What attracts pests in Hittin, and how we treat it
Hittin in north Riyadh, along King Khalid Road, is mostly Large detached villas and palaces, Villas with pools, guest annexes and staff quarters, Upscale apartment buildings and Shops and showrooms along the main roads, which shapes the pests to expect and how to control them. 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. 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 King Abdullah Financial District (KAFD).
