Should a school in Madinah be treated for pests before construction begins? Many owners ask this, and the answer depends on what the site needs. The centre of Madinah sits about 589 m above sea level (SRTM open elevation data), and our work for schools here is planned around local conditions and the building's layout. Pre-construction treatment is a practical step to reduce pest pressure before classrooms, corridors and kitchens are occupied by children and staff.
The inspection usually begins with a walk of the site and the surrounding area to look for signs of rodents, birds and insects, including nesting points, droppings, damp soil and gaps around ducts and foundations. Termite risk is assessed next, since treatment is priced by area at SAR 10–25 per m² for termite work. Where birds are a concern, for example on rooftops, canopies and open walkways, bird control is quoted at SAR 30–80 per m. Rodent control is estimated per visit at SAR 200–500. The technician then records findings and proposes a treatment plan, with each step listed separately so the school can review the scope before any work starts.
To prepare, the school should clear storerooms, remove food waste from the construction area, and note any past pest problems or repairs. Keep a copy of the building plan and mark areas that will be used for food storage or play. Arrange access to roofs, service shafts and locked rooms in advance, and agree on times that avoid teaching hours. Expect a follow-up visit at SAR 100–250 per visit to check results, and consider an annual pest-control contract at SAR 500–1,500 per month if ongoing protection is needed. A standard pest-control visit is SAR 150–400 per visit. Clear planning at this stage makes the rest of the project easier to manage.
For schools, the larger jobs are planned for weekends and holidays.

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