Bird and pigeon control in Al Jamiah Jeddah

Al Jamiah is an established district north of Old Makkah Road, with apartment blocks and shops stacked around Al Jamiah Roundabout near Andalusia Hospital. The district nests on itself: buildings sit shoulder to shoulder, roofs are level and shared, entrances are common and neighbours' windows are very close. Pigeons move between units as if they occupy one flat. Treating one flat leaves your neighbour sending birds to you, and the street itself needs a single unified approach, not ten separate ones.

Why they keep coming back in Al Jamiah

Residents in Al Jamiah report that pigeons come in waves from the roundabout and from shops and restaurants, on a schedule: heavier after breakfast, lunch and dinner when street rubbish piles up. The method is set out in full on the full Bird and pigeon control page.

The first reason

Al Jamiah Roundabout gathers birds from every direction

The roundabout is open with trees and water from irrigation fountains, and pigeons gather there in large flocks before dispersing to surrounding blocks. Treating pigeons in Al Jamiah must begin at the roundabout itself, not only at building ledges.

The second reason

Shops and restaurants supply food every minute of the day

Markets and eateries open directly onto the street and scraps pile up outside doors. Pigeons feed all day and never stop appearing. There is no quiet period in Al Jamiah without birds.

The third reason

Tightly packed buildings let pigeons move freely between them

Blocks sit side by side, roofs are level and gaps are narrow. Pigeons cross from building to building without dropping to the street. Treating one block leaves your neighbour's block sending pigeons to you easily.

The character of Al Jamiah

Apartment district: residential blocks, repeated floors and shared entrances

Apartments mean responsibility is shared: pigeons move from neighbour to neighbour along the street. Treating your flat alone may fail if your neighbour does not act too. Coordinated treatment across the district works better than individual flats working alone.

Before treatment

The building decides which deterrent works

An old district north of Old Makkah Road. Tightly packed apartment blocks with shops, restaurants and small markets busiest around Al Jamiah Roundabout and Andalusia Hospital where Abdullah Sulaiman Street meets Al Jamiah Road, with Stadium Road on the eastern edge.

Ledge width

Ledges in Al Jamiah are uniform because old apartment buildings followed standard designs, but they are affected by moisture from shops and restaurants operating below.

Air conditioning platforms

Air conditioning outlets on building roofs supply water and bird access from above.

The nest itself

Nests here sit on ledges of apartment fronts, shared balconies and gaps between units, not on open roofs.

Droppings accumulate rapidly on lower floor windows because the district is crowded.

Openings and shafts

Ventilation openings between flats and in shared stairs provide routes for pigeons to move between units.

Roof water tanks in Al Jamiah are critical because the district is dense and street water is not always readily available.

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.

Landmarks of Al Jamiah

The district pivots on Al Jamiah Roundabout and Al Fath Park, which gather residents and pigeons together. Work here starts at the roundabout and spreads to surrounding blocks, requiring understanding of how pigeons move from the park and street markets into neighbouring flats.

Questions about this district

Al Jamiah Roundabout is very close. Can I reduce watering there to deter pigeons?

The roundabout is public land and not yours, but you can contact the municipality or the neighbourhood committee. Even if they reduce watering, pigeons will come from shops and restaurants. Treating your flat alone may fail if it is not part of a wider district approach.

My flat is on the second floor with an open balcony. Should I close it?

An open balcony provides direct access. You may need netting or a temporary screen door until ledge deterrents are in place. Deterrents on the ledge will reduce landing but an open balcony remains a hazard.

The restaurant below smells of meat and poultry. Do pigeons come for the smell?

Smell provides a signal but pigeons come for actual food and water. If the restaurant leaves scraps beside it or in a yard, pigeons come for food, not smell. Treating the restaurant is essential.

My neighbour in the adjacent flat refuses treatment. Does that affect me?

Directly. Pigeons will move from your neighbour's flat to yours because the gap is tiny. Agree on joint treatment or accept continuous bird traffic from their side.

Stadium Road is close by. Do the sports grounds and gardens there supply extra pigeons?

Stadium facilities supply water, shade and sometimes food dropped by visitors. Yes, there is additional pressure from that direction. Treating Al Jamiah alone may not suffice unless we reduce external sources.

Andalusia Hospital is beside us. Does it attract more pigeons than normal?

The hospital supplies limited food because its standards are high and cleanliness strict. But ledges around it become roost sites because of foot traffic and activity. The hospital itself is safe from pigeons but the surrounding district is under more pressure.

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