An owner of a small apartment block or a family villa in Al Slam often notices cockroaches first in the kitchen and bathrooms, then along drains and behind appliances. Many owners wait until the problem spreads to neighbouring flats before calling anyone, which makes each treatment harder and more costly. A clear picture of likely prices helps owners decide when to act and which service fits their situation.
Al Slam lies about 13.1 km from the centre of Makkah, with its own centre at 21.4633, 39.9558 and an approximate radius of 1.2 km. The area sits roughly 388 m above sea level. For owners, this means a compact residential zone that is still a practical distance from the city centre, so scheduling visits and getting technicians on site is usually manageable. Because the district is small, pests moving between nearby buildings are common, so treating only one unit rarely ends the problem. Owners should treat the whole building, including shared drains and bin areas, and discuss this with the provider before work starts.
Start by inspecting the property yourself and noting where droppings, egg cases or signs of activity appear, and whether the same problem exists in nearby flats. Next, request a pest-control visit, which is listed at SAR 160–420 per visit, and ask for the treatment plan in writing. If the issue is persistent, budget for a follow-up visit at SAR 105–265 per visit to confirm results. For ongoing protection, compare an annual pest-control contract at SAR 525–1,575 per month against occasional visits. Finally, check related risks at the same time: rodent control is SAR 210–525 per visit, and bird control runs SAR 30–85 per m. Keep records of every visit and invoice so you can compare prices across providers.
Prices shown on this page come from our own published price list for the city; the final price is set after inspection.
