Makkah's city centre sits about 301 m above sea level (SRTM open elevation data), a fact that shapes how we plan rodent work in apartment blocks there. Buildings are often dense, with shared service shafts, rooftops and stairwells where rats and mice travel between floors. Because the terrain is built up tightly, one unsealed opening can serve a whole block, so our inspections look at the building as a connected system rather than unit by unit.
Each part of that picture translates into a practical step. Rodent control is priced at SAR 210–525 per visit, and the visit is scoped to the actual problem: sealing entry points around pipes and vents, setting baits in concealed positions away from children and pets, and checking shared areas so treatment in one flat does not leave a reservoir next door. Where a block has a bird problem as well, bird control is charged at SAR 30–85 per m, so we measure the affected area first and quote for that exact space. Follow-up visits, at SAR 105–265 per visit, are planned in advance so we can confirm that bait has been taken and that new droppings or gnaw marks have stopped.
Owners who avoid the most common mistakes get faster and cheaper results. They do not put out poison without sealing gaps, because rodents simply return through the same openings. They do not store food, rubbish or pet feed in open containers in shared corridors. They do not wait for a sighting before booking, since a single visit rarely clears an established colony. Finally, they do not treat termites as the same job: termite treatment is priced separately at SAR 10–25 per m², and mixing the two jobs in one quote leaves both poorly done. Booking a standard pest-control visit at SAR 160–420 per visit for a clear diagnosis is usually the sensible first step.
In apartment buildings, the floor below is often where a leak shows first.
Signs worth paying attention to
These are the signs most often linked to rodent control:
- Noises in the ceiling at night

- Gaps around pipes and doors.
- An open drain — we check this before anything else.
How we choose the tool in Makkah
| Tool or method | What it measures | Why it is chosen here |
|---|---|---|
| Closed bait stations | Rodents and termites | Limits: placed away from children and pets |
| Inspection and diagnosis | The pest, its hiding places and entry points | Limits: needs access to the kitchen, cupboards and entries |
| Sealing and exclusion (mesh, spikes, gap filling) | Rodents, birds and scorpions | Limits: new gaps need follow-up |
How the work is done, step by step
- Inspection: Entry points and runways are found.
- Sealing: Gaps are closed before anything else.

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.
