Why they keep coming back in Al Ajawid

Pigeons here are mixed: some perch on shops hunting food and some nest on villas seeking water and shelter. Both types may occupy the same spot at different times of day. The method is set out in full on Bird and pigeon control in detail.

The first reason

Shops with villas beside them

Pigeons come to the shop in daytime searching for scattered food, then sleep on an adjacent villa or a flat above another shop. Treating the shop alone does not stop it because the neighbouring villa provides safe shelter for the night.

The second reason

Gaps between mixed villas and blocks

Gaps and spaces between an older villa and a new apartment block next door give pigeons hidden routes and shelter that does not rise far from the ground. These spaces may be in the same neighbourhood but belong to different owners.

The third reason

Air conditioners on villas and blocks facing the park

Villas and blocks at the park edge have external air conditioners that drip water onto the park spaces, and pigeons drink from collected water and nest easily in the safe gaps nearby.

The character of Al Ajawid

Mixed district: shops at street level with homes above them

A mixed district means pigeons find food from shops, water from air conditioners and shelter on villas and flats in the same spot, so treatment needs to cover multiple different points in the same neighbourhood instead of a single location.

Before treatment

The building decides which deterrent works

A quiet middle-class neighbourhood blending commercial shops, villas and apartment blocks on slightly raised ground, with many schools, green spaces, a mosque and a park, and Al Ajawid Street as its spine.

Ledge width

The ledge between the villa and the neighbouring block may be at different heights, so we use flexible deterrents that fit the gap between them.

Air conditioning platforms

Air conditioner platforms on villas and blocks differ in size and position, so we cover each one according to its placement and water drip rate.

The nest itself

Nests on Al Ajawid villas are usually on large roofs not in cracks, so removal is easier but droppings cleanup needs care.

The droppings pattern

Droppings collect at gaps between buildings and around air conditioner ledges, so we remove them and treat the surfaces.

Openings and shafts

Gaps between villas and blocks provide pigeons with unobstructed routes, so we fit deterrents on ledges from both sides at once.

Water tanks on villas and blocks may be exposed to birds, so we fit them with safe metal covers.

How we work

1
Survey the roof and the facade

We walk the roof, the projections, the condenser platforms and the shafts, separate the nesting positions from the perching ones, and measure and photograph every ledge.
2
Strip the nests and treat the parasites

Droppings are wetted before they are lifted so nothing goes airborne dry, bagged closed, and the nest position is treated for ticks and mites before the surface is sanitised.
3
Close and fit

Netting tensioned on a perimeter wire with no gap at the corners, spikes or wire on the narrow projections, metal mesh across vents and shafts, and the roof drains freed of the nest material packing them.
4
The follow-up visit

We come back to check the tension, the corners and any position the flock has moved to, and correct what has slackened before a bird finds it.

What bird and pigeon control includes

A recorded survey

Every ledge, condenser platform and shaft, photographed, with nesting separated from perching before anything is chosen.
Nest removal and drain clearing

Lifted wet rather than swept dry, bagged closed, and the roof drains freed of the nest material packing them.
Parasite treatment and sanitising

The nest position treated for ticks and mites, then the surface the droppings sat on sanitised.
Sealing and fitting the deterrents

Netting tensioned on a perimeter wire, spikes or wire on narrow projections, and metal mesh across ventilation openings.
Aftercare instructions

The condensate water, food left on the roof, and what should not sit beside a ledge if the attraction is to stay gone.
A follow-up on tension and corners

Netting slackens and corners open over time; the visit corrects that and closes any new position.

Landmarks of Al Ajawid

The neighbourhood clusters around Al Salihin Mosque, Al Ajawid Park and Hyper Panda where most shops and villas meet, and is easily reached via Al Ajawid Street. We work from key points around the mosque and park where ledges and gaps spread across shops and villas.

Questions about this district

The shop next to my villa is closed but pigeons perch on it and sometimes enter my courtyard.

Both together. The shop attracts the pigeon and the villa provides shelter. We treat the shop edges, the villa edges and the gap between them all at once to cut off all its routes.

The villa next to mine is under construction and pigeons are nesting on its roof. Will they move to my villa when it is finished?

They may move if the opportunity remains. We fit temporary deterrents on the building under construction while it is being built, which also affects your villa.

My air conditioners drip water into the garden and every morning I see a pigeon drinking from the puddle.

We fit deterrents around the drip area that guide the bird away from the safe gap. Stopping the drip may affect air conditioner efficiency.

Is treating individual villas enough if the surrounding villas are not treated?

In a mixed district like Al Ajawid treating a single villa may be enough if nearby villas are far apart, but if they are very close coordination is needed.

Pigeons nest on the villa and also on the neighbouring apartment block. Do we treat the block and villa the same way?

No. The ledges are different and the heights vary. The villa has large roofs and the block has multiple narrow edges. Each needs deterrents that fit its shape.

Does Al Ajawid Park beside the house supply pigeons with food?

Yes, fallen seeds and scraps from trees and grass provide constant food. But the park itself is not treated. We focus on treating the roof and ledges at your house.

How much does bird and pigeon control in Al Ajawid 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 Ajawid.
