Take photos of what you find; a picture can change both the treatment and the price.
Cockroaches running under the cooker or into the drain? How many and how big tells you whether it's a few strays or a full nest.
Tiny black dots or faint blood spots on the sheet, and bites in a row on your skin in the morning: signs of bed bugs.
A door frame or wardrobe that sounds hollow, or thin mud lines on a wall or round a palm's base: a sign of termites.
Small droppings, gnawed bags, or scratching in the false ceiling at night means rodents.
⚠️ Don't mix shop-bought sprays or use them near food or children. If a company is spraying, ask when it's safe to go back in.
A first guess. The technician confirms where they're coming from once they've looked.
In the heat they move into pipes and drains and come up into kitchens and bathrooms. Gel in the corners plus treating the drains works better than spraying every room.
They travel in bags and clothes. Rental flats near the Haram can be exposed with guests changing often, and usually need at least two visits.
Homes next to farms and empty plots see more of them. Sealing gaps round pipes and doors plus spraying the outside helps.
They come up from the ground into door frames and cupboards. The treatment is different from ordinary spraying, often injecting the soil around the house.
They come through cracks in the tiles or from the garden. Bait on their trail beats spraying them every day.
Around bins and planters. Cleaning and lidding the bins comes before any spray.
The place decides the method and the number of visits.
Most requests: cockroaches around kitchens and bathrooms.
Guests changing over in Ramadan and the busy seasons.
Garden, palms, an annex and a storeroom.
The technician needs to reach the corners where pests live.
Or put them in the fridge. Don't wipe away the gel once it's been applied.
Find out from the firm when you can return, and have children and elderly relatives stay elsewhere.
For bed bugs, a hot wash and drying in the sun help the treatment.
Write them on WhatsApp and keep the replies.
Get the product named; is it approved by the Saudi Food and Drug Authority?
Bed bugs and heavy cockroach problems usually need a follow-up.
If they come back within it, is the second visit free?
It depends on the product. Ask about children and pets.
A lot of infestations come from outside the flat.
Matters most for bed bugs.
There may be an excuse, but take your time before agreeing.
It's your home; you should know what goes on its walls and floors.
Treating without knowing the pest and its source usually means it comes back.
Some products have little smell. If it's choking, air the house and call the company.
Especially with bed bugs and termites. A realistic promise includes a follow-up.
Prices and ranges published for Madinah firms and requests (2026). Area, severity and repeat visits move the figure.
| Service | Rough price |
|---|---|
| Cockroaches in a flat (gel plus spray) | SAR 200 – 350 |
| General spraying (request average) | SAR 150 – 800 |
| Bed bug treatment | SAR 200 – 500 |
| Bed bugs, hotel room, heat treatment | SAR 400 – 700 |
| Rodent control | SAR 200 – 800 |
| Whole-villa treatment | SAR 500 – 1,000 |
| Termites | SAR 250 – 1,400; soil injection SAR 1,500 – 4,000 |
| Three-monthly contract, furnished flats or hotel | SAR 1,200 – 3,000 |
💡 Termites are the priciest item because the soil round the whole house is treated, not just the rooms. Ask them to measure and put the area in the quote.
🏨 Furnished-flat owners: a regular contract often costs less than an emergency spray every time a guest complains, and it catches bed bugs early.
Drawn from a page that collects Madinah pest firms' prices (last revised November 2026) and HomeRun averages for Madinah requests in 2026. These are advertised figures and averages. The real bill comes from your agreement with the firm; we see no part of it.
Published prices for a flat with gel and spray are about SAR 200 – 350, while HomeRun's average across Madinah cockroach requests is SAR 200 – 700 depending on size and severity. Check the warranty and the follow-up visit too.
Wash sheets and clothes hot, don't move the mattresses to another room, and get a company that treats bed bugs in two visits or with heat. Published Madinah treatment starts at about SAR 200.
An outside treatment every few months usually helps, together with sealing gaps round pipes and doors. Ask for a termite check if there's old timber or trees close to the walls.
We take nothing. The pest firm deals with you directly, from the first call to the warranty.
