Cockroaches are the most common pest problem in apartments and older family homes across Al Slama, and they tend to spread quickly between units through shared drains, kitchens and bathroom pipework. A single visit often clears the visible insects, but the real work is breaking the cycle in the hidden spaces where they breed and hide. For this reason, a proper treatment starts with a full inspection of kitchens, sinks, cupboards and drain points rather than a quick spray in the open.
Al Slama sits at about 21.4576, 39.7797, roughly 11.1 km from the centre of Makkah, within an area of about 1.2 km in radius, and it lies around 293 m above sea level. Because the neighbourhood is a compact residential area with many buildings close together, infestations can move between flats and courtyards easily, so treatment is planned for neighbouring units as well as the affected home. The warm, dry conditions of the city also favour continuous activity, which is why a follow-up visit is usually built into the plan. A pest-control visit in this area is priced at SAR 160–420 per visit, and a follow-up visit at SAR 105–265 per visit, so residents can plan the full cycle in advance.
Before booking, ask the provider to confirm the exact address and whether they will inspect neighbouring units or shared drains. Ask what products will be used indoors, whether the home needs to be emptied of food or cleaned beforehand, and how long people should stay out of treated rooms. Request a written quote that lists the visit fee and any follow-up visits, and ask whether a monthly or annual contract would suit your building. Finally, check how the provider handles repeat sightings between visits, so you know exactly what support is included.
Each job ends with a written report that carries a verification code you can check on our site.
