Picture a family that owns a duplex in the older residential fabric of their neighbourhood. Their two floors share a stairwell, a roof and the same drains, so a cockroach problem started in one unit rarely stays there. Sightings in the kitchen soon spread to the bathroom and the ground-floor store, and the owners are left unsure whether to treat only their own unit or coordinate with the household next door.

Hara Al Bab Al Jdyd is centred at 21.3304, 39.7230, about 15.4 km from the centre of Makkah, with an approximate radius of 1.2 km. Its centre sits about 239 m above sea level. For a duplex owner, these facts mean the property is a short drive from the city centre but within a defined local area, so it is practical to schedule visits and follow-ups across neighbouring properties in a single round. Because the entire building shares drains and common walls, treating both floors and the shared points at the same time usually gives better results than a single-unit visit.

Start by inspecting both floors together, checking kitchens, drains, the stairwell and the roof. Note where droppings, egg cases and gaps around pipes appear. Next, agree a treatment date with the other unit so that work happens in the same week. Then book a pest-control visit, typically priced at SAR 160–420 per visit, and ask for the follow-up visit, SAR 105–265 per visit, to be scheduled before the first visit ends. If rodents are also present, add rodent control at SAR 210–525 per visit. For ongoing protection, compare an annual pest-control contract at SAR 525–1,575 per month against single visits. Finally, keep a simple log of dates and sightings so each follow-up can be checked against the previous one.

In a duplex, the two floors often share lines, so tests are done floor by floor.
