Mosquito and fly problems are the most common concern for homes and apartments in Makkah before a purchase or a handover, and they often appear first in the rooms that face courtyards, water tanks, drains or shaded service areas. Many buyers notice the issue only after moving in, when a property that looked clean during a daytime viewing turns out to have insects gathering near windows and drains at dusk. Checking early saves a lot of frustration and avoids paying for repeated treatments later.
Makkah sits about 301 m above sea level, which shapes how this work is approached. The local warmth and humidity keep insects active for much of the year, so a treatment plan here cannot be a single spray done once and forgotten. A visit is better planned around the places where water collects and where insects breed, and the findings should guide whether a one-off visit is enough or whether a recurring plan makes more sense. Because the site and the season both matter, a technician who inspects the building before quoting will give a more useful answer than one who prices the job from a phone call.
Before the visit, ask the provider to explain exactly what they will inspect, which areas they will treat, and what follow-up is included. Ask for a price range per visit and whether a monthly contract, with plans from SAR 525 to SAR 1,575 per month, would suit your building better than occasional visits at SAR 160 to SAR 420 per visit. Confirm the cost of any follow-up visit, which typically runs from SAR 105 to SAR 265, and ask whether rodent or bird issues will be checked at the same time, since rodent control is priced separately at SAR 210 to SAR 525 per visit. Clear answers to these questions make the handover or purchase decision far easier.
Before buying or taking over a property, an inspection gives you findings in writing before you sign.

Short answers for 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.
