Bird and pigeon control in Al Nahdah Jeddah

Al Nahdah runs between King Abdulaziz Road and Prince Sultan Road along Hira Street in northern Jeddah, a short distance from the sea. It is residential in its inner blocks but the main streets carry dense trade in shops, restaurants, clinics and cafes. Irrigated lawns around the corniche and Al Nahdah Park keep standing water feeding birds and insects year round, and high sea humidity keeps timber and walls damp, making the neighbourhood an ideal environment for birds and insects to find water, food and nesting shelter on roofs and balconies.

Why they keep coming back in Al Nahdah

High sea humidity and abundant irrigated green spaces around the corniche and park create conditions suited to cockroaches, mosquitoes and insects, and large pigeon populations thrive in this mixed environment. The method is set out in full on what Bird and pigeon control involves.

The first reason

Main street food sources and dense commercial activity

Hira Street and the main spines of Al Nahdah are lined with shops, restaurants, cafes and clinics where scattered food and open waste bins attract pigeons in large numbers. Birds move directly from these main streets to the flats and roofs of adjacent residential buildings immediately beside them.

The second reason

Green spaces and standing water around the corniche

Al Nahdah Park and irrigated green spaces daily maintained around the corniche provide water and food for birds and insects in abundance. Stagnant water and small marshes attract mosquitoes and flies, and pigeons arrive in large flocks to nest on high roofs and balconies overlooking these water sources.

The third reason

High sea humidity and damp timber year-round

Al Nahdah is close to the seafront which keeps humidity high all year, leaving timber and render damp throughout. Gaps and cracks in damp wooden ledges provide ideal nesting sites for birds and insects seeking shelter from the sea breeze.

Landmarks of Al Nahdah

In Al Nahdah, flats and villas are located by Hira Street, Al Nahdah Park and the adjacent corniche. High humidity, abundant green spaces, and dense commercial activity along Hira Street and King Abdulaziz Road create a complex environment that requires comprehensive protection across all building surfaces and openings.

Before treatment

The building decides which deterrent works

Al Nahdah lies between King Abdulaziz Road and Prince Sultan Road along Hira Street in northern Jeddah, close to the seafront. It has apartment buildings and villas in residential blocks whilst the main streets have dense commercial activity with shops, restaurants, clinics and schools.

Ledge width

Building ledges in Al Nahdah vary in height and material, some are timber and damp, so the deterrent needs flexible design that fits each ledge height and type without assuming a standard specification.

Outdoor condenser units on a building roof

Air conditioning platforms

Air conditioning units are numerous on balconies and roofs, the gaps around them stay very damp from sea spray, so the deterrent must seal these spaces completely to be effective.

The nest itself

Nests in Al Nahdah are large and numerous because bird populations are large and food is constantly available, so cleaning requires extra effort and complete treatment.

The droppings pattern

Droppings fall onto the main street and lower flats, cleanup is quick because streets are busy but moisture keeps odours lingering.

Openings and shafts

Openings and windows facing the main street may stand open for ventilation, and birds can enter through them, so protective netting is essential for complete protection.

Multiple water sources including tanks and irrigation systems provide birds several drinking points, so sealing all these sources or reducing watering frequency is necessary to discourage birds settling in the neighbourhood.

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.

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

Aftercare instructions

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 Obhur Sub-Municipality

Obhur sub-municipality runs along Jeddah's northern shoreline from Al Shati up to Obhur Creek. It mixes large villas and gated compounds with busy commercial spines of restaurants, cafes, markets and hotels. Sea humidity is high for most of the year and salt laden breezes keep timber and render damp, while irrigated gardens and lawns surround the corniche and the villa plots. Standing irrigation water, dense planting and food waste from the hospitality strip suit cockroaches, mosquitoes and ants, and the chalets and rest houses scattered along the creek stand empty for long spells, which lets insects and rodents settle undisturbed.

Questions about this district

The neighbourhood is mixed use and restaurants are everywhere. Do pigeons come up from the main street?

Yes, food waste and scraps from restaurants on Hira Street attract pigeons in large numbers, and birds move directly from the street into lower flats and onto roofs of adjacent buildings. We fit deterrents to all flats and gaps bordering the main commercial spines.

There is a public park beside our flat. Does it draw large flocks of birds?

Yes, Al Nahdah Park and the irrigated green spaces draw large flocks, and pigeons move directly from the park to neighbouring roofs and balconies. We recommend fitting deterrents and ensuring no standing water is left uncovered on your roof.

Our flat is on the first floor facing the main street. Can pigeons enter from the balcony?

Yes, lower flats facing the main streets are exposed to pigeons coming directly from the commercial strip below. We screen balconies and windows with fine netting, and we recommend keeping windows closed and no food left exposed on the balcony.

The humidity is very high and walls stay damp. Does this attract pigeons?

Yes, high humidity attracts insects and birds, and damp timber and walls provide ideal conditions for nesting. The deterrent stops birds from landing and nesting on the ledge and balcony despite the favourable moisture conditions.

Our neighbourhood is close to the seafront. Do seabirds and gulls nest here?

Yes, seabirds and gulls may move inland from the shore to nest on high roofs and balconies. The deterrent stops them landing, but we recommend not leaving food uncovered on your roof or balcony as an extra precaution.

Our chalet or rest house is closed temporarily. Do pigeons nest in it then?

Yes, unoccupied chalets and rest houses offer birds and insects safe shelter. Before closing we recommend fitting deterrents to all openings and balconies, and a full inspection when reopening to clear any nests and debris.

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