Before we start: what we know about Al Adl

The centre of Al Adl is at 21.4475, 39.8751, about 6.7 km from the centre of Makkah, with an approximate radius of 2.8 km. The approximate area shown on the map is centred here. Main roads in or near Al Adl: King Faisal Road, Fourth Ring Road, King Fahd Road.

The centre of Al Adl sits about 427 m above sea level (SRTM open elevation data).

Cockroaches are the most common problem for restaurants, because kitchens, storerooms and drains give them warmth, moisture and food residue all year round. In Al Adl, the first step is a proper inspection of the kitchen, the grease traps and the waste area, since these are usually where an infestation starts and where a single visit will not be enough to clear it. A restaurant owner should expect the treatment to be planned around the kitchen's daily routine so that food preparation is not disrupted more than necessary.

The local setting also shapes the approach. The centre of Al Adl is at 21.4475, 39.8751, about 6.7 km from the centre of Makkah, with an approximate radius of 2.8 km, so many restaurants here serve dense commercial streets with frequent deliveries and heavy foot traffic. The centre of Al Adl sits about 427 m above sea level (SRTM open elevation data), which means the area is not coastal, but the dry, warm conditions still favour pests that hide in cracks, behind equipment and inside drains. Technicians working in this area should therefore focus on sealing entry points and reducing harbourage rather than relying only on sprays. Where birds or rodents are also a concern, separate bird control at SAR 30–85 per m or rodent control at SAR 210–525 per visit may be needed alongside cockroach treatment.

Before booking the visit, ask the provider to explain exactly what the inspection covers and how the quote is built. Confirm whether the pest-control visit at SAR 160–420 per visit includes a follow-up, and what a follow-up visit costs at SAR 105–265 per visit. If you want ongoing protection, ask about an annual pest-control contract at SAR 525–1,575 per month. Ask which products will be used in food areas, how they will be applied safely, and how long the kitchen should stay closed or covered. A clear answer to these questions will tell you whether the plan suits a busy restaurant in Al Adl.

For restaurants, visits are planned outside service hours and recorded for the premises file.
