Cockroaches are the most common problem in residential buildings in Al Ghza Al Jdyd, where shared kitchens, drains and bins make it easy for them to move between flats. In a multi-storey block, treating one apartment rarely solves the problem, because insects travel through pipe shafts and gaps in walls. A useful service therefore looks at the whole building: common corridors, waste areas, drainage points and the flats on either side of a treated unit.

The local facts shape how we approach each job. The centre of Al Ghza Al Jdyd sits at 21.3541, 39.7440, about 12.4 km from the centre of Makkah, with an approximate radius of 1.2 km, so most buildings in the area share similar warm, humid conditions in the lower floors. The centre sits about 299 m above sea level, which means the surrounding terrain is fairly flat and open, and buildings are exposed to birds and rodents as well as insects. Because of this, cockroach visits are often combined with checks for bird and rodent access. Bird control is priced at SAR 30–85 per m, rodent control at SAR 210–525 per visit, and a standard pest-control visit at SAR 160–420 per visit. Where a building has an ongoing problem, an annual pest-control contract at SAR 525–1,575 per month and a follow-up visit at SAR 105–265 per visit allow regular monitoring rather than one-off treatment.

Before booking a visit, ask the provider to confirm the scope of the inspection: whether it covers common areas and bins as well as individual flats, and whether a follow-up visit is included. Ask for the full price per visit in writing, and check which costs apply if termite treatment is also needed, which is charged at SAR 10–25 per m². Ask what preparation you need to do, such as clearing kitchen cupboards, and how the treatment is applied in homes with children or pets. A clear answer to these questions will show whether the provider understands residential buildings in this area.

For a residential building, shared risers, tanks and pumps are checked as one system.
