Cockroaches are the most common pest problem in duplexes in Al Adl, because shared walls, ceiling voids and linked drainage let insects move between the two units. A treatment in one half of a duplex often fails if the neighbouring unit is left untouched, so the first step is to plan the work for the whole building, not just the flat that called. Ask whether your neighbour will take part, since a coordinated visit gives far better results than two separate ones.

Al Adl sits at the centre coordinates 21.4475, 39.8751, about 6.7 km from the centre of Makkah, and its centre is roughly 427 m above sea level. Our approach here accounts for that location within the wider Makkah area, where residents often report insects coming in from nearby buildings and drains. The standard visit for cockroach work is SAR 160–420 per visit, and a follow-up visit costs SAR 105–265 per visit, so budget for at least one return trip to check results. If you also notice droppings or gnaw marks, rodent control is priced at SAR 210–525 per visit and should be discussed at the same time.

Before the visit, ask the provider to confirm the full scope: whether they will treat both units of the duplex, which areas they will inspect such as kitchens, bathrooms and voids behind appliances, and how many follow-up visits are included. Ask how the price is set, whether it is a single visit at SAR 160–420 or part of a monthly plan at SAR 525–1,575 per month. Find out what preparation you must do, such as clearing cupboards and covering food, and what safety steps apply to children and pets. A clear written scope before work begins protects both you and your neighbour.

In a duplex, the two floors often share lines, so tests are done floor by floor.
