Zhra Nmar sits at 24.5546, 46.6150, about 18.7 km from the centre of Riyadh, with an approximate radius of 1.2 km. Its centre lies about 717 m above sea level, and the nearest wadi channel is about 0.8 km from the centre. For duplex owners, this means the neighbourhood is a compact residential area on the edge of the city, where properties are close to open ground and natural drainage lines. Technicians plan each visit around that setting, checking the foundations, wall bases and ground-level openings that face the open land, since these are the routes insects and rodents tend to use when moving between open ground and buildings.

The elevation and the nearby wadi shape how the service is scoped. At about 717 m above sea level, the area sees the dry, warm conditions typical of the Riyadh plateau, and a wadi channel 0.8 km away can carry seasonal runoff and attract wildlife. A treatment plan therefore starts with a site survey that covers damp corners, drainage outlets and the soil beside the building, because these spots hold moisture that encourages termite activity. Termite treatment is priced at SAR 10–25 per m², so the surveyed floor and wall area sets the cost. Because the wadi keeps pest pressure steady, a follow-up visit at SAR 105–265 per visit is often scheduled to confirm the barrier is holding.

Owners of duplexes in Zhra Nmar commonly make a few avoidable errors. The first is waiting until damage is visible before calling a technician, when termites have often spread through timber and hidden voids. The second is sealing gaps around doors and pipes without first checking them for signs of activity, which can trap pests inside. The third is treating only one unit of a shared building, leaving the neighbouring unit as a route for reinfestation. Pest-control visits at SAR 160–420 per visit, bird control at SAR 30–85 per m², and rodent control at SAR 210–525 per visit are best planned together, so each unit is covered at the same time.

In a duplex, the two floors often share lines, so tests are done floor by floor.

When do you need termite control?

The following signs are worth checking before they grow:

• Mud tubes on the walls
• Wood that sounds hollow when tapped
• Fallen wings near windows

Where the problem usually comes from

• Wood in contact with soil.
• Constant damp near the foundation — we check this before anything else.
• A continuous water leak.

Tools and methods, and when we use them

How the work is done, step by step

1. Mapping the tubes: Activity is traced back to the entry point.
2. Choosing the plan: Soil treatment, injection or bait stations.
3. Execution: Applied according to the plan.
4. Follow-up: Stations and treated areas are rechecked.
