When a flat or small house in Mkhymat Hjaj Rwsya, Makkah suddenly fills with cockroaches, the owner usually notices them at night in the kitchen or bathroom, and the problem often feels urgent because food, bins and water sources are close at hand. The worry is not only the mess but the speed at which an infestation can spread through a building, especially when neighbouring units share drains and waste areas. Owners in this situation want someone to come quickly, assess the source and stop the spread before it reaches bedrooms and storage rooms.

The location shapes what this means in practice. Mkhymat Hjaj Rwsya sits at about 370 m above sea level, roughly 5.8 km from the centre of Makkah, within an area of around 1.2 km in radius. Because the district lies close to the city centre, buildings tend to be dense and waste collection and drainage can be shared between many households, so a cockroach problem can come from a neighbour as easily as from your own kitchen. Treatment in one unit alone may not last if nearby properties remain untreated, so it helps to tell your building manager or neighbours as well.

For an emergency visit, start by keeping food sealed and clearing dishes, and avoid spraying household products yourself, since this can scatter insects and make inspection harder. Next, note where you have seen them and any droppings or egg cases, and check for leaks under sinks and around drains. Then arrange a pest-control visit, which in this area is typically priced at SAR 160–420 per visit, and ask the technician to inspect the whole property and shared drains. Afterwards, book a follow-up visit, usually SAR 105–265 per visit, to confirm the treatment has worked, and keep the area dry and clean between visits.

If water is flowing, close the main valve first, then call or message with photos.
