Should I treat bed bugs in my Makkah flat before the summer heat and the rainy season arrive? Many property owners here ask this, and the answer depends on timing and on what the inspection finds. Makkah's centre sits about 301 m above sea level (SRTM open elevation data), and the seasonal shift in temperature and humidity can change how pests move through a building. Planning the treatment before those months begin gives you a clearer picture of the problem and avoids booking a rush visit when every household is calling at once. Pest-control visits in the city are usually priced at SAR 160–420 per visit, and a follow-up visit at SAR 105–265 per visit is normally needed to confirm the treatment has worked.
The inspection follows a set order. The technician first checks the bed frames, mattress seams, headboards, skirting, and cracks around sockets and window frames, looking for live insects, shed skins, and dark spots of droppings. Next, the technician notes which rooms show signs and how far the activity seems to reach into neighbouring spaces. Once the findings are recorded, the technician explains which areas need treatment and which items may need washing, heat exposure, or removal. The visit usually concludes with a short written summary of what was found and what the next steps are, so you know exactly what to expect before any product is applied.
Before the visit, clear the rooms that will be treated so the technician can reach beds, wardrobes, and wall edges without moving heavy furniture alone. Strip the bedding and wash it in hot water where the fabric allows, then store it in sealed bags until the inspection is done. Vacuum the mattress seams, bed base, and floor edges, and empty the vacuum bag into a sealed container before putting it outside. Keep a note of where you have seen bites, stains, or insects, and the dates you noticed them, because that record helps the technician focus the inspection. Finally, confirm that everyone in the household knows the appointment time and that the rooms will be accessible for the full visit.
Checks before summer and before the rain season catch problems while they are still small.

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.
