Why restaurant pest management differs in Makkah
Team note on Makkah: Kashf teams serve this city and its nearby districts with the same documented inspection standard: device-based leak detection without demolition, a written report, and a clear scope before any work begins.. The centre of Makkah sits about 301 m above sea level (SRTM open elevation data).
Makkah's dense residential districts, with their high-rise towers and tightly packed older buildings, create conditions where pests move easily between units, shafts and rooftops. Restaurant pest management for residential buildings here therefore needs to be planned around the whole block rather than one flat at a time. The facts given for this page are mostly about other services, so the local details below stay general and focus on what applies to shared building pest control.
For a residential building, the first checks usually cover shared kitchen drains, waste areas, ground-floor food outlets and the building's ventilation and utility shafts, because these are the routes pests use to travel between floors. Restaurant-linked units are inspected first since food storage and waste raise the pest pressure on neighbouring flats. Treatment is scheduled so residents are not exposed to products during the hours they are most likely to be home, and access to each unit is agreed in advance.
Before the visit, the building manager or owner should gather the list of units, any recent pest sightings with their locations, and the restaurant's delivery and waste collection times. Ask the team which areas will be treated, which products will be used, how long residents should stay out of treated rooms, and how follow-up visits will be recorded for the building file.
For a whole building, a survey of the shared systems comes before unit-by-unit work.

Is it possible to renovate the building without evacuating the residents?
