Frequently Asked Questions

Reliable Answers to Your Pest Control Questions.

We know that inviting a pest control team into your home or business comes with a lot of questions. We've answered the most common ones below. If you don't find what you're looking for, just reach out — our team is always happy to help.

Are the chemicals you use safe for my children and pets?

Absolutely. At Ecoguard, we use only eco-certified, low-toxicity treatments that are approved for use in homes with children and pets. Before any treatment, our technician will walk you through exactly what products are being applied, where they will be used, and any short ventilation period required after treatment. Your family's safety is our first priority — not an afterthought.

Do you offer same-day or next-day service in Riyadh?

Yes. We offer same-day and next-day bookings across all Riyadh districts, subject to technician availability. For urgent infestations — such as active wasp nests, severe rodent activity, or commercial kitchen emergencies — we prioritise rapid response. Call us directly on +966544633729, +966502516609 to check availability for your area

How long does a pest control treatment take?

Treatment time depends on the type of pest and the size of the property. A standard cockroach or ant treatment for a residential villa typically takes 45 minutes to 1.5 hours. Termite soil barrier treatments for larger properties can take half a day or more. Bed bug heat treatments generally require 4–6 hours per affected area. Our technician will give you a precise time estimate after the initial inspection.

How many visits will I need before the pest problem is fully resolved?

Most standard infestations are resolved within 1 to 2 treatment visits, followed by a follow-up inspection. For more persistent problems — such as heavy termite infestations, recurring rodent activity, or large-scale bed bug infestations — a structured treatment plan of 3 or more visits may be recommended. We never upsell unnecessary visits; we only schedule what your situation genuinely requires.

Do I need to leave my home during the treatment?

For most standard treatments such as cockroach, ant, and spider control, you can remain at home during the service. However, for treatments involving fogging, fumigation, or heavy chemical application, we recommend vacating the premises for 2–4 hours as a precaution. For bed bug heat treatments, all occupants and pets should leave for the full duration. Our technician will advise you clearly before beginning any work.

Are your technicians licensed and certified in Saudi Arabia?

Yes. Every Ecoguard technician holds a valid pest control licence issued under the Saudi Ministry of Environment, Water & Agriculture (MEWA). Our team also undergoes continuous training in Integrated Pest Management (IPM) practices, ensuring that treatments meet international safety and efficacy standards. You can request to see our licence

What pests do you treat in Riyadh?

We treat all major residential and commercial pests found in the Riyadh region, including cockroaches, termites, rodents (rats and mice), bed bugs, ants, flies, spiders, wasps, and bees. If you are dealing with a pest not listed here, contact us — we will assess and advise the best course of action.

Do you provide a guarantee on your pest control treatments?

Yes. We stand behind our work. Most of our treatments come with a 3-month service guarantee — meaning if the same pest problem returns within the guarantee period, we will re-treat at no additional cost. Terms vary slightly by pest type and treatment method; our team will clearly explain the guarantee that applies to your specific service at the time of booking.

Can you inspect my property before providing a quote?

Absolutely — and we strongly recommend it. A free on-site inspection allows our technician to accurately assess the type and severity of the infestation, identify entry points, and recommend the most effective treatment plan. This ensures you receive an accurate, transparent quote with no hidden charges. Book your free inspection today.

Do you treat commercial properties as well as homes?

Yes. Ecoguard serves both residential and commercial clients across Riyadh. We have experience working with restaurants, warehouses, offices, retail stores, schools, mosques, and hospitality properties. Commercial pest contracts include scheduled visits, documentation, and compliance reports suitable for health and safety audits.

How can I prevent pests from returning after treatment?

Our technicians provide personalised prevention advice at the end of every service. Common recommendations include sealing entry points around pipes and doors, maintaining dry and clean kitchen environments, removing standing water, proper food storage, and regular property inspections. We also offer affordable annual maintenance contracts for ongoing protection throughout the year.
