Why they keep coming back in Al Qararah Al Jadid

Active construction creates wide gaps between villas, and pigeons favour these open spaces for movement between roofs during the early development phases. The method is set out in full on what Bird and pigeon control involves.

The first reason

Vacant plots between new villas

In emerging districts like this, villas are scattered and the vacant spaces between them are very wide. Pigeons use these open expanses to move between roofs. Early fitting before completion of the scheme prevents nesting during the early construction phases when gaps are widest.

The second reason

Ongoing construction and temporary nests

Active building sites provide debris and temporary shelter for pigeons. Treatment timing varies by construction phase: before finishing or after handover. Coordinating the work with the building schedule makes the treatment far more effective and prevents re-infestation.

The third reason

Proximity to Jabal Labanah and open wadi

Closeness to Jabal Labanah and Wadi Uranah means wild pigeons may arrive from nearby natural areas. The open setting eases horizontal movement, but targeted treatment on roofs and ledges still delivers the protection required.

Before treatment

The building decides which deterrent works

The district is a new scheme along the southern extension of Ibrahim Al Khalil Road with flat open ground. Wadi Uranah crosses through it and Jabal Labanah rises to the north.

Ledge width

New villa ledges are clean metal and often sharp; deterrents install securely and grip the surface well.

Outdoor condenser units on a building roof

Air conditioning platforms

Air conditioning units in new apartments sit on metal platforms, and the base is solid. Pigeons keep clear of the working unit.

The nest itself

Early nests during construction are simple and built in unprotected gaps and corners where building continues.

Bird droppings marking an exterior concrete wall

The droppings pattern

Droppings accumulate on ledges and gutters, and moisture from new landscaping irrigation attracts tiny biting insects.

Openings and shafts

Openings created by ongoing work are numerous, and temporary sealing can be reopened if access is needed later.

Roof tanks in new villas sit away from the main ledge, but pigeons may stand on adjacent pipework and risers.

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 Qararah Al Jadid

New development: ongoing construction and vacant plots between the homes

In a developing district, pigeons colonise open spaces and old nesting sites quickly. Fitting before completion prevents nesting before it becomes an entrenched habit in the neighbourhood.

Questions about this district

The villa is still under construction; when should we fit deterrents?

Fitting before the build completes is best. It prevents pigeons nesting during early phases and avoids delaying treatment after occupation. Timing it with the final finishing stages achieves the best results and lowest risk of re-colonisation.

Vacant plots around the villa are enormous; do pigeons nest on the open ground first?

Pigeons use vacant plots to move about, but nesting happens on sheltered roofs and ledges. Removing nests from the roof now stops future nesting even if the surrounding areas are not yet developed.

Wadi Uranah is beside us and carries water in winter; does this bring new pigeons?

Water does attract pigeons, but nesting occurs on fixed structures. Treating the roof and ledges stops nesting regardless of water availability in the wadi at different times of year.

The scheme is brand new with very few residents and pristine roofs; why would pigeons come here?

Pigeons scout new areas, especially around old nests or gaps that resemble natural terrain. Early treatment stops nesting before it becomes an established habit in the developing district.

Once building completes and streets and drainage finish, will pigeons decrease within a year?

Completion increases residential density and food and water sources, which actually attracts more pigeons. Early and ongoing treatment remains necessary even after the scheme matures.

Jabal Labanah stands to the north at a distance; do wild hill pigeons come straight down?

Hill pigeons prefer heights but may move to nearby roofs. Treating roofs and ledges stops any pigeons arriving from any source, whether hills or other districts.

How much does bird and pigeon control in Al Qararah Al Jadid 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 Qararah Al Jadid.
