Rodents are the most common problem in apartments in Makkah, and an annual contract is usually the most practical way to keep them under control. Rodent control is priced at SAR 210–525 per visit, so the cost of a contract that includes regular checks is easier to plan for than repeated emergency call-outs. Apartment blocks share drains, service ducts and waste areas, which means one unsealed gap can affect several flats at once. A contract lets the technician inspect these shared points on a schedule rather than only when a problem is already visible.
The centre of Makkah sits about 301 m above sea level (SRTM open elevation data), and this affects how a technician plans the work. The city is set in a hilly, built-up landscape, so buildings are often close together and access to rooftops, storage areas and ground-floor drains can vary from block to block. A contract with a fixed visit schedule allows the technician to map these routes once and reuse the plan. Bird control is also priced by length at SAR 30–85 per m, which matters on taller blocks where pigeons and other birds settle on ledges, balconies and air-conditioning units. Termite treatment, at SAR 10–25 per m², is best scoped at the start of the contract so that wooden fittings and floor areas are measured properly.
Before the first visit, ask the provider to confirm exactly what the annual contract covers, including the monthly fee of SAR 525–1,575, how many routine visits are included, and what a follow-up visit costs at SAR 105–265 per visit. Ask whether the standard pest-control visit at SAR 160–420 per visit includes an inspection report and whether treatments are applied to shared areas or only inside your flat. Check who is responsible for sealing gaps and bird-proofing, and whether the building management must approve work on the outside of the building. Clear answers to these questions help you compare contracts fairly and avoid surprises later.
In an apartment, a problem may start in your unit or in a shared line; we separate the two before any work.
