Picture a villa owner in Makkah who returns from a long day to find cockroaches in the kitchen and bathroom. The property is spacious, with a garden, storage rooms and several floors, and the family has settled into a routine that is now disrupted. Like many owners of larger homes, they want the problem solved once and for all rather than chased from room to room, and they want to understand what the work will cost before anything begins.
The local facts shape that approach. The centre of Makkah sits about 301 m above sea level, which is a useful reminder that the city has its own climate and building conditions, so a plan written for another region may not fit. For a villa, the scale of the job matters. A visit to inspect and treat is priced at SAR 160–420 per visit, and a follow-up visit at SAR 105–265 per visit is normal to confirm the cockroaches have not returned. Owners who expect a single treatment to finish the job often find that a short series of visits gives a far better result, and an annual pest-control contract at SAR 525–1,575 per month can suit households that want ongoing cover rather than repeated call-outs.
Start by walking through the villa with the technician and marking where you see activity, including drains, under sinks, gaps around pipes and storage areas. Ask for an itemised quote that separates the initial visit from any follow-up visits, so you can compare the cost clearly. Clear cupboards and keep food sealed in containers before the visit, and do not clean with strong products just before treatment. Agree on the follow-up schedule in advance, then check the treated areas between visits. If you see the problem spreading to other pests or to structural areas, note this early so it can be assessed while the job is still manageable.
Villas often have several lines and tanks; we test them one at a time so the cause is clear.

Questions from 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.
