Cockroaches are the most frequent call we receive for homes and small apartment blocks in Al Salhya, Riyadh. They tend to move in from drains, kitchens, and shared utility shafts, and they are hard to clear with a single spray because eggs hidden in cracks hatch after the first visit. For that reason, a proper cockroach job is usually a visit followed by a check, not a one-off treatment.

Al Salhya sits at roughly 24.6341, 46.7342, about 10.7 km from the centre of Riyadh, within an approximate radius of 1.2 km. The area is set at around 585 metres above sea level, which is a useful reference point when planning routine visits. Because the district lies outside the dense core of the city, many homes have older drainage and more gaps around external walls, so our technicians focus on sealing entry points and checking waste and drain areas before applying any treatment. The published pest-control visit rate here is SAR 300–400 per visit, and a follow-up visit is SAR 105–265 per visit, so the scope of the first treatment and the follow-up plan should be agreed in advance.

Before booking, ask the provider to state exactly what is included in the first visit, whether the follow-up is part of the quoted price, and how the treatment will be applied in kitchens and bathrooms where food and water are present. Ask whether an annual pest-control contract at SAR 525–1,575 per month would suit your building, and what the monthly cost covers. If your property also has rodents or termites, ask for those rates separately: rodent control is SAR 210–525 per visit, and termite treatment is SAR 10–25 per m². Request written pricing so you can compare the offer with the published ranges.

Prices shown on this page come from our own published price list for the city; the final price is set after inspection.
