Cockroach control for duplexes in Al Mrslat, Makkah starts with the location itself. The centre of Al Mrslat is at 21.4055, 39.8800, about 2.9 km from the centre of Makkah, with an approximate radius of 1.2 km, so most duplexes here sit close enough to the city's dense residential core that neighbouring buildings and shared drainage can carry insects from one property to the next. The centre of Al Mrslat also sits about 321 m above sea level (SRTM open elevation data), which matters for how water moves across the area after rain and where it tends to collect in low courtyards and shared service lines. Before any treatment is planned, the technician will first look at kitchen drains, sink traps, the area beneath sinks, and the spaces around water heaters and washing machines, because these are the spots where cockroaches gather most in warm, humid conditions.

Several things can only be judged during the site visit. The technician will need to see the actual condition of the duplex, including cracks around pipes, gaps under doors, the state of the shared wall or ceiling void between the two units, and whether the upper and lower halves are being treated together. The amount of infestation, the age of the building, storage habits, and whether food waste is kept inside or in an outdoor bin are all judged on the spot. Any signs that suggest other pests, such as rodent droppings or termite damage to timber, are also noted at this stage, since they change the scope of the work and the pricing, which is set after inspection rather than before.

To help the technician arrive prepared, residents should share a few details in advance: how many bedrooms and bathrooms the duplex has, whether the building is shared with a neighbour who has also reported problems, when the problem was first noticed, and what treatments were tried before. It also helps to clear cupboards under sinks, move stored items away from walls, and make sure the technician can reach the roof access, utility room and any outdoor waste area. Pricing for each service type is confirmed after the visit, using the rates that apply to the work found on site.

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