Before we start: what we know about 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..
An office manager in a commercial complex in Makkah usually notices the problem first in the corners of a shared kitchen, under a desk in a quiet meeting room, or along the edge of a loading bay. Fleas and ticks are not common in every office, but when they appear in a building with carpets, soft furnishings, stray animals nearby, or pets brought in by staff, they can spread quickly from one floor to the next. The owner's first concern is usually how to stop the disturbance without closing the building or upsetting tenants.
The local facts shape that plan. The centre of Makkah sits about 301 m above sea level (SRTM open elevation data), so the city is set in a hot, dry, inland landscape rather than on the coast. For a property manager, this means the surrounding ground, courtyards, and service areas can host insects and rodents that move into buildings when conditions change. Pest-control costs also vary widely by task: a pest-control visit typically falls between SAR 160–420 per visit, a rodent control visit between SAR 210–525 per visit, and a follow-up visit between SAR 105–265 per visit. Budgeting for at least one follow-up is therefore sensible, because a single treatment rarely settles an infestation completely.
A practical sequence starts with a full inspection of carpets, furniture, pet-friendly zones, roof and service areas, and any open bird or rodent access points, since these often carry fleas and ticks into the building. Next, seal entry gaps, clean and vacuum floor coverings, and remove clutter where pests hide. Then arrange a pest-control visit for the affected areas, followed by a scheduled follow-up visit to check results and treat any survivors. Finally, agree on a monthly or annual maintenance contract, which in this market runs from SAR 525–1,575 per month, so the building is monitored rather than treated only after complaints.
For offices and commercial complexes, work is scheduled to avoid disrupting staff and visitors.

Common questions about flea & tick 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.
