Should I treat a building in Madinah before the summer heat and the rainy season arrive? Many property owners ask this, and the answer depends on where the property sits and what pests are likely to be active. The centre of Madinah sits about 589 m above sea level, according to SRTM open elevation data, which gives the city a dry, elevated setting in which pest activity can still shift sharply with the seasons. Treating before the hot months and before the rain tends to be more practical than waiting for a problem to surface inside the walls or roof.
Our inspection starts with a walk-through of the building, both inside and outside. The technician checks for signs of termites, rodents and birds, including droppings, gnaw marks, nesting material and entry gaps around pipes, vents and roof edges. Where needed, the inspection is followed by a quote for the work. For reference, the price ranges on this site are termite treatment at SAR 10–25 per m², bird control at SAR 30–80 per m², and rodent control at SAR 200–500 per visit. A standard pest-control visit is SAR 150–400 per visit, and a follow-up visit is SAR 100–250 per visit, so the scope of any treatment can be confirmed before work begins.
Before the visit, it helps to clear access to the areas that will be inspected, including the roof, storage spaces, the area beneath sinks and the outside perimeter. Note any sightings you have made, such as droppings, sounds in the ceiling or damage to wooden fixtures, and share the dates they began. If the building is occupied, let us know which rooms need to be free of furniture and food items on the day. A clear plan made before the summer heat or the rain season gives the technician the information needed to set the right treatment and timing for your property.
Checks before summer and before the rain season catch problems while they are still small.

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 (before summer & rain season)?
We start with site inspection (soil and moisture conditions), then treatment (applied at the right construction stage).
