Why bird control differs in Makkah
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..

Picture the owner of a busy restaurant near the heart of the city, where the kitchen runs from early morning until late and the outdoor seating fills up after evening prayers. Birds are drawn to exactly what a food business produces: open bins, spilled rice, and leftovers left near back doors. Droppings on awnings and seating, nests tucked into rooftop gaps, and noise over the dining area can quickly hurt a restaurant's reputation, even when the food itself is excellent. For this kind of owner, the problem is less about one bird and more about keeping a steady, manageable routine that protects the space.
The local facts shape how that routine should be planned. The centre of Makkah sits about 301 m above sea level (SRTM open elevation data), so the site is not a low-lying coastal location, but the surrounding built environment still offers ledges, rooflines and ventilation openings that birds can use. Bird control is priced at SAR 30–85 per m, which means the length of the affected surface, such as a row of awnings or a parapet, is the main driver of cost. An annual pest-control contract at SAR 525–1,575 per month can suit an owner who wants regular attention, while a follow-up visit at SAR 105–265 per visit covers checks between larger jobs. Owners should compare these figures against the actual length of the areas that need treatment.
A practical approach starts with a walk-round of the premises. First, measure the affected surfaces so the bird control quote is based on real metres rather than estimates. Second, remove the food sources: keep bins closed, clean outdoor areas at the end of each service, and store rice and grain in sealed containers. Third, block the entry points such as gaps under roofs and open vents. Fourth, schedule a pest-control visit at SAR 160–420 per visit to inspect the site and confirm the plan. Finally, arrange follow-up visits and review the results after each one, so the restaurant keeps a clean, bird-free frontage throughout the year.
For restaurants, visits are planned outside service hours and recorded for the premises file.

Common questions about bird control 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.
