Shab Aly Al Jdyd sits at 21.2552, 39.7310, about 19.9 km from the centre of Makkah, with an approximate radius of 1.2 km. The centre of the area is about 174 m above sea level, and the nearest wadi channel lies about 0.5 km from the centre. For rest houses and farms, this means the property is set in open country rather than a dense urban block, so pests can move in from surrounding land and along the wadi edges. Technicians plan routes around that access, checking boundary walls, drainage points and storage areas before treating the interior.

Each of these facts has a practical effect on the work. The distance from Makkah and the defined radius help us size the service area and schedule visits efficiently, so a site is reached on a predictable route. The elevation and the nearby wadi channel point to seasonal moisture and debris that attract cockroaches and other pests, so inspections focus on drains, cool damp corners and the perimeter facing the channel. Because the property is open, a single treatment rarely holds on its own; the plan normally combines an initial visit with follow-up checks, and the cost of each stage depends on the scope, from a pest-control visit at SAR 160–420 per visit to a monthly annual contract at SAR 525–1,575 per month.

Owners of rest houses and farms often make the same mistakes, and a good service avoids them. Many wait until infestations are large instead of booking inspections early. Others clean kitchens and stores but leave wadi-facing gaps, unsealed pipe openings and piles of waste near the buildings. Some skip the follow-up visit, which at SAR 105–265 per visit is the step that confirms the treatment has worked, and others assume a single visit covers every pest type, when rodent control at SAR 210–525 per visit and bird control at SAR 30–85 per m are separate jobs. Clear records of visits and sealed entry points make the next treatment faster and more effective.

Rest houses and farms often have long buried lines, tanks and irrigation that need separate tests.
