Why they keep coming back in Al Falah

Open construction sites and vacant plots surrounding Al Falah offer temporary shelter for birds, which move from excavation to newly built position before construction is finished. The method is set out in full on the full Bird and pigeon control page.

The first reason

Active building sites and vacant land everywhere

Al Falah is ringed by excavations and ongoing construction, and vacant plots give birds and rodents temporary shelter. Birds use these sites as launchpads to the residential buildings. Once construction finishes in one position, the pigeon does not search far but shifts to the next nearly completed site nearby.

The second reason

Rest houses, camps and stables on the perimeter

Rest houses, camps and stables on the edges of Al Falah provide food and water for birds and rodents. Food waste and standing water attract large numbers. Birds become accustomed to the easy access and water source, then gradually move inward toward the residential buildings seeking shelter and safety.

The third reason

Proximity to the sports city and irrigated parkland

King Abdullah Sports City and Al Falah Park supply irrigated green spaces that hold water and grass. Pigeons sense water and plant cover and arrive in larger numbers. The distance from the park to residential roofs is short, so the bird finds its way easily.

Landmarks of Al Falah

Work in Al Falah spreads across main streets and villas and apartment blocks, and the nearest landmarks are King Abdullah Sports City which defines the western boundary and Al Falah Park which supplies irrigated green space that draws pigeons throughout the district.

Before treatment

The building decides which deterrent works

A new inland district on dry ground away from the sea, scattered with excavations and construction debris that leave vacant plots everywhere, while rest houses, camps and stables on the edges draw flies, crawling insects and rodents.

A narrow concrete projection on a building facade

Ledge width

Ledges on new villas and apartment blocks are relatively uniform because construction is recent, but differences between villas and apartment buildings are substantial.

Outdoor condenser units on a building roof

Air conditioning platforms

Air conditioning platforms on modern buildings are standardised, with mounts often elevated and uniform.

A twig nest sitting on a building projection

The nest itself

Nests in the new district are fewer than in old quarters because the housing is new, but strong foundations may support heavy nests.

Bird droppings marking an exterior concrete wall

The droppings pattern

Droppings are lighter because cleanliness is better in a new district, but around construction sites waste accumulates heavily.

Openings and shafts

Openings in new buildings are limited, but windows and balconies may serve as entry points.

Around the roof tank

New roof tanks are better covered by design, but the surrounding area remains a bird's choice for perching.

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

Does continuous construction make pigeons more mobile between locations here?

Yes, pigeons move constantly seeking a stable safe position. A newly built district means new positions the pigeon discovers daily. The deterrent must go on the fastest before the pigeon settles it.

Are the vacant plots around Al Falah also breeding ground for rodents?

Yes, rodents use the vacant plots and excavations as shelter. Rodents and birds may share the same position. Thorough cleaning of the treated position is essential.

What difference is there between villa roofs and commercial apartment blocks for pigeon activity?

Villas have separate roofs and private gardens. Apartments have shared roofs. Pigeons cluster more heavily on shared roofs. Villas may need deterrents on garden areas too.

Does water dripping from air conditioning units attract birds here?

Very much. Slow dripping water and wet surfaces attract birds and insects. In an arid district like Al Falah, wet water around air units provides a rare resource.

Could building site waste and debris be attracting pigeons to the area?

Yes, food waste and rubbish from construction sites supplies food. Workers eat and discard, and pigeons learn the rhythm. Cleaning building sites and their surroundings helps reduce pressure.

How often should deterrents be inspected in Al Falah given wind and dust conditions?

At least every three months. Dust may deposit on the deterrent and wind may loosen it. Regular inspection keeps the deterrent working reliably.

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