Mosquito and fly control for hotels and serviced apartments in Makkah starts with the building's position in the city. The centre of Makkah sits about 301 m above sea level (SRTM open elevation data), and that altitude shapes what technicians look at first. Standing water in rooftop tanks, courtyard drains, and garden irrigation is checked before anything else, because these are the spots where mosquitoes breed and where fly larvae develop in damp organic waste near kitchens and bins. The aim of this first pass is to find the breeding sources, not just the adult insects that guests notice.
Several things are deliberately left to the site visit. The technician needs to see the actual layout: how the lobby, corridors, linen store, and kitchen connect, where windows and doors stay open, and whether screens are fitted. Airflow from air-conditioning units, the position of outdoor lighting relative to entrances, and the condition of drains and grease traps all change the treatment plan, and none of them can be judged from a description. The same goes for any bird activity, rodent signs, or termite damage that may show up during the walk-through. Quotes depend on what the visit reveals, so the scope is confirmed on site rather than promised in advance.
To help the technician arrive prepared, the property manager should have ready a floor plan or a rough sketch, a list of rooms and areas that guests use most, and the times when outdoor doors are open. Note any past complaints about insects, the location of the bins and waste collection schedule, and whether water tanks are cleaned on a regular cycle. If there are pools, fountains, or landscaped beds, mark them. Access arrangements matter too: who holds keys to plant rooms and rooftops, and when treatments can be carried out without disturbing guests. Clear answers to these points let the visit cover the whole property in one go.
For hotels and serviced apartments, rooms are handled in batches to keep units available.

Common questions about mosquito & fly 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.
