Why they keep coming back in Al Fayha

Ongoing construction and development leaves bare ground between new buildings, creating open spaces that attract pigeons and birds before the neighbourhood becomes fully populated and built up. The method is set out in full on Bird and pigeon control in detail.

The first reason

Construction ongoing and new roofs are completely clean

New villas and apartment blocks leave their roofs pristine and free of any deterrents or previous disturbance. Pigeons choose new roofs in emerging neighbourhoods because they offer safe nesting space away from crowded and busy established districts.

The second reason

Vacant plots and wide open spaces between buildings

The district is still incomplete and residential plots are far apart with vast empty land between them. This gives pigeons fast escape routes and roof access from several directions without the barriers that surround houses in old, densely built neighbourhoods.

The third reason

Parks and irrigated green spaces and the Al Fayha walkway

Al Fayha Park and the Al Fayha walkway with irrigated lawns offer shelter and food for pigeons at no cost to them. Pigeons feed in the gardens and then fly straight to the very close roofs to nest.

The character of Al Fayha

New development: ongoing construction and vacant plots between the homes

In a new development like Al Fayha, pigeons see fresh roofs as a golden opportunity before the neighbourhood fills up, so fitting deterrents now prevents early nesting that will become much harder to remove later.

Before treatment

The building decides which deterrent works

A newly planned expansion area on the new Al Fayha Road between As Salamah, Al Hamra and Al Buhayrat, wide vacant plots and new schemes, where the northern Haram boundary crosses Umm Al Mumineen Road, with parks, a walkway, mosque and schools.

Ledge width

New villa ledges in Al Fayha are low and very easy to land on, and balconies and gaps under new buildings offer natural fixing points for spikes and barrier systems.

Outdoor condenser units on a building roof

Air conditioning platforms

New villa air conditioning units sit on fresh concrete bases without cracks, but gaps between the unit and the wall and between cooling units provide safe shelter for nesting.

The nest itself

Nests in Al Fayha are light and few because pigeons have only recently arrived, but early nests attract new migrations quickly if they are not removed at once.

Bird droppings marking an exterior concrete wall

The droppings pattern

Droppings from early nests fall on new window sills and balconies with no existing protection, so they pile up fast and cause damp and small pest problems.

Openings and shafts

Modern buildings have good ventilation sealing but vent openings and roof shafts remain entry points for pigeons from the roof directly into internal spaces.

Around the roof tank

New water tanks are high quality but their surroundings are completely empty and easy to nest in before protection and barrier systems are installed.

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 Al Umrah Sub-Municipality

Al Umrah sub municipality covers the north west of Makkah along the Madinah road and the old Jeddah road, from At Tanim and Masjid Aisha to An Nawwariyah. Its districts are the city's newest, villas and apartment blocks raised on wide schemes where large tracts in Al Umrah Al Jadidah, Al Fayha and Al Buhayrat remain vacant or under construction. Wadi Saraf and Wadi At Tanim run through it and rainwater gathers on unfinished schemes, ihram shops, restaurants and coach stops along the Madinah road serve a constant flow of pilgrims, and villas fill Al Hamra and Umm Al Jud.

Questions about this district

The scheme is brand new with very few residents and pristine roofs. Why nest here?

Clean, new roofs attract pigeons more than old roofs with deterrents in place. The new neighbourhood close to gardens and the Haram offers an ideal nesting environment.

The neighbourhood is still developing and hundreds more villas will be built soon. Will pigeons increase?

Yes, as the neighbourhood fills with residents and building the pigeon numbers will rise because spaces shrink and roofs multiply. Fit deterrents now before the neighbourhood fills.

Al Fayha Park and the walkway have trees. Does this attract pigeons to the roofs?

Yes, trees and irrigated lawns offer shelter and food for pigeons. But pigeons move from gardens to very close roofs to nest, so the garden is a transfer point not the final destination.

Building continues and there is noise every day. Does this scare pigeons from nesting?

No, construction noise is limited to set hours and stops at night. Pigeons adapt to regular noise patterns and will nest even in active building sites.

The northern Haram boundary passes through the district. Does this reduce pigeons?

The Haram boundary does not affect pigeon numbers in the adjacent area. Pigeons come from distant districts and settle on new roofs seeking safe nesting space.

Once building finishes and streets and drainage are complete, will pigeons decrease after a year?

Possibly, but waiting a full year means letting pigeons nest and multiply. It is better to treat the roofs now and manage the problem from the start.

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