Annual contracts in Al Hajlah, Makkah

Targeted, not broadcast

Told before we start

What we will use, where it goes, and what to cover or move before we arrive.
A follow-up visit

We return after the first treatment, because what survives it does not show on the day.
Homes and businesses

Apartments and villas, and kitchens and stores that need a record of each visit.

Why they keep coming back in Al Hajlah

Pilgrims and guests flow into and out of hotels in large numbers every day, moving insects between buildings faster than happens in most other Makkah quarters, carried in luggage and on clothing and in hair. The method is set out in full on our Annual contracts service.

The first reason

Hotels pressed together with tight passages between

Hotels and apartment blocks along Ibrahim Al Khalil Street stand directly adjacent and climb vertically between the surrounding hills. The tight passages between them are natural highways for insects to move from one hotel to the next, so the annual contract must monitor every internal boundary.

The second reason

Continuous flow of pilgrims and guests

Millions of pilgrims enter hotels and depart them year round, and each new wave may carry insects in luggage and clothing. The annual contract must monitor at all hotel entry points, not just inside, because the scale of arrival makes checking individual guests impossible.

The third reason

Mixed-use hotels and apartment buildings

Some hotels sit next to apartment buildings housing permanent or seasonal residents, and insects do not distinguish between hotel use and residential use. A single contract must encompass every building regardless of occupancy type.

Before treatment

What sets the shape of the contract

Ibrahim Al Khalil Street itself is very narrow and rises from the southern edge towards the mosque courtyards, and the hotels and blocks on either side form natural vertical passages that help insects move up and down rapidly between floors.

The goods-in door

The goods-in doors at hotels on Ibrahim Al Khalil Street see continuous traffic; the numbered point there monitors insects arriving in luggage, linen, clothing and daily deliveries.

Commercial waste containers beside a building

The waste area

Waste areas in Al Hajlah are scattered between hotels and blocks and very cramped; the annual contract places monitoring points in every waste collection point because insects gather there before climbing higher.

Drains and grease traps

Drains run through tight channels between buildings and through shared walls, and monitoring points detect insect movement along these pathways before insects reach guest rooms and flats.

Dry store and pallets

Dry stores in hotels and apartment blocks are very small and tightly packed, and numbered points inside watch for insects hiding among boxes and shelving in very confined spaces.

A monitoring station fixed along an exterior wall

Fixed, numbered points

Numbered points are positioned at hotel and building entrances, in tight passages, stairwells and dry stores, each carrying a unique number recorded during every visit.

An open file holding a visit log and a site plan

The file itself

The contract file holds a map of adjoining hotels and blocks, all numbered point positions, passages and the shared stairwell, and the document updates immediately whenever management or occupancy changes.

How we work

1
Survey and risk assessment

We walk the building from the goods-in door through preparation, stores and washrooms, and record the species pressure, the entry routes, the moisture and which areas carry which level of risk.
2
The plan, the map and the frequency

We number the monitoring positions on a plan of the site, agree the visit frequency from what each area handles and how open the building is, and agree who receives and signs the report.
3
The scheduled visits

Every visit reads the same route, point by point, records the reading even when it is nil, and treats the area the reading calls for rather than the whole building.
4
Review and reading the trend

We read the visits together rather than one at a time: where the readings climbed, which corrective actions are still open, and whether an area needs more points or closer visits.

What the annual contract includes

Opening survey and site plan

A walk that fixes the risk areas and the entry routes, and a plan with the monitoring positions numbered before anything is installed.
Numbered monitoring points

Fixed positions on a set route, opened, read and logged every visit, and replaced when damaged.
Targeted treatment when called for

On the cracks, junctions and service areas the reading points to, and outside operating hours where that is needed.
Drains and waste areas

Floor gullies, grease traps and the ground around the containers on every visit, because that is the source that renews itself.
Report and corrective actions

After every visit: what was found, what was applied and where, and what the site needs to fix, such as a door gap or a missing drain cover.
Scheduled visits and visits in between

A schedule agreed in the contract, plus a visit when activity appears between two dates, logged like any other.

Landmarks of Al Hajlah

The annual contract in Al Hajlah begins at the southern entrance to Ibrahim Al Khalil Street, where it passes near Al Misfalah, and extends upward through the narrow street to the hotels and flats on both sides as they approach the Grand Mosque.

Questions about this district

Do hotels that stand directly adjacent need separate contracts?

No, one unified contract is better because insects move through shared walls, buried channels and the tight passages between them. Unified monitoring places numbered points across all boundaries between buildings.

Do pilgrim arrivals bring insects with them each Hajj and Umrah season?

Yes, especially from warm and humid regions, and insects can travel in clothing, luggage, or even hair and shoes. Continuous monitoring and numbered points at all entrances are essential throughout the year.

Do residential apartment buildings adjoining hotels affect the annual contract's success?

Yes, because insects move easily between hotel and flat through shared walls and drains. The contract must cover both together with unified numbered monitoring points across all shared boundaries.

Can the annual contract be reduced during quiet seasons between pilgrim waves?

Visit frequency can drop during slower periods, but monitoring points stay installed and observation continues, because insects do not vanish between seasons; they hide inside walls, in drains and in ceiling voids waiting for favourable conditions.

Does the monthly report show which hotel or building has the worst infestation?

The report records what was found at each numbered point by its code and location. If one hotel shows high activity at its numbered points, that building needs additional attention and targeted treatment.

Can special treatments target the shared passages and central stairwell?

Yes, shared hallways and stairwells between hotels and apartments are fast highways for insects. The annual contract can add targeted treatments at these boundaries with dedicated numbered points in each passage.

How much does annual contracts in Al Hajlah cost?

It is set after the inspection, because the price follows the type of infestation, the size of the space, how far it has spread and the number of visits it needs. Send a photo and a description on WhatsApp and we will give you an estimate before we reach Al Hajlah.
