Why they keep coming back in Al Bashair

Active building work and vacant plots scattered between new buildings create ideal conditions for rapid insect and rodent breeding, and pigeons move in to hunt these prey and nest on new roofs in the vicinity. The method is set out in full on our Bird and pigeon control service.

The first reason

Ongoing construction and vacant land between new buildings

Al Bashair remains a district under construction with many vacant plots between newly completed homes, ongoing foundation work and digging stir rodents and insects from the soil, and pigeons target the neighbourhood to hunt these prey, nesting on roofs of new villas and apartments right beside the active construction sites.

The second reason

Rest houses, camps and stables at the periphery

Rest houses, camps and stables at the southern edge of the district attract flies and crawling insects in large numbers because of exposed animals and open food storage, and pigeons move from these sources toward the roofs of new villas and apartment buildings nearby.

The third reason

Dry inland ground and constant dust in the air

Al Bashair sits inland far from the sea, is dry and dusty, and dust and heat increase seasonal insect populations. New buildings and clean roofs offer birds safe shelter away from dust and ground heat where they can roost and nest while feeding on abundant prey.

Landmarks of Al Bashair

In Al Bashair, buildings are accessed from Asfan Ring Road and Al Furusiyah Road, and new buildings surrounded by dusty uncovered ground need swift treatment before construction finishes completely, or bird numbers will rise as emerging insects and cover increase.

Before treatment

The building decides which deterrent works

Al Bashair is a new development north of Jeddah on Asfan Ring Road, with recently built villas and apartment blocks, rest houses and schemes still under construction. Al Furusiyah Road runs east and Taybah lies west, with vacant plots dotting the neighbourhood.

Ledge width

The roof edges of new villas and buildings in Al Bashair are clean and level but sit surrounded by vacant plots, the deterrent must cover the full ledge and all gaps around each air conditioning unit.

Outdoor condenser units on a building roof

Air conditioning platforms

Modern air conditioning units in Al Bashair are numerous and their gaps offer birds safe shelter, so the deterrent must completely seal these voids.

The nest itself

Nests in Al Bashair are fresh and few if treated early, but delay in installation allows numbers to grow very quickly as construction work continues.

The droppings pattern

Droppings from nests fall onto vacant land and surrounding gardens, cleanup is difficult because the ground is unstable and still under development.

Openings and shafts

Openings and ventilation in new villas are relatively well sealed but gaps between villas and around modern structures offer alternative entry routes for birds to reach the building.

Around the roof tank

Modern water tanks in Al Bashair are usually closed but old piping and temporary site installations may leave gaps, so the deterrent must seal these gaps completely to be effective.

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 Taybah Sub-Municipality

Taybah sub municipality covers the newly built districts of north east Jeddah along Al Haramain Road and Asfan Road. New villas and apartment buildings stand among vacant plots, building sites and half finished subdivisions. Al Hamdaniyah is the oldest and densest part with its markets and shops, while Al Furusiyah, Al Bashair, Al Rahmaniyah, Al Falah and Al Salihiyah are mostly recent. The ground is inland and away from the sea, dry and dusty, rest houses, camps and stables on the fringes draw flies and crawling insects, and constant digging and construction stirs rodents out of the empty plots.

Questions about this district

The neighbourhood is still under construction and very dusty. How does this affect birds?

Dust and excavation attract insects and rodents, pigeons come to hunt these prey and nest on new villa and building roofs looking for food sources, water and safe shelter away from dust and heat.

Construction beside our house goes on all year. When should we have a deterrent fitted?

We fit the deterrent as soon as the house is complete and the roof and surrounding gaps are accessible. Waiting allows more birds to settle and nest, and after full construction finishes the soil will stabilise, insects will increase further, and pigeons will remain or increase in numbers.

Rest houses and stables nearby draw pigeons. Will a deterrent protect our house from them?

Yes, the deterrent prevents pigeons from landing and nesting on your roof edges even though food sources surround the building, but we recommend not leaving water uncovered or feeding birds on your roof or balcony.

Will crawling insects and rodents from vacant plots enter the house because of the open land nearby?

Vacant plots and ongoing construction do attract rodents and insects, but that is a separate issue from pigeons. We fit the deterrent on your roof and seal external gaps from birds, and we recommend you seal all small gaps and cracks in the foundation and walls against rodents and insects.

Our villa is very new and surrounding construction may finish next year. Will pigeon numbers increase?

Yes, once construction stops the excavation and dust will settle but soil will recover and plants will establish, insects will increase and birds will remain or grow in number. The deterrent must be permanent as birds will adapt to the developing landscape.

How much does fitting a deterrent cost on a new villa in Al Bashair?

Cost depends on ledge length, the number of tanks and gaps to cover. We offer a free survey and then provide a detailed quote based on your building's actual needs.

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