Ant control in Al Judairiyah Al Jadid Makkah

Al Judairiyah Al Jadid is a Crown Prince scheme close to Al Ukayshiyah in south Makkah, with Al Judairiyah Al Jadid Street as its spine and residential plots and new villas along it. The neighbourhood is very new, sitting between Al Souq Al Saghir Al Jadid and Al Hajlah Al Jadid, with Wadi Uranah crossing it and Jabal Al Raqid rising through its centre.

Why they keep coming back in Al Judairiyah Al Jadid

A new villa in Al Judairiyah Al Jadid may see ants within weeks of moving in because the surrounding ground is still under construction and foundations have not hardened. The method is set out in full on Ant control in detail.

The first reason

Newly raised fill releases ants and scorpions from below

The new scheme sits on recently raised and filled earth. This releases ants and scorpions from deep layers. The first two years after building the scheme sees much stronger ants than a completed neighbourhood. New foundations have not hardened so they offer easy passages.

The second reason

Jabal Al Raqid provides natural nest shelter

Jabal Al Raqid in the centre of the scheme offers natural shelter for ant and scorpion colonies. The hill holds moisture after rain and provides natural cracks. Ants may nest in the hill and enter nearby villas every day.

The third reason

Wadi Uranah brings fresh ants right after heavy rain

The wadi crossing the scheme carries flood water and organic matter. After every rain, new ants enter villas seeking dry shelter. You may need follow-up treatment quickly after heavy rainfall.

The character of Al Judairiyah Al Jadid

New development: ongoing construction and vacant plots between the homes

A very new development means construction is not finished and Jabal Al Raqid and Wadi Uranah are close. Ants do not wait for the scheme to complete before entering new villas from the natural habitat.

Before treatment

The species and the trail decide the bait

Wadi Uranah crosses the scheme and carries silt and flash floods immediately after rain. Newly raised ground, open excavations and ongoing construction provide easier ant habitat than any completed neighbourhood.

Small ants on spilled sugar across a pale surface

The sweet feeders

Sugar-seeking ants in Al Judairiyah Al Jadid are fewer initially but grow as shops and restaurants develop in the neighbourhood.

The grease and protein feeders

Grease and protein seekers are strong at first because damp ground and weak foundations provide ideal habitat.

A line of ants running along the base of a wall

The trail and its direction

The trail is multiple: from Jabal Al Raqid, from the wadi, and from vacant plots surrounding the villa.

Moisture before food

Moisture from Wadi Uranah and newly filled earth provides damp habitat year round.

Loose soil between the slabs of an outdoor path

The nest outside the building

The main nest lies in Jabal Al Raqid, in the wadi, or in deep layers of the filled ground.

Winged ants

Winged ants appear in certain seasons when moisture from the wadi and hill rises.

How we work

1
Inspect and follow the trail

We follow the line from where you see it to where it enters, and establish the species, what it is feeding on and the moisture keeping the nest close.
2
Matched bait placed on the trail

We choose the matrix from the feeding preference and place it on the trail itself, leaving the trail intact so the workers carry it to the queen and the brood.
3
Treat the perimeter and close the ways in

An external treatment at the wall base and the openings, and we point out the cracks, pipe entries and any branch touching the building.
4
The follow-up visit

We come back once the bait has worked through the nest, check the trail is gone, and look for a satellite nest if a new line has appeared.

What ant control includes

Following the trail to its source

Species, entry point and the direction of the nest, established before anything is applied.
Bait matched to the colony

Sugar or protein according to what the workers are carrying, placed on the trail rather than near it.
An external perimeter treatment

A band at the wall base and the outside openings, with the indoor trail left unsprayed so it keeps carrying bait.
Moisture points and entries

Condensate lines, sink surrounds, weep holes and pipe entries, which are what keeps a nest against the building.
Aftercare instructions

What not to wipe until the bait has been taken, what to cover, and when normal cleaning can resume.
A scheduled follow-up

A set date to check the nest and re-bait anywhere still active.

What is different about South Makkah Sub-Municipality

South Makkah sub municipality is the belt of Crown Prince schemes south of Al Ukayshiyah, along the Al Laith road and the extension of Ibrahim Al Khalil Road to the Fifth Ring Road and the Non Muslims bypass. Most of it is still bare: granted plots awaiting houses, new villas standing alone, open building sites and unfinished paving and drainage. Wadi Uranah and its tributaries cross the low ground and hold water after rain, hills close it in, and rodents, reptiles and scorpions shelter in stacked materials and foundation pits before the neighbourhoods fill up.

Questions about this district

Should a new villa in Al Judairiyah Al Jadid be treated before I move in?

Move in first, then treat after a few weeks. Treatment before you move fails because we cannot see the actual ant trails you will experience.

Does Jabal Al Raqid bring ants to nearby villas?

Yes, the hill offers natural shelter and ants migrate from it to neighbouring villas. A villa beside the hill may see stronger ants than a distant one.

Does Wadi Uranah bring fresh ants right after heavy rain?

Yes, the wadi carries ants, scorpions and insects. After heavy rain you may need quick follow-up treatment.

Do vacant plots surrounding my villa bring extra ants?

Yes, vacant land provides shelter and natural food. A villa surrounded by empty plots may see stronger ants.

Is treating my villa alone enough or must the whole scheme be treated?

Treating your villa, garden and walls is a good start. The neighbourhood is not finished yet so periodic treatment is necessary.

Does construction on neighbouring plots mean constant new ants?

Yes, building work releases ants and scorpions. You may need follow-up during heavy construction nearby.

How much does ant control in Al Judairiyah Al Jadid 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 Judairiyah Al Jadid.
