Bird and pigeon control in Al Qararah Wa Al Naqa Makkah

Al Qararah Wa Al Naqa is a new development district north east of the Grand Mosque. Ongoing construction and vacant plots between homes create wide open spaces for pigeons to roost and travel. Masjid Al Rayah and the road climbing toward Al Mualla make this a main transit route for both birds and pilgrims, with scattered food sources throughout the day.

Why they keep coming back in Al Qararah Wa Al Naqa

Pigeons here are more mobile than in older quarters, using empty plots as temporary staging posts rather than establishing permanent nesting territories. The method is set out in full on what Bird and pigeon control involves.

The first reason

Vacant plots and open spaces between new villas

Scattered empty plots provide wide landing and flying space for pigeons. Incomplete construction means birds find no permanent shelter, but use the new buildings as temporary stopping points.

The second reason

Unoccupied new villas and temporary building storage structures

New villas not yet inhabited and temporary construction sheds offer shelter for pigeons. Smooth new roofs provide safer perching than older buildings would.

The third reason

Road toward Grand Mosque and climb to Al Mualla

The road ascending toward Al Mualla carries crowds of pilgrims and visitors throughout the day. Food scraps left on the route feed pigeons continuously.

Before treatment

The building decides which deterrent works

A new district with scattered building and empty plots between villas and apartments offers wide sight lines and large open spaces that pigeons use for flight and landing.

Ledge width

Ledges on new villas are relatively wide and smooth, offering easy perching for pigeons, and need a strong, substantial deterrent.

Outdoor condenser units on a building roof

Air conditioning platforms

Air conditioning units on modern villas are neatly and regularly placed, creating limited cavities but requiring careful isolation.

The nest itself

Nests on new buildings are fewer than on old districts but form rapidly if deterrents are not fitted early.

The droppings pattern

Droppings on smooth new roofs appear quickly and attract insects, needing regular cleaning more often than older surfaces.

Openings and shafts

Openings and gaps between new villas are fewer than in old houses, but side gaps around villas offer shelter for pigeons.

Around the roof tank

Roof tanks on new villas are modern and leak proof, but pigeons perch on them easily and contaminate the water.

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 Wa Al Naqa

New development: ongoing construction and vacant plots between the homes

Scattered building and vacant plots provide wide space for pigeons to move freely. Installation must start before the district fills with residents to prevent bird colonisation from the outset.

Questions about this district

Empty plots are everywhere, will pigeons stay or move to other areas?

Pigeons stay close to food sources on the Al Masjid Road. We focus on fitting deterrents to the occupied villas and apartments where residents live.

Construction continues in the district, how do you work among the building sites?

We work carefully around builders and equipment. We choose times of light building activity or work in the evening when site traffic drops.

New villas are vacant and unoccupied, is it worth fitting deterrents there?

Yes, very important indeed, because pigeons will settle when new residents arrive. Early installation prevents nesting from the start.

The area is right next to the Haram, are there restrictions on pesticides?

Yes, we use mechanical and physical barriers only. Spraying and chemical treatments are forbidden near the Grand Mosque.

Empty plots give pigeons wide spaces to fly, does that affect the deterrent?

Yes, wide open space lets pigeons fly freely. We focus on protecting roofs and balconies and recommend keeping vacant plots from lying completely open.

The Rua Al Haram project is very close, do large developments affect the pigeons?

Yes, major projects attract more birds and insects. Your area may be an important transit passage for pigeons from the Haram toward Al Maabdah.

How much does bird and pigeon control in Al Qararah Wa Al Naqa 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 Wa Al Naqa.
