Before we start: what we know about Makkah
The centre of Makkah sits about 301 m above sea level (SRTM open elevation data). 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..
Bed bugs are the most common problem in rest houses and farm accommodation in Makkah, mainly because these buildings have many guests who arrive and leave in quick succession, carrying luggage, bedding and furniture from one place to the next. Infestations often start in mattress seams, bed frames, sofas and cracks in the walls near sleeping areas, and they can spread to neighbouring rooms before anyone notices bites or small dark spots on linen. Early signs are easy to miss in larger properties, so a proper inspection of every room, not only the obvious ones, is the first step.
The local setting changes how the work is planned. The centre of Makkah sits about 301 m above sea level (SRTM open elevation data), and many rest houses and farms here use heavy fabrics, stored bedding and seasonal furniture that can hide pests between uses. Treatment therefore usually covers stored items, storage rooms and outdoor sleeping areas on farms, not just the bedrooms. Because guests return often, the work is timed around check-in and check-out so rooms are treated and left clear before the next booking. Outdoor areas around farms may also need separate attention, and the team can quote for related issues such as bird control at SAR 30–85 per m if pigeons or other birds are roosting near guest rooms, rodent control at SAR 210–525 per visit where droppings or gnawing are found, or termite treatment at SAR 10–25 per m² where timber structures are affected.
Before booking a visit, ask the provider to explain exactly what the inspection covers, which rooms and outdoor areas will be checked, and what preparation you need to do, such as clearing beds and wardrobes. Ask for the full price of the initial visit, which is SAR 160–420 per visit for a standard pest-control visit, and whether a follow-up visit is needed, which is SAR 105–265 per visit. If you run a property with regular turnover, ask about an annual pest-control contract at SAR 525–1,575 per month. Confirm how long rooms need to stay empty after treatment and who to contact if bites appear between visits.
Rest houses and farms often have long buried lines, tanks and irrigation that need separate tests.

Common questions about bed bug treatment in 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.
