A typical owner in Al Ghza Al Jdyd is a family living in an apartment or small villa who wakes one night to find cockroaches in the kitchen or bathroom and wants them gone before the next meal. Panic is common in this situation, but a calm, organised response usually brings the problem under control much faster than hasty spraying does.

The local facts shape what to expect. Al Ghza Al Jdyd is centred at 21.3541, 39.7440, roughly 12.4 km from the centre of Makkah, with an approximate radius of 1.2 km, so it sits on the outer edge of the city rather than in its dense core. The centre of the district is about 299 m above sea level. Pest-control visits here are priced at SAR 160–420 per visit, and a follow-up visit at SAR 105–265 per visit, so most households should plan for at least one return trip. If the infestation reaches beyond the kitchen, rodent control is priced at SAR 210–525 per visit, and an annual pest-control contract at SAR 525–1,575 per month may suit properties that have recurring problems.

Start by clearing food and water sources: store dry goods in sealed containers, wipe counters, empty bins nightly, and fix any dripping taps. Next, note where you see cockroaches, especially near drains, under sinks and behind appliances, since this shows the likely hiding places. Do not spray household products over wide areas, as this can scatter the insects and contaminate food surfaces. Then book a professional visit, describe the locations you noted, and ask for the follow-up visit to be scheduled in advance. Keep the area dry and clean between visits, and report any new sightings promptly so the treatment can be adjusted.

If water is flowing, close the main valve first, then call or message with photos.
