Annual contracts in Jarwal, 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

Homes and businesses

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

Why they keep coming back in Jarwal

Old construction means buildings packed with gaps between them and parallel ageing pipe runs. Insects move easily between units through gaps and shared channels. The method is set out in full on what Annual contracts involves.

The first reason

Bir Tuwa well, Jabal Qaiqaan and surrounding apartment blocks

The historic Bir Tuwa well is surrounded by old apartment blocks. Water and ancient soil around the well create the humid environment insects thrive in. Jabal Qaiqaan provides natural shelters. Nearby buildings need close monitoring.

The second reason

Old budget hotels and extremely dense seasonal occupancy

Hotels in Jarwal are very old and very inexpensive. Pilgrims fill them at very high density, especially during Hajj and Umrah seasons. Occupancy approaches 100 percent and turnover is rapid.

The third reason

Very narrow passageways and complex historic streets

The old quarter means narrow twisted streets and blind corners. Passages between hotels and apartment blocks trap moisture. Routine inspection requires precise visits and readings in tight spaces.

The character of Jarwal

Apartment district: residential blocks, repeated floors and shared entrances

Seasonal housing in Jarwal means the contract does not serve one family but hundreds of seasonal pilgrims. Insects travel with each wave of visitors, and the annual contract provides continuous protection.

Before treatment

What sets the shape of the contract

Jarwal is bordered by Bir Tuwa well to the east and Jabal Qaiqaan to the south, with Al Taysir Street and Umm Al Qura Road connecting it to the central zone.

The goods-in door

Reception doors in Jarwal hotels are old and may be broken or lack air seals. Insects enter easily from the street. Monitoring points must be placed very close by.

Commercial waste containers beside a building

The waste area

Waste areas in hotels may be in dark corners because of narrow passages. Dampness from old walls and proximity to the well create ideal insect habitat.

A stainless floor gully in a commercial kitchen

Drains and grease traps

Drains and grease traps in old hotels may be defective or unmaintained. Any seal failure means rapid spread through the building.

Dry store and pallets

Dry storage in old hotels may be in very damp basements. Insects establish easily.

A monitoring station fixed along an exterior wall

Fixed, numbered points

Numbered monitoring points in Jarwal suffer wear and dampness. Materials must be moisture resistant.

An open file holding a visit log and a site plan

The file itself

Annual records must show the difference between hotels and which hotels have persistent problems. This helps assess the real condition of each property.

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.

What is different about Al Ghazza Sub-Municipality

Al Ghazza sub municipality wraps around the north and west of the Grand Mosque, from Al Shamiyah, Al Qararah and Shaib Amir round to Jarwal and Al Taysir. Large tracts were cleared for the northern expansion and the Rua Al Haram scheme, leaving excavated ground and open construction sites beside ageing blocks that now serve as dense seasonal lodgings in Jarwal and Al Taysir. Old flood paths still fall from Jabal Qaiqaan and Jabal Khandamah towards the mosque, and markets and eateries crowd Al Masjid Al Haram Road and Umm Al Qura Road.

Questions about this district

Can an old budget hotel in Jarwal be monitored under one annual contract?

Yes. But very old hotels may need closer visits and deeper inspection. Problems may be chronic in very old hotels.

Do rented flats in buildings near Bir Tuwa need special attention?

Yes. Moisture from the well and standing water attract specific insects. Monitoring points are placed near the well and around adjacent buildings.

Can insects in shared hallways be treated?

Monitoring and assessment is possible in hallways. Chemical treatment requires the passage to be cleared. Hallways may need separate treatment if problems are acute.

Does Jabal Qaiqaan mean insects come from the natural mountain?

Partly. The mountain provides natural shelter, but insects establish in buildings quickly. The contract focuses on preventing entry from the mountain.

Do neighbouring hotels need separate contracts?

Yes. Each hotel has its own contract. But shared hallways and foundations need monitoring at the district level.

Does the report explain whether insects came from the well or the hotel itself?

Yes. The report identifies insect sources, especially if they result from moisture, the well or conditions within the hotel itself.

How much does annual contracts in Jarwal 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 Jarwal.
