Cockroach control in Al Qshashya Al Jdyd: the local context

The centre of Al Qshashya Al Jdyd is at 21.2290, 39.8669, about 17.8 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 Qshashya Al Jdyd sits about 301 m above sea level (SRTM open elevation data).

Cockroaches are the most common problem in apartments, because they move easily between units through shared pipes, drains and service ducts. A single unit treated on its own often sees the pests return from a neighbouring flat within weeks. For that reason, the work in an apartment block is planned around the whole building rather than one door at a time, with attention to kitchens, bathrooms, drain traps and the spaces behind appliances where cockroaches hide and breed.

Al Qshashya Al Jdyd sits at about 21.2290, 39.8669, roughly 17.8 km from the centre of Makkah, with an approximate radius of 1.2 km. The centre of the area is about 301 m above sea level. Because the neighbourhood is set some distance from the city centre, residents often find that pests arriving from outside, including rodents and birds, add to the cockroach problem. A visit here should therefore check entry points around the building as well as inside each flat, and the treatment plan should cover the common areas, not only the units that have complained.

Before the visit, ask the provider to explain how they will treat shared drains and neighbouring flats, and whether follow-up visits are included. Ask for the price of a pest-control visit, which typically falls between SAR 160 and SAR 420, and the cost of follow-up visits, which typically falls between SAR 105 and SAR 265 per visit. If rodents or birds are also a concern, ask for rodent control at SAR 210–525 per visit and bird control at SAR 30–85 per m. For ongoing protection, ask about an annual contract at SAR 525–1,575 per month. Clear answers to these questions will help you plan a sensible schedule for your building.
