Cockroaches in the kitchen, bed bugs, or termites? Here are rough prices, what works for each pest, and how to agree a job with a company without surprises.
Rough prices for homes. The final price depends on the size, how bad the problem is, the number of visits and the product used.

| Bed bugs (usually two visits) | SAR 250 – 700 |

| Termites, villa | SAR 900 – 3,500 |
💡 Ask about the guarantee: many companies include a free second visit if the pests come back within the guarantee period.
🐜 Bed bugs and termites need more than one treatment. If someone quotes a cheap single visit, ask what happens if they don't go.
A rough guide from 5 sources in Riyadh (October 2026), mostly price pages of pest control companies. The final price is agreed between you and the company. Laqeeni doesn't set prices or take commission.
They usually come from drains and damp. Gel works better than spray in kitchens: they eat it and carry it back to the nest.
A sign of bed bugs. Check the mattress seams and bed frame for tiny black dots or small brown bugs.
A sign of termites. Act quickly: they eat doors and cupboards from the inside and you only see it late.
They come for food and sugar. Clean surfaces and closed containers help a lot, and gel deals with the nest.
They get in through gaps around pipes and doors. You need traps or bait and sealed gaps, not just spray.
Usually there's standing water: a dripping AC, plant pots or an open tank. Remove the water first.
Pest control companies must be licensed. Ask for the company's official name, not just a mobile number.
Ask the name of the pesticide, whether it's registered with the SFDA, and whether it's safe with children and pets.
Ask how many visits the price covers, and whether a second visit is free if the pests return.
How long is the guarantee? Get it in writing, even on WhatsApp, with the company name.
Ask before spraying how many hours you need to be out, especially children, older people and pets.
Look for genuine reviews from earlier customers, ideally weeks after the treatment, not the same day.

Many homes only need it once or twice a year as prevention. If there's an infestation, the technician will say how many visits.
