Termite work in Al Rfyaa starts with the ground and the water, because the setting shapes what a technician should look for first. The centre of Al Rfyaa sits at 24.6399, 46.6616, about 8.3 km from the centre of Riyadh, and it covers an approximate radius of 1.2 km. The area lies around 618 m above sea level. The nearest wadi channel is about 0.8 km from the centre, which matters because soil moisture and drainage paths near a wadi can influence where subterranean termites travel and where they establish nests. A technician should therefore check how water moves around the building, look for damp soil against foundations, and note any low ground that collects runoff.

Some points cannot be settled from a map and are left to the site visit. The exact soil profile, the condition of the slab and the wall junctions, the presence of mud tubes, cracked render, timber in contact with the ground, and the state of irrigation near the walls all have to be inspected on the property itself. Pricing is also confirmed on site: termite treatment is quoted from SAR 10–25 per m², and the final figure depends on the treated area, access and the chosen method. A single pest-control visit is quoted at SAR 300–400, while a follow-up visit is SAR 105–265 per visit. Any combined work, such as rodent control at SAR 210–525 per visit or bird control at SAR 30–85 per m, is scoped during the inspection rather than assumed in advance.

To help the technician, the resident or landlord should have the following ready: a sketch of the building with the wall lines marked, any previous treatment records with dates, notes on where water pools after rain, and access details for the ground floor and any stores. Mention whether the property sits closer to the wadi side. Point out areas that were recently repaired or painted, since these can hide earlier damage. Clear access to the perimeter and any sealed rooms saves time and lets the technician complete a thorough assessment in one visit.

Each job ends with a written report that carries a verification code you can check on our site.
