Bird and pigeon control in Al Faisaliyah Jeddah
Al Faisaliyah is an older northern Jeddah district filled with dense apartment blocks and villas scattered between them. Pigeons nest on the narrow rooftops of closely packed apartment blocks, and ageing water and sewer lines provide extra shelter for them. The work here differs from new areas because the building stock is old and the blocks press close together.

Why they keep coming back in Al Faisaliyah
High residential density, ageing networks and dense restaurants and shops on Sari Street provide pigeons with food, shelter and water through the entire year. The method is set out in full on Bird and pigeon control in detail.
Tightly packed apartment blocks offer easy roof to roof jumps
Old Faisaliyah apartment blocks stand very close to one another, and pigeons hop between rooftops with ease. A deterrent on one building alone is not enough if neighbouring buildings lack protection. We need coordination across several buildings for a real solution.
Restaurants and shops feed them constantly
Sari Street is lined with restaurants, banks and popular markets, leaving scraps and waste everywhere. Pigeons feed on this food then fly to the roof. Cutting food at source from the shops is harder than protecting the roof alone.
Ageing pipes and gaps offer secret routes inside
Old pipework and gaps between buildings give pigeons hidden entry and exit routes. Removing nests from inside needs knowledge of the old building layout, and sometimes requires careful sealing of pipes that are still in use.
Al Faisaliyah on the map
Al Faisaliyah sits about 3 km from Al Rabwah and about 3 km from Al Bawadi.

An older central northern district with dense apartment blocks and villas, crossed by King Fahd Road and bounded by Prince Majid Road and Madinah Road.
Ledge width
Ledges on very old apartment blocks are uneven with small cracks, and the deterrent must be fitted to match the exact ledge profile.
Air conditioning platforms
Old apartment air conditioning units sit in tight spaces crowded with pipes and wires, and pigeons perch on anything available.
The nest itself
Old nests in old blocks are densely packed with parasites, and removal requires careful handling.
The droppings pattern
Droppings have accumulated over years on some rooftops, and cleaning is a core part of the solution.
Openings and shafts
Openings, shafts and pipes are mostly sealed but contain small historic gaps, and pigeons enter through them.
Around the roof tank
Old roof tanks may lack tight covers, and pigeons can stand on them directly and contaminate 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.
-

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 Airport Sub-Municipality
The Airport sub-municipality covers some of the oldest established districts of northern Jeddah, gathered around King Abdulaziz International Airport between Madinah Road, King Fahd Road and Prince Majid Road. The stock is villas, single family houses and apartment blocks built decades ago, many served by ageing water and sewer lines. Commercial streets such as Quraish, Sari and Sultan bin Salman are lined with restaurants, furnished flats and popular markets. Dense commercial kitchens, worn pipework and the gaps in older buildings give cockroaches and rodents steady food and shelter, and the high resident population keeps that pressure constant through the year.
Questions about this district
These buildings are very old. Is it safe to fit deterrents on crumbling concrete?
Yes, it is safe. We choose fixings suited to old concrete quality. Pre installation inspection of the base is essential, and we advise strengthening the base before fitting if needed.
Pigeons enter through pipes and gaps. How do you block them?
We remove the nest first, then seal gaps and open pipes with mesh and metal caps. Some old gaps are hard to seal without weakening the structure, so we use solutions that balance safety and closure.
Sari Street is very busy. How do you work in the middle of all that traffic?
We schedule work at set times: early morning before shops open, or after closing. We coordinate with building management and shop owners to agree on the best time.
Ground floor and upper flats are occupied. How do you work without upsetting residents?
We fit deterrents early in the morning before residents wake. Nests are removed gently and quietly where possible. We coordinate with residents through building management.
Will pigeons go to the next building if we fit deterrents on just one block?
They might move to a neighbouring building instead. The best solution is to fit all nearby buildings together. If every rooftop is protected, there is no place for pigeons to land.
The hospital and university are right beside us. Does the work disturb them?
Roof work does not disturb their visitors. We fit the deterrent precisely and quietly, and visitors usually notice nothing. The benefit is that patients and students are not exposed to pigeon droppings.
How much does bird and pigeon control in Al Faisaliyah 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 Faisaliyah.
