Al Akyshya sits at about 21.3564, 39.8004, roughly 7 km from the centre of Makkah, with an approximate radius of 1.2 km, and its centre lies about 225 m above sea level. For a cockroach visit, the first things a technician checks are the location and the access route, because a neighbourhood this close to the city centre and at this elevation can have a mix of older buildings and newer blocks, and each kind of building hides insects in different places. Knowing the area tells the technician what to expect before arriving, including how the building is likely to be laid out and where water and food sources are most likely to be found.

What is left to the site visit is the part that cannot be judged from a map. The technician checks the kitchen, drains, waste areas, under sinks, behind appliances, and any gaps around pipes and cabinets. They look at how far the infestation has spread, whether there are signs of other pests such as rodents, and whether the building has any structural damage that needs attention. Prices shown on the site are ranges, so the final quote depends on what the visit finds. A standard pest-control visit is priced at SAR 160–420 per visit, and a follow-up visit is SAR 105–265 per visit, so the technician will confirm which applies once the scope is clear. If a wider problem is found, the site visit is where it is identified and explained.

To help the technician, it is useful to have ready a few details: the building type and number of floors, when the problem was first noticed, which rooms are affected, and whether any recent work such as renovation or plumbing repairs has taken place. Clear access to kitchens, storerooms and utility spaces saves time. If there is also a rodent problem, a bird problem, or termites, mention it at the start, since rodent control is SAR 210–525 per visit, bird control is SAR 30–85 per m, and termite treatment is SAR 10–25 per m², and each needs its own assessment. Residents who want ongoing protection can ask about an annual pest-control contract, priced at SAR 525–1,575 per month.
