Rodent control in Madinah: the local context
The centre of Madinah sits about 589 m above sea level (SRTM open elevation data). 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..
Madinah's older residential districts are home to many duplex buildings, and the facts that apply here are that bed bug treatment is priced per room, bird netting and spikes are priced per meter, and a recurring contract for the whole facility is priced per month. Because duplexes share walls, roofs and drainage lines with neighboring units, a rodent problem rarely stays inside one apartment, so the team will look at the building's shared access points before treating a single room. Rodents usually enter through gaps around pipes, under doors and along the roof edge, so inspection starts at the entry points and the food and water sources that draw them in.
For a duplex, the first check is the ground floor and the stairwell, since rodents often travel through shared service shafts. Technicians will look for droppings, gnaw marks and grease trails, then seal openings before setting any baits, because baiting alone leaves the entry route open. Where the same building also shows bird activity on ledges, netting or spikes may be quoted separately by the meter, so the team will measure the affected edges during the same visit.
Before the visit, clear the kitchen and utility area of open food, mark where you have seen droppings or noises, and note which neighboring units share your walls or drains. Ask the team whether the work is a one-time treatment or part of a monthly recurring contract, what is included in each option, and how they will check the result after the first visit. Ask also whether any sealing or drainage work is needed, and if so, how that will be quoted before work starts.
In a duplex, the two floors often share lines, so tests are done floor by floor.

Common questions about rodent control in 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 rodent control for duplexes?
We start with inspection (entry points and runways are found), then sealing (gaps are closed before anything else).
