Choose the service that fits your stage
Termites live in the soil and work their way toward the wood and structural materials inside a building. Sandy dry soil and high summer temperatures help them spread unseen, and damage to doors, floors and walls often becomes visible only after it has been going on for a long time.
The first sign you usually see is not the insect itself. It is hollow-sounding wood that taps with an empty note, paint peeling without a clear reason, or thin mud tunnels running along a wall or near the foundations. In buildings under construction, there is a wider opportunity to protect the entire structure before the slab is poured and the walls are finished.
Termite control differs depending on the stage: is the building under construction or already occupied? What is the floor area, the type of soil and the materials involved? These are the questions we start with when you call or message us on WhatsApp, so we can agree the right service and a time that suits you.
Termite protection starts before construction or after it; the right service depends on which stage you are at now.

What sets Umm Athlah apart
Umm Athlah is a village of family homes, farms and rest houses spread across wide spaces, where foundations and external walls are often affected by moisture from the ground and irrigation. Termites are drawn to these conditions and colonise wood and building materials. When you call, tell us which buildings are affected and where you have noticed damage, and we will arrange a thorough inspection and suitable treatment.
Umm Athlah is a village in the Riyadh region. Orders are placed by call or WhatsApp on the main number, and the inspection and treatment time is then fixed.
In homes on agricultural land or adjoining fields, moisture is high and infestation spreads easily, so telling us about irrigation and drainage helps us diagnose the problem.

Questions about Termite control
What is the difference between termite spraying and treating the foundations?
Termite spraying targets areas where activity shows up inside a completed building, while foundation treatment is carried out during construction before the slab is poured, forming a barrier in the soil to stop termites rising. The right service depends on which stage your building is at when you call.
How do I know I have termites and not ordinary ants?
Termites look and behave differently: they are creamy white in colour, have short legs and build mud tunnels on walls while avoiding light. Ordinary ants walk in visible lines. The clearest signs are hollow wood and mud trails rather than the insect itself.
Do I need to leave the house before treatment?
It depends on the type of treatment and the areas targeted, and we tell you exactly what is needed when we agree the time. In some cases clearing the treated rooms temporarily is enough; in others leaving the building for a period is advisable. We will tell you precisely what is needed before we arrive.
I see mud tunnels on an outside wall. Is that serious?
Mud tunnels are passages that termites build to travel between the soil and their target without exposure to air. Finding them on an outside wall means they are looking for a way in or have already found one. Inspecting the area closely shows whether the activity is current or old.
Does termite (arda) control differ between villas and flats?
Yes. A villa has foundations in direct contact with the soil and more wood in its doors and suspended ceilings, making it more exposed. Flats on upper floors carry less risk, but ground-floor flats or those with a garden need an inspection similar to a villa. These details affect how the work is approached.
Does termiticide spraying protect a building for a long time?
No treatment lasts indefinitely, because conditions change: soil cracks, moisture levels shift and alterations are made to the building. A treatment forms an effective barrier for a period, after which the building needs to be reassessed depending on its condition and the level of risk.
Can I request termite control for a commercial building?
Yes, we carry out termite control in both residential and commercial buildings across and the surrounding area. When you call, tell us the type of building, the approximate area and what signs you have noticed, and we agree on what suits your situation.
Can termite treatment be done without leaving the home in Umm Athlah?
Treatment details are agreed with you when you call, based on the type of infestation, its location and the areas needing protection. We will explain the steps needed and how they fit your family's routine.
How often in a year should I check for termites?
Regular inspections help catch infestation early, especially in damp areas like Umm Athlah. Contact us if you spot any suspicious signs, and we will advise you on a monitoring schedule that suits your home's condition.
