Before we start: what we know about Dar Al Slam

The centre of Dar Al Slam is at 21.3274, 39.7788, about 10.7 km from the centre of Makkah, with an approximate radius of 1.2 km. The service-area circle on the map below is drawn from this point. The centre of Dar Al Slam sits about 241 m above sea level (SRTM open elevation data).

Cockroaches are the most common pest problem in homes and flats across Dar Al Slam, and they tend to return quickly if only the visible insects are treated. Because they hide in kitchens, bathrooms, drains and behind appliances, a single spray rarely clears an infestation. A proper cockroach visit looks at harbourage points, moisture sources and food residue, then treats the areas where the insects actually live rather than the open floor.

The location shapes that approach. Dar Al Slam sits at about 21.3274, 39.7788, roughly 10.7 km from the centre of Makkah, within an area of about 1.2 km radius. The centre of the district is around 241 m above sea level. Properties here therefore need a plan that accounts for the specific mix of buildings and surroundings in this part of Makkah, rather than a generic template used across the city. Technicians will usually start by surveying the property and noting where pests enter, where water collects and where stored food or packaging provides shelter, so the treatment matches the conditions on site.

Before booking, ask the provider to confirm the scope of work for your property and whether the quote covers inspection, treatment and any return visit. Price ranges for pest-control services in the facts include a pest-control visit at SAR 160–420 per visit, a follow-up visit at SAR 105–265 per visit, and an annual pest-control contract at SAR 525–1,575 per month. Ask which of these applies to your case and what the follow-up plan includes. It is also useful to ask what preparation you need to do, such as clearing cupboards and moving items away from walls, and how long residents should stay away from treated rooms.

Each job ends with a written report that carries a verification code you can check on our site.
