Al Jwdrya Al Jdyd sits at 21.3278, 39.8531, about 6.8 km from the centre of Makkah, with an approximate radius of 1.2 km, so most apartment blocks here are a short drive from the city's older districts but still in a settled residential setting. The district's centre is about 254 m above sea level, and the nearest wadi channel runs roughly 1.4 km from that centre. Because of this proximity to a wadi, a technician usually checks first for signs of insects moving in from low, damp ground, such as drain openings, ground-floor entry points and areas near waste bins, before looking at the upper floors. This order matters because cockroaches tend to follow water and warmth, so the first inspection focuses on kitchens, bathrooms and the spaces under sinks where moisture gathers.

The visit itself settles the details that no map can show. The technician will confirm the species, how far the infestation has spread between units, whether the building's shared drains or refuse area are contributing, and whether the problem reaches common corridors or stairwells. The choice of treatment, the number of visits and the exact scope are decided on site after these checks. Pricing can also only be confirmed once the technician has measured the affected area. Where a building also has bird or rodent activity, the technician will note which pest problem is most urgent, since rodents or birds nesting near roofs or vents can draw cockroaches and need separate handling.

To help the technician arrive prepared, tell us the flat number and floor, when you first noticed insects, and where you have seen them most often. Note any recent leaks, damp patches or blocked drains, and let us know whether neighbours on the same floor have reported similar problems. Clear the area under kitchen and bathroom sinks before the visit, and keep access to the building's refuse store and any shared utility room available. If your building has had bird, rodent or termite problems before, mention this too, since it shapes which pest-control visit is recommended.

In an apartment, a problem may start in your unit or in a shared line; we separate the two before any work.
