Al Mrslat is centred at 21.4055, 39.8800, about 2.9 km from the centre of Makkah, with an approximate radius of 1.2 km. Because the district sits at a height of about 321 m above sea level, the technician's first check for apartments here is the building's layout relative to the surrounding streets and any nearby food outlets or waste collection points, since these shape how cockroaches move between units. Our crews begin by looking at kitchens, bathrooms, drains and the spaces behind appliances, and they note where water collects. A cockroach problem in an apartment rarely stays in one unit, so checking shared drains and ducts early gives the whole building a better chance of being treated in one visit rather than several.

Some things cannot be judged from the doorway and are left to the site visit. The technician will decide the treatment method only after seeing how the flat is used, which cupboards are damp, whether there is a rubbish chute, and whether neighbouring units have reported the same signs. The site visit is also where the technician agrees the scope with the resident, including whether any follow-up is needed. Our rates for service visits fall within SAR 160–420 per visit, and a follow-up visit is charged at SAR 105–265 per visit, so the cost is confirmed on site once the size of the problem is clear. Where a building has been affected by other pests, the crew may also quote for rodent control at SAR 210–525 per visit or bird control at SAR 30–85 per m.

To help the technician, residents should have a short list ready before the visit. Note when the cockroaches were first seen, whether they appear mostly at night, and which rooms are affected. Clear the space under the kitchen sink and around the fridge if you can, and tell the technician about any leaks, since moisture draws these insects in. Mention whether other flats on the same floor have reported problems, and whether the building has a shared waste area. Giving this information in advance lets the technician arrive with the right equipment and spend the visit on treatment rather than on questions.

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