What attracts pests in Al Masif, and how we treat it
Al Masif in north Riyadh combines villas, apartment buildings and shops and commercial buildings, crossed by Northern Ring Road, each with different weak points for pests. A villa has two layers of defence: an outer ring of boundary wall, garden, annex and manholes, and an inner one of kitchen, bathrooms and store; successful treatment works from the outside in. 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 in this kind of district: small repairs before any product — filling joints, tight drain covers, fixing leaks — then treatment aimed at the identified pest and a follow-up visit.
Most likely pests in Al Masif
| 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 |
