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. Its centre lies about 301 m above sea level. For a cockroach service, this means crews plan routes around a compact, defined neighbourhood, so a single visit can cover several buildings on the same street and the scheduling of follow-up work stays predictable.

The distance from Makkah and the modest radius shape how we organise each job. Because the area is a short drive from the city centre, our technicians can arrive with a full range of treatments on hand rather than relying on a second trip for missing materials. The elevation, around 301 m, is a reminder that the local climate can shift between daytime heat and cooler evenings, and we time gel and spray applications to the conditions on the day so the product stays where it is placed. Where a building has pest activity beyond cockroaches, we also price the additional work separately, such as a pest-control visit at SAR 160–420 per visit, rodent control at SAR 210–525 per visit, or bird control at SAR 30–85 per m, so owners can see the cost of each service before work begins.

Owners in the area often make the same few mistakes, and our crews work to avoid them. The first is treating one flat without addressing shared drains, bins and service ducts, which lets insects move back within days. The second is waiting for a visible infestation before booking, when a scheduled annual pest-control contract at SAR 525–1,575 per month keeps numbers low. The third is skipping the follow-up visit, priced at SAR 105–265 per visit, which is the step that catches the insects that hatched after the first treatment. Finally, some owners ask for termite treatment at SAR 10–25 per m² without a proper inspection; we recommend confirming the problem first so the spending goes where it is needed.

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