How much does cockroach control cost for a property in Al Sfa, Makkah, and what do published offers look like? Al Sfa is a district about 12.5 km from the centre of Makkah, with its centre at 21.4265, 39.9714 and an approximate radius of 1.2 km. The centre sits roughly 371 m above sea level, and the nearest wadi channel runs about 0.5 km from the centre. For cockroach visits, a pest-control visit is typically priced at SAR 160–420 per visit, and a follow-up visit at SAR 105–265 per visit. Owners who want ongoing protection can look at an annual pest-control contract, which is listed at SAR 525–1,575 per month. Other pest services on the same price list, such as rodent control at SAR 210–525 per visit, are separate from cockroach work and are billed on their own terms.

A typical inspection in Al Sfa starts with a walk-through of the kitchen, bathrooms, storage areas and any spaces near drains or waste points, since these are where cockroaches tend to gather. The technician looks for droppings, egg cases, smear marks and the signs of activity along pipes and under fittings. Because the district is close to a wadi channel, the inspector also checks the outer perimeter, gaps around doors and windows, and entry points from outside. Once the source areas are identified, the technician explains what treatment is recommended, which may be a single visit or a series of visits, and notes where the property owner can reduce food and water access between visits.

Before the visit, it helps to clear cupboards under sinks and in kitchen corners so the technician can reach hidden areas, and to bag or seal food and waste. Note where you have seen cockroaches, when activity is most noticeable and whether the problem is in one unit or spread through the building. Let the technician know about any recent drain work, renovation or water leaks, as these can attract pests. Keep access open for the technician on the agreed day, and be ready to discuss whether you want a one-off visit or a monthly contract with follow-ups included.
