What are termites?
Termites are small, pale insects living in colonies underground. They need moisture and avoid light, so they build mud tubes to climb from the soil to wood. They eat from the inside and leave the outer skin intact, which is why they are found late.
Termites versus ordinary ants
| Feature | Termite | Ordinary ant |
|---|---|---|
| Colour | Creamy white | Black, brown or red |
| Waist | None, a straight body | A clear narrow waist |
| Antennae | Straight | Bent |
| Wings of the winged form | Four of equal length | Front pair longer |

Signs of termites in a home
Termite treatment: how we treat it
- Inspection: the infested spots and the source of moisture are identified.
- Soil injection: holes at the base of walls inside and out, injected with termiticide to form a barrier around the home.
- Wood injection: infested doors, frames and wardrobes.
- Sealing the holes: with a filler matched to the floor.
- Follow-up: a check after some weeks to confirm activity has stopped.
| Case | Treatment | Starts from |
|---|---|---|
| Infestation in one spot | Local treatment | SAR 185 |
| Doors and frames | Door injection | SAR 46 per door |
| A whole home | Injection around the walls | After an inspection |
| Before building | Soil treatment before floors are poured | By the square metre, on request |
Treating termites at home: what works and what does not
| Method | Does it work? |
|---|---|
| Insect spray on the tubes | No: it kills what shows and leaves the colony |
| Kerosene and diesel | Not advised: a fire risk and a smell, with only a surface effect |
| Fixing leaks | Yes: moisture attracts them |
| Keeping wood and cardboard off floors and walls | Yes: it cuts off their food |
| Injection with a specialist termiticide | Yes, and it is the treatment |
Prevention and pre-construction treatment
- Before building: the soil under floors and around foundations is treated. It is the cheapest and longest-lasting option.
- Fix leaks and keep the area around the ground tank dry.
- No wood touching the soil in the garden or yard.
- Check doors and frames once a year by tapping.
- No cardboard boxes directly on storeroom floors.

Frequently asked questions
How much does termite control cost in Jeddah?
From SAR 185 for local treatment, and SAR 46 per door injected, with Bareeq Clean.
How do I know I have termites?
Pencil-thick mud tubes on walls, wood that sounds hollow when tapped, and clear shed wings near windows.
What is the difference between termites and ordinary ants?
Termites are pale with no waist and straight antennae, and are not seen in the open. Ordinary ants are dark with a narrow waist and bent antennae.
Can I treat termites at home myself?
Not adequately. Surface spraying kills what shows, while the colony in the soil remains. The treatment is injection.
How long is the termite guarantee?
5 to 10 years on soil injection.
Does injection damage the tiles?
Small holes are drilled at the wall base and sealed after injection with a filler matched to the tiles.
Should I treat before building?
Yes, treating the soil before the floors are poured is cheaper and surer than treating after you move in.
Do termites eat anything other than wood?
Anything containing cellulose: paper, cardboard, wallpaper and the paper face of gypsum board.
