Cockroaches are the most common pest problem in duplexes in Twa, mainly because two households share walls, ceilings, pipe shafts and drainage. A treatment in one unit can push insects into the neighbouring flat, so the work has to be planned for the whole building rather than one door. Kitchens, bathrooms and the spaces around water heaters and washing machines are usually where activity is highest, and these are the first places a technician should inspect.
Twa sits at a centre point of 21.3671, 39.7144, about 15.1 km from the centre of Makkah, with an approximate radius of 1.2 km. Its centre is about 337 m above sea level, which is worth knowing when planning the job. Residents in this area often combine cockroach work with other needs, so the price list for bird control runs at SAR 30–85 per m and rodent control at SAR 210–525 per visit. Termite treatment is priced at SAR 10–25 per m², and a general pest-control visit at SAR 160–420 per visit. If a duplex needs more than one service, bundling them under a single annual pest-control contract at SAR 525–1,575 per month can make planning simpler.
Before booking, ask the provider how many visits are included and what a follow-up visit costs, which in this area is SAR 105–265 per visit. Confirm whether the neighbouring unit will be treated at the same time, and whether the plan covers shared drains and common walls. Ask what preparation you need to do, such as clearing cupboards, and how long residents should stay away from treated rooms. Finally, ask for a written quote that lists each service and its price, so you can compare it clearly against the ranges above.
In a duplex, the two floors often share lines, so tests are done floor by floor.
