Picture a family who owns a modest flat in Al Mhmdya, a residential district on the eastern edge of Makkah. They have noticed cockroaches in the kitchen and bathroom, and they want to know what treatment should cost before they call anyone. Their first question is usually simple: how much is a single visit, and is a follow-up needed? This page answers that question with the published ranges we have, so you can budget sensibly and avoid being surprised by quotes that look far too high or too low.

Al Mhmdya sits roughly 8.2 km from the centre of Makkah, with its own centre at about 21.3646, 39.7836 and an approximate radius of 1.2 km. The area lies around 245 m above sea level. For a homeowner, these local facts mean the district is close enough to the city centre that technicians can reach you without long delays, yet it is far enough from the core that you should check how quickly a service team is able to attend. Because the neighbourhood is built on a modest elevation, storm drains and water sources around buildings should be inspected, since damp areas attract insects. Ask any provider to include a short inspection of drains and waste points as part of the first visit.

Start by identifying where the insects are: kitchen, bathroom, storage, or outside near bins. Second, note how long the problem has existed, because a fresh sighting usually needs one standard pest-control visit at SAR 160–420, while a larger infestation may need a follow-up at SAR 105–265 per visit. Third, if you see droppings or gnawing, add rodent control at SAR 210–525 per visit, since the same pathways often carry both pests. Fourth, if the building shows signs of termites, ask for a surveyed treatment priced at SAR 10–25 per m², and compare that against bird control at SAR 30–85 per m² if birds are nesting on the roof or ledges. Finally, if problems recur, an annual pest-control contract at SAR 525–1,575 per month may spread costs more evenly, so request written terms before you sign.

Prices shown on this page come from our own published price list for the city; the final price is set after inspection.
