Bed bug treatment in Makkah: the local context
Team note on Makkah: Kashf teams serve this city and its nearby districts with the same documented inspection standard: device-based leak detection without demolition, a written report, and a clear scope before any work begins.. The centre of Makkah sits about 301 m above sea level (SRTM open elevation data).
In hotels and serviced apartments across Makkah, the most common pest problem is bed bugs, which spread quickly between rooms through luggage, linen and shared furniture. Guests often notice bites or small dark spots on mattresses before management is aware of an infestation, so early reporting matters. A treatment plan for this type of property should focus on the room, the bed frame, the headboard and the connecting walls, and it should include a follow-up visit to confirm that no live insects remain.
Local conditions shape the approach. The centre of Makkah sits about 301 m above sea level (SRTM open elevation data), so the city's heat and dry air differ from coastal areas where many guests may have travelled from. Dense occupancy, frequent check-outs and high turnover in serviced apartments mean rooms may be vacated and reoccupied within hours, which leaves little time for treatment to settle. For this reason, the work is usually scheduled between stays and coordinated with housekeeping, so that rooms are cleared, linen is bagged for hot laundering and furniture is moved as needed.
Before booking a visit, ask the provider to explain exactly what will be inspected and treated, and whether the quote covers the room only or the adjoining rooms as well. Confirm how the pest-control visit is priced, since a standard visit is SAR 160–420 per visit, and whether a follow-up visit at SAR 105–265 per visit is included or charged separately. Ask how long the rooms should stay vacant, what preparation staff must complete, and what written report you will receive afterwards. If your property also has rodents, birds or termites, ask for those services to be quoted separately so the costs and visits stay clearly defined.
For hotels and serviced apartments, rooms are handled in batches to keep units available.

Short answers for Makkah
What does finishing work typically include?
It covers plastering, painting, flooring, stone or marble walls, ceilings, gypsum, doors, windows, and final electrical and plumbing installations. You can request full or partial finishing, with the scope clearly defined in the price quote.
Is it possible to renovate the building without evacuating the residents?
In many cases it can be carried out in phases without a full evacuation if the damage is limited. However, for extensive structural renovation, a temporary evacuation may be recommended to ensure safety, and the contractor will explain this in their proposal.
Does waterproofing require removing existing tiles?
It depends on the site condition. Sometimes surface waterproofing can be applied over tiles, while deep leaks require tile removal to treat the layer underneath. A technician will determine the best option after inspection.
