What attracts pests in Okaz, and how we treat it
Okaz in south Riyadh combines villas and apartment buildings, crossed by Dirab Road, each with different weak points for pests. 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. The right plan: inspect the perimeter, garden and manholes, use gel baits in the kitchen instead of broad spraying, treat termites in the soil if tubes appear, then a follow-up visit. We also serve premises around Okaz Park.
Most likely pests in Okaz
| 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 Okaz residents
What does pest control cost in Okaz?
For buildings in Okaz 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 are most likely in Okaz?
In Okaz 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 Okaz Park we also plan access and working hours.
Do I need to leave home during treatment in Okaz?
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. Riyadh is served directly; the visit in Okaz is scheduled by technician availability.
