Bird and pigeon control in Al Mansour Makkah

Al Mansour is one of Makkah's oldest districts strung along Prince Mansour Street, where shops, markets and old apartment buildings line the long artery. Pigeons settle easily on roofs and in storerooms. The street extends from Al Hajoun Road to the middle ring road, shops supply constant food, and old apartment blocks above the shops provide intermediate shelter. This is an old commercial zone requiring separate treatment approach from purely residential neighbourhoods.

Why they keep coming back in Al Mansour

Ground floor shops and old souqs supply daily food scraps in abundance, and pigeons move easily from shop to shop across shared roofs. The method is set out in full on our Bird and pigeon control service.

The first reason

Shops and old markets on Prince Mansour Street

Shops and markets on the long Prince Mansour Street drop food continuously, and pigeons perch on shop roofs and enter windows and openings. Treating the neighbourhood requires closing every opening in the shops and storerooms.

The second reason

Old apartment blocks above the commercial shops

Old residential apartment blocks standing above the shops provide additional pigeon shelter, and pigeons nest in upper flats and perch on lower commercial roofs. Flat residents complain of droppings falling on balconies and window sills.

The third reason

The long street and shops spread across a wide area

Prince Mansour Street is very long and shops spread across a large area, and pigeons move easily from one shop to another. Treating individual shops may not stop pigeons if neighbouring shops remain undefended.

Before treatment

The building decides which deterrent works

Shops, markets and old apartment buildings along Prince Mansour Street, an old commercial zone with a mosque in the neighbourhood.

Ledge width

Ledges on shops along the street are broad with clear gaps between mortar and wall, and pigeons choose these locations readily.

Outdoor condenser units on a building roof

Air conditioning platforms

Air conditioning units on shop and apartment roofs drip abundant water, and pigeons gather around these units all day long.

The nest itself

Nests on old shop roofs are numerous and deep because birds have used these surfaces for many years before treatment.

Droppings from large pigeon numbers accumulate rapidly on shop roofs and upper building balconies.

Openings and shafts

Openings and windows on shops and apartment buildings provide easy indoor access for pigeons.

Water tanks on shared roofs may belong to a shop or residential building, and pigeons stand on them openly.

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.

The character of Al Mansour

Commercial area: offices, showrooms and small stores

A commercial zone on a long street means pigeons do not settle on one shop but move easily among several shops and commercial points. Treating an individual shop may stop birds on that roof temporarily, but they return from undefended neighbouring shops.

Questions about this district

Do old commercial shops on the long street provide separate pigeon gathering points?

Each shop or group of shops provides a gathering point, and pigeons move easily from point to point along the street. Treating one shop may not stop pigeons if other shops remain a bird source.

Do residential flats above the shops need separate treatment?

Flats and shops may share one roof, and fitting a deterrent needs agreement from both flat residents and shop owners. The shop complains of birds in storerooms and flats of droppings on balconies.

Does the long street make it difficult to treat pigeons in every shop?

The great length and spread of shops means rapid treatment of every shop is difficult, and pigeons move from a treated shop to another undefended one nearby.

Is water from air conditioning units enough for pigeons along the entire street?

Air conditioning units on shops and buildings drip substantial water, and pigeons drink from this supply regularly without needing to travel far.

Do openings and windows in narrow old shops provide easy entry for pigeons?

Old narrow shops have old windows and openings that are easy to enter, and pigeons slip inside storerooms and kitchens with ease.

Is treating a commercial zone different from treating an ordinary residential neighbourhood?

Commercial areas add complexity from coordination with multiple shop owners and premises holders. Pigeons in commercial zones move easily between shops, unlike residential flocks.

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