Before we start: what we know about Makkah

Scorpion and snake prevention in Makkah starts with the ground itself. The centre of Makkah sits about 301 m above sea level (SRTM open elevation data), in a hot, dry valley where stone, sand and rubble around buildings give scorpions and snakes plenty of shelter. The first things we check are the points where a building meets the outside: door thresholds, gaps under external doors, wall cracks, drainage openings, and the edges of courtyards and car parks. Gaps of this kind are the usual route in, so we note them before anything else is treated.
The site visit is where the actual cost and method are decided, and that depends on the property rather than on any published rate. We look at the length of the perimeter, the amount of landscaping or loose stone, the presence of stored materials, and any signs of activity such as shed skins, droppings or trails. Where other pests are also present, we record them separately, because the prices for bird control, rodent control, termite treatment and general pest visits differ and are quoted only after inspection. Any follow-up need is agreed at this stage too, with follow-up visits listed as SAR 105–265 per visit.
For the technician, the most useful information is a clear picture of the layout and recent history. Please tell us roughly where the scorpions or snakes have been seen, whether the property has a garden, a basement or a rooftop store, and when the problem first appeared. Note any work done recently on drains, walls or flooring, since fresh openings often attract pests. If you have an annual pest-control contract, which runs SAR 525–1,575 per month, let us know, as it changes how visits are scheduled. Clear access to the outside perimeter and the areas you are concerned about will let us work faster and treat the right spots first.

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.
