 pre-construction treatment for apartments?
We start with site inspection (soil and moisture conditions), then treatment (applied at the right construction stage).
