Bird and pigeon control in Al Basatin, Jeddah

Targeted, not broadcast

Product goes into cracks and runways, never sprayed across open surfaces.

A follow-up visit

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

Why they keep coming back in Al Basatin

Chalets and rest houses along the creek close for long periods in summer, which allows insects and pigeons to settle undisturbed without the owners noticing. The method is set out in full on Bird and pigeon control in detail.

The first reason

High sea humidity and constantly damp roof surfaces

Sea moisture and salt air keep roofs and ledges damp year round. Timber rots and concrete erodes, leaving deep cracks that pigeons readily inhabit.

The second reason

Irrigated gardens with dense planting

Each villa has an irrigated garden with advanced watering systems, and the plants supply food, water and shade for pigeons. Irrigation runs all year, making the garden permanently attractive.

The third reason

Chalets and rest houses seasonally abandoned

Rest houses and chalets along the creek close for months in summer. Pigeons and insects settle in these empty places undisturbed, creating serious problems when the owners return.

Landmarks of Al Basatin

Work in Al Basatin is coordinated along King Abdulaziz Road which cuts through the district north to south, and Al Basatin Street which links the villas to the commercial axes; we organise treatment according to each villa's distance from the beach and creek.

Before treatment

The building decides which deterrent works

Sea humidity keeps timber and render damp most of the year, and the irrigated gardens with their lawns provide constant food and fresh water for pigeons.

A narrow concrete projection on a building facade

Ledge width

Broad ledges on coastal villas stay damp from sea humidity, making cracks deeper and easier to nest in.

Outdoor condenser units on a building roof

Air conditioning platforms

Air conditioning unit bases on the roofs are exposed to salt and moisture, and rust leaves gaps around the units where pigeons nest.

The nest itself

Nests may be on ledges or in gaps between roofs and walls on the garden side.

Bird droppings marking an exterior concrete wall

The droppings pattern

Garden and plant debris accumulates on the roofs, and pigeons feed on it easily.

Openings and shafts

The villa has many ventilation openings to gardens, giving pigeons multiple ways to enter inside.

Around the roof tank

Roof water tanks sit fully exposed and pigeons roost on them and spread parasites through the water.

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.

What is different about Obhur Sub-Municipality

Obhur sub-municipality runs along Jeddah's northern shoreline from Al Shati up to Obhur Creek. It mixes large villas and gated compounds with busy commercial spines of restaurants, cafes, markets and hotels. Sea humidity is high for most of the year and salt laden breezes keep timber and render damp, while irrigated gardens and lawns surround the corniche and the villa plots. Standing irrigation water, dense planting and food waste from the hospitality strip suit cockroaches, mosquitoes and ants, and the chalets and rest houses scattered along the creek stand empty for long spells, which lets insects and rodents settle undisturbed.

Questions about this district

Does salt air and moisture affect how well the deterrents work?

Yes significantly. Salt rusts metals quickly and moisture weakens adhesives. We use rust resistant materials like plastic spikes and mesh treated with protective layers.

A chalet closes for months in summer, will the pigeon problem disappear?

Unfortunately no. A closed chalet becomes a safe refuge for pigeons and insects. We recommend treating the chalet before closure and fitting barriers to all openings.

Garden plants provide food for pigeons; should we remove them?

No, the garden is part of the villa. We focus on protecting the roof and ledges instead, because pigeons nest above the villa, not in the garden itself.

Salt air affects the deterrents; do they need continuous maintenance?

Yes. Salt resistant materials last longer, but annual inspection is very important in coastal zones. Salt accumulates slowly on even treated surfaces.

The villa has many openings; do they all need protection?

Main roof and ledge openings yes. But small ventilation holes may not need barriers if they are very small. We recommend a full survey first.

Both pigeons and sea birds arrive; is the treatment the same for both?

Sea birds need harsher treatment. We use longer spikes and additional barriers for larger birds. Unified treatment protects against both types.

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