Al Atybya sits at 21.4513, 39.8160, about 8.2 km from the centre of Makkah, and its centre lies roughly 357 m above sea level. On a rest house or farm here, the first things a technician looks at are the building's position and the way the land falls away from it, because these shape where cockroaches are likely to move in from. With an approximate radius of 1.6 km covering the district, a property at its edge can be exposed to different surroundings than one nearer the middle, so the access routes, drainage lines, and any nearby waste or stored feed are noted before anything inside is touched.

The rest of the checklist is left to the site visit itself. The technician confirms which rooms, kitchens, storerooms and outdoor areas actually show activity, how far the infestation has spread, and whether cracks, pipe entries or gaps under doors need sealing. Visit fees are set per visit, typically SAR 160–420, and a follow-up visit typically runs SAR 105–265, so the number of visits needed is usually agreed once the extent of the problem is clear. Where rodents or birds are also present, a rodent control visit (SAR 210–525 per visit) or bird control (SAR 30–85 per m) may be added to the same plan.

To help the technician arrive prepared, residents and farm managers can note when cockroach sightings are most frequent, which areas are damp or warm, and whether food, feed or waste is stored close to the building. Clearing cupboards and keeping pets' bowls and animal feed in sealed containers makes the inspection faster. Keep records of any treatments already used, since these affect the choice of product. If termites are also suspected, the treatment is priced per square metre at SAR 10–25 per m², and the technician can measure the affected area during the visit. A monthly annual pest-control contract, from SAR 525–1,575 per month, can suit properties that need regular cover.

Rest houses and farms often have long buried lines, tanks and irrigation that need separate tests.
