The centre of Al Mshaar Al Mqdsa is at 21.3909, 39.9389, about 8.4 km from the centre of Makkah, with an approximate radius of 1.2 km. The service-area circle on the map below is drawn from this point. The centre of Al Mshaar Al Mqdsa sits about 350 m above sea level (SRTM open elevation data).

An owner of a residential building who notices cockroaches in the kitchen or bathroom often assumes the problem is limited to one flat. In practice, cockroaches move through shared pipes, waste shafts and gaps around fittings, so one unit's infestation quickly becomes the whole building's concern. Owners and managers of apartment blocks usually need a plan that covers common areas and every occupied flat at the same time, rather than reacting to complaints one by one.

Al Mshaar Al Mqdsa is a location of about 1.2 km in radius, centred at 21.3909, 39.9389, roughly 8.4 km from the centre of Makkah. Its centre sits about 350 m above sea level. For a building owner, these facts mean the district is compact and the properties within it share a similar setting, so a single treatment route can often serve several buildings efficiently. Pest pressure is a local matter, so the scheduling of visits should consider neighbouring properties, which can reinfest a block that has been treated alone.

A practical sequence starts with an inspection of the whole building, including kitchens, bathrooms, service ducts, bin rooms and the basement. Next, identify entry points such as cracks, pipe openings and door gaps, and ask residents to clear food and water sources. Then arrange a pest-control visit to treat the affected areas, noting that a visit typically costs SAR 160–420. Where rodents are also seen, add a rodent control visit at SAR 210–525 per visit. Schedule a follow-up visit at SAR 105–265 to confirm results and treat any survivors. Finally, consider an annual pest-control contract at SAR 525–1,575 per month so that inspections continue and new problems are caught early.

For a whole building, a survey of the shared systems comes before unit-by-unit work.
