Bird and pigeon control in Al Hamdaniyah Jeddah
Al Hamdaniyah is a mixed district where shops stand at street level and occupied flats sit directly above them. Pigeons enter the open shops through the facade and climb into the homes via ventilation gaps and wiring, requiring coordinated treatment of both levels to succeed. The shops cannot be treated in isolation from the flats above.

Why they keep coming back in Al Hamdaniyah
In open shops, pigeons enter with customers in early morning and hide in upper corners until dusk, which complicates the timing of work and requires the shop to close during treatment. The method is set out in full on the full Bird and pigeon control page.
Open shops beneath occupied residential flats
The shop needs less downtime than the flat above it, and pigeons enter the shop during business hours with ease. We fit deterrents to the shop ledge that protect the upper openings without disrupting the shop facade, whilst also sealing the path from shop to flat above.
Engineering treatment across two separate ownerships
Treating the shop alone may push pigeons upward to the flat; treating the flat alone leaves the shop as a refuge. We separate the shop work from the flat work according to consent and ownership, then leave the choice of the combined approach to the owners themselves.
Al Haramain Road and the traffic overhead
Traffic on Al Haramain Road beside the district brings mobile pigeons that perch on wires and road signs. Deterrents fitted to the shop ledge may need modification if pigeons step onto railings or pipes close to the busy road.
The character of Al Hamdaniyah
Mixed district: shops at street level with homes above them
In a mixed district like this, shop owners and flat residents often have different schedules and do not agree easily. We balance the shop's daytime opening hours against the residents' night-time rest, and offer each a solution that respects their different needs.
The building decides which deterrent works
Al Hamdaniyah Street and Al Masurah Street carry dense commercial traffic all day. Large shops on these roads stay open continuously and draw the mobile pigeon easily through their doors and vents.
Ledge width
The shop ledge at the front is narrow and may need lightweight railings only, while the flat ledge above it is broader and can hold heavier deterrents securely.
Air conditioning platforms
Old commercial air conditioning units on the facade have gaps and serve as pigeon perches and turning points before the bird climbs higher to nest.
The nest itself
Nests inside the shop cluster near electrical boxes in corners because the pigeon seeks dark quiet places away from the traffic below and the open door.
The droppings pattern
Droppings from the shop fall on stock and tills; droppings from the flat fall onto the window ledge and the narrow balcony beside it.
Openings and shafts
Ventilation openings between the two floors near the internal stairwell form the pigeon's main route from shop to flat, and these need sealing with fine mesh.
Around the roof tank
The shared water tank on the communal roof above the flat offers the pigeon an alternative nesting site if the roof is open and sits close to the ledge.
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.

Questions about this district
My open shop gets pigeons every day entering through the door and vents.
Treat both shop and flat if you own both. We assess the shop front ledge, the upper windows and the gaps between floors. If you own the shop only, we fit a deterrent that seals the upper openings against the pigeon climbing into the flat.
The flat owner above refuses disruption and won't coordinate with me.
Pigeons may roost in the shop for weeks before nesting permanently. Treating the shop reduces their numbers significantly, but the flat openings remain vulnerable if left untreated.
Al Haramain Road next to us is constantly congested; is fitting safe on the shop ledge?
Fitting is completely safe. Pigeons perch on wires and signs on Al Haramain, but ledge deterrents are not affected by traffic. We may need extra protection on air conditioner pipes facing the busy road.
Pigeons roost on the shop air conditioner then enter the flat through a nearby vent.
We mesh the flat air conditioner vents on the inner side. On the shop unit itself we fit spikes or mesh if space allows without blocking cooling, then seal any direct path into the flat above.
Will treatment of the shop affect merchandise or harm my customers in any way?
Fitting occurs only on the ledges and upper openings and requires no spraying or chemicals. Pigeons carry waste that falls onto goods; removing them improves cleanliness directly.
A big hypermarket beside us draws constant crowds. Do pigeons come from there or the street?
Both. The hypermarket is open and draws large flocks, and the mobile pigeon sees your shop as a nearer refuge. Treating your shop cuts off that route if he spots it as an easy perch.
How much does bird and pigeon control in Al Hamdaniyah 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 Hamdaniyah.
