Pest control and spraying in Al Awali, Makkah
About Al Awali
Al Awali lies in southeast Makkah near the holy sites and Umm Al-Qura University, bordered by the Fourth Ring Road. It is one of the city's largest districts, with spacious villas and family apartments. Large villa roofs face strong sun all day, so good thermal insulation of roofs and facades is one of the most effective ways to lower electricity use here. District guide
What attracts pests in Al Awali, and how we treat it
Al Awali in south Makkah, along Fourth Ring Road, is mostly villas and apartment buildings, which shapes the pests to expect and how to control them. In a villa most problems start outside: a daily-irrigated garden keeps soil damp near the foundations, manholes ring the building, and an annex or store is rarely opened. Through the long hot summer cockroaches are active in drains and manholes, and the American cockroach usually lives in sewers, so these points are treated and their covers sealed before the inside. What we suggest for homes here: an outside inspection first of walls, garden and annexes, then indoor spot baits, a limited outdoor barrier where needed, and a follow-up after two to four weeks. Inspections also cover buildings near Umm Al-Qura University.
Most likely pests in Al Awali
| Pest | Where it hides | Suitable treatment |
|---|---|---|
| cockroaches | drains, manholes, kitchens and bathrooms | gel baits in cracks and sealed drain covers |
| ants | food residue, sugars and tile cracks | spot baits and tracing the trail to its source |
| termites | damp soil and timber touching it | check mud tubes, then a soil barrier or baits |
| scorpions | vacant plots, stones, building debris and walls | clearing the perimeter, sealing gaps and targeted outdoor treatment |

Questions from Al Awali residents
How much is pest spraying in Al Awali, Makkah?
For buildings in Al Awali we start from these ranges before VAT: villa SAR 350–1,000; apartment SAR 150–400. The price rises with area, severity and number of visits; bed bug and termite work is priced on its own, and the figure is fixed in a written offer after inspection.
Which pests do we usually treat in Al Awali?
In Al Awali buildings we typically meet cockroaches, ants, termites and scorpions. Because random spraying scatters pests without reaching the source, we start with an inspection that finds harbourages and then choose the right method for each pest. Near Umm Al-Qura University we also plan access and working hours.
When can I go back home after spraying in Al Awali, and do you cover the district?
The re-entry time is set by the product label and written in your visit report; with spot baits you usually do not need to leave. Afterwards ventilate the rooms and do not wipe the treated cracks. Makkah is served directly; the visit in Al Awali is scheduled by technician availability.
