Bird and pigeon control in Al Manar Jeddah

Al Manar is a middle income district stretching from Hada Al Sham Road south to Al Samir, with villas and modestly priced apartment blocks and shopping centres laid out on a regular plan. The ground is inland and away from the sea, drainage networks in newer sections remain incomplete, so soil around foundations stays damp. Vacant plots and open building sites and constant dust give crawling insects and rodents easy routes toward homes, and pigeons move in to hunt these prey and nest on villa and apartment roofs nearby.

Why they keep coming back in Al Manar

Drainage networks remain incomplete and groundwater runs high in places, keeping soil damp around foundations. Vacant plots and restaurants on main arteries provide ongoing food sources for rodents and insects that attract birds to the neighbourhood. The method is set out in full on Bird and pigeon control in detail.

The first reason

Vacant land and gaps between incomplete construction

Al Manar's development remains incomplete and vacant plots and live building sites are numerous, and the constant dust stirs rodents and insects from open ground. Pigeons move in to hunt these prey on vacant land then nest on roofs and balconies of nearby villas and apartment blocks.

The second reason

Dense food outlets and restaurants on main arteries

Heavy concentration of restaurants and shops on the main spines in Al Manar provides constant food sources for insects, rodents and birds, and scattered food and open waste containers attract large flocks of pigeons to nest on nearby roof and balcony edges.

The third reason

Damp ground and incomplete drainage networks

Incomplete drainage and high groundwater table keep soil permanently damp around building foundations, and the damp ground attracts worms and insects which in turn draw birds seeking prey to settle and nest on the roofs.

Before treatment

The building decides which deterrent works

Al Manar lies between Hada Al Sham Road and Al Samir district and holds villas, economical apartment blocks and commercial centres. It sits east of the expressway on Jeddah's north eastern edge with incomplete infrastructure in some sections.

A narrow concrete projection on a building facade

Ledge width

The roof edges of villas and blocks in Al Manar are of moderate height and recently built but sit surrounded by damp vacant land, so the deterrent must cover the full ledge comprehensively.

Outdoor condenser units on a building roof

Air conditioning platforms

Air conditioning units are numerous and gaps around them offer wind shelter and protection from moisture, so the deterrent must fully seal these spaces to prevent birds accessing them.

The nest itself

Nests in Al Manar are of moderate size with small insects, and cleaning requires full treatment before permanent deterrent installation.

The droppings pattern

Droppings fall onto vacant land and gardens, and cleanup can be delayed but old nests continue to attract more birds even in the absence of active use.

Openings and shafts

Openings and ventilation in economical flats may be basic and easy to access, so birds can enter through them if not screened.

Multiple tanks on roofs may be partly open in modest apartment buildings, so sealing them completely is essential for complete protection.

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 Briman Sub-Municipality

Briman sub-municipality sits east of the Haramain expressway on Jeddah's north eastern edge. Its older quarters are planned grids of villas and walk-up flats, while the outer districts are new subdivisions still being built out. Seasonal wadis such as Wadi Umm Hablain and Wadi Al Asla cross the area, groundwater runs high in places, and drainage networks in the newer districts are incomplete, so soil around foundations stays damp. Vacant plots, live building sites and constant dust give crawling insects and rodents easy routes into homes, and the food outlets along the main arteries keep them supplied.

Questions about this district

The neighbourhood is still developing and the ground is damp. How does this affect pigeons?

Damp ground and vacant plots provide ideal conditions for insects and rodents, and pigeons come to hunt these prey then nest on your roof and balcony looking for water and food sources from the surrounding area.

Restaurants and shops near our house attract birds. Does the deterrent protect us?

Yes, the deterrent stops birds landing and nesting on your roof despite the food sources nearby, but we recommend not leaving any food or water uncovered on your roof or balcony.

The drainage network is incomplete. Will finishing it reduce pigeons?

Yes, completing drainage will reduce soil moisture and insect populations, but restaurants and shops will continue to provide food, so the deterrent will remain necessary even after drainage work finishes.

Will insects and rodents from the damp ground enter the house from the soil?

Yes, damp ground and low foundations provide routes for rodents and insects into the building, so sealing small gaps and cracks in the foundation and walls is essential to prevent them entering.

Our house is near gardens and green spaces. Do these attract pigeons?

Yes, gardens and irrigated green spaces attract birds, but the deterrent stops them landing on your roof. We recommend reducing watering frequency and not leaving food or water uncovered anywhere on your property.

The neighbourhood is very new. When can we expect pigeon numbers to peak?

Once construction finishes and green spaces and shops become established pigeon numbers will grow. The deterrent should be fitted early before birds become accustomed to settling on your roof.

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