About Al Muruj
Al Muruj is a central north Riyadh district bounded by the Northern Ring Road to the north, King Fahd Road to the west, King Abdulaziz Road to the east and Imam Saud bin Abdulaziz Road to the south, with Olaya Street running through it.

What attracts pests in Al Muruj, and how we treat it
Al Muruj in north Riyadh combines villas, apartment buildings and shops and commercial buildings, crossed by Northern Ring Road, each with different weak points for pests. Villas, with gardens, walkways and annexes, give pests many ways in: manholes and garden drains for cockroaches, timber against walls for termites, and open yards for scorpions. 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. The right plan: a programme that separates homes from shops, treating bin rooms and shared drains, with regular visits for food outlets.
Most likely pests in Al Muruj
| 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 |
