Termite control in Riyadh
It may seem odd that termites are a problem in a dry city like Riyadh, but irrigated gardens, palm farms and moist soil around homes create good conditions for them. They are more common in villas with gardens, in homes where woodwork touches the soil, and near leaks. In new districts with lots of construction, many owners ask about soil treatment before the foundations are poured.
What sets termite control in Riyadh apart?
In Riyadh the inspection usually focuses on the garden and the walls next to it, irrigation and leak spots, and wooden doors and cupboards on ground floors. In new buildings, soil treatment is coordinated with the contractor before foundations and floors are poured, and a certificate or report is requested.

- Keep sprinklers away from walls and foundations.
- Don’t store wood and cardboard on the ground near walls.
- Check wooden doors on the ground floor regularly.
- For a new build, ask the contractor about soil treatment early.
