Why cockroach control differs in 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..
Picture the owner of a mid-sized food business or office block near the Holy Mosque, where foot traffic, deliveries and kitchen waste are constant. For a manager in this position, cockroaches are rarely a one-off problem. They move between storerooms, drains and back corridors, and a single sighting can damage a reputation that took years to build. The owner typically wants a provider who can respond on a steady schedule rather than only when something goes wrong, and who can keep records that show the building is being checked properly.
The local setting shapes that plan. The centre of Makkah sits about 301 m above sea level, so the site is in a dense urban valley where buildings sit close together and pests can travel easily from one property to the next. Treatment therefore has to cover the whole block of premises, not just the company's own floor. An annual contract suits this reality because it gives a regular rhythm of visits, with budgeting spread across the year. Companies on an annual arrangement can expect a monthly fee in the range of SAR 525–1,575 per month, with each pest-control visit costing SAR 160–420 per visit and follow-up visits SAR 105–265 per visit.
A sensible route starts with a full site survey to identify entry points, waste areas and moisture sources. Next, agree on the scope of the contract, including whether rodent control (SAR 210–525 per visit) or bird control (SAR 30–85 per m) should be added. Then schedule the first treatment, followed by regular inspections and a follow-up visit wherever activity is still recorded. Keep a simple log of sightings and visits so trends are visible. Finally, review the contract each year, adjust the frequency to what the records show, and check whether structural work such as sealing gaps or termite treatment at SAR 10–25 per m² is needed.
For companies, an annual contract sets the scope, the visit schedule and the reports in writing.

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.
