Al Jmyza sits at 21.4372, 39.8336, roughly 5.9 km from the centre of Makkah, and its centre lies about 333 m above sea level, according to SRTM open elevation data. Those facts shape where a cockroach inspection in a duplex should begin. Before the technician opens a single cupboard, it helps to note that this is a residential neighbourhood with an approximate radius of 0.9 km, so many duplexes share walls, drains and utility routes with the units next door. An infestation that looks confined to one kitchen may in fact be moving along those shared spaces, so the first checks cover the ground-floor and upstairs units alike, along with any common drainage points.

Some points cannot be settled from a description and are left to the site visit. The technician will walk the property to see how kitchens, bathrooms and laundry areas are laid out, where pipes enter the building, which gaps around doors and windows are open, and how waste is stored. Cost can only be discussed once the work is measured. Bird control is priced at SAR 30–85 per m, rodent control at SAR 210–525 per visit, and termite treatment at SAR 10–25 per m², with a pest-control visit at SAR 160–420 per visit, a follow-up visit at SAR 105–265 per visit, and an annual pest-control contract at SAR 525–1,575 per month. Which of these applies depends entirely on what the inspection finds, so the quote is written only after that.

To help the technician, residents should note when the problem was first noticed, which rooms are affected, whether droppings or egg cases have been found, and whether any neighbouring units have reported similar activity. Clearing cupboards under sinks and moving stored food into sealed containers before the visit saves time. Keeping access open to the roof, balconies and any shared corridor also lets the technician check the full duplex rather than a single unit. Clear information at this stage means a more accurate assessment and a plan that suits the building.

In a duplex, the two floors often share lines, so tests are done floor by floor.
