Bird and pigeon control in Al Qashashiyah Al Jadid Makkah

Al Qashashiyah Al Jadid is the southernmost of Makkah's new planned schemes, Crown Prince schemes 7 and 8 near the Kasab hills and Wadi Malakan. New buildings under construction, wide vacant plots and open building sites create ideal shelter for pigeons migrating from closer-in neighbourhoods. Building roofs and temporary structures become nesting sites very quickly.

Why they keep coming back in Al Qashashiyah Al Jadid

Pigeons here are mobile and move easily between different building sites and vacant plots, making early treatment of each new building absolutely essential. The method is set out in full on our Bird and pigeon control service.

The first reason

Open building sites provide water, food and repeated shelter opportunities

Excavations and trenches fill with water, stacked materials and timber offer hiding places, and food left on site draws pigeon flocks. Treating a building site before foundation work begins stops pigeons from settling there.

The second reason

Wide vacant plots offer safe flight corridors between buildings

Large empty spaces and bare ground create open safe routes that pigeons move through easily. Deterrents on one building are useless if pigeons can roost at a nearby construction site. The problem needs scheme-wide treatment.

The third reason

Kasab hills close by offer natural wild bird shelter continuously

The hills are very close and offer caves and natural crevices for wild birds. Pigeons move easily from the hills to building sites and new roofs. Comprehensive treatment of each building may need coordination with the rocky hillside environment.

Before treatment

The building decides which deterrent works

The Kasab hills and Wadi Malakan at the district's edge provide natural wild bird shelter. The Fifth Ring Road and the southern extension of Ibrahim Al Khalil Road cross the area.

Fresh new roof edges on large building sites provide extremely safe perching points for pigeons in the early stages.

Air conditioning platforms

Temporary air conditioner platforms on roofs during construction provide dripping water that attracts pigeons.

Nesting on new building roofs is sparse at first but spreads very quickly once established.

The droppings pattern

Pigeon droppings on new roofs attract additional birds from nearby building sites and surrounding vacant land.

Openings and shafts

Missing windows and openings on buildings under construction offer easy access for pigeons from the exterior.

Temporary roof tanks on large building sites lack protection and become sources of both water and contamination from perching birds.

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 Qashashiyah Al Jadid

New development: ongoing construction and vacant plots between the homes

Rising projects at the city's edges attract pigeons seeking new territory away from crowding. Early treatment before construction finishes stops the habit at the root, unlike waiting for project completion and occupancy which makes pigeon removal much harder to achieve.

Questions about this district

Do pigeons from older Makkah areas migrate easily to Al Qashashiyah Al Jadid?

Yes. Pigeons seek new territory, and Al Qashashiyah offers clean roofs and safe shelter. Distance from the old city is no barrier. Early treatment stops nesting from the start.

Do building sites and stacked materials attract different bird species?

Yes. Building sites offer varied food and shelter for domestic pigeons and wild birds alike. Different species choose the same roosts. Deterrents block them all the same way.

Should every new building be treated as soon as the roof slab is done?

Yes. Early treatment before occupancy stops nesting at source. Waiting until construction finishes leaves a window for pigeons to nest and makes removal much harder.

Does Wadi Malakan which flows through the area bring seasonal pigeons?

After winter and spring rains yes, the wadi fills with water. But the city's resident pigeon population settles on new roofs regardless of the water.

Can one building be left untreated if it is surrounded by treated buildings?

No. Pigeons move to any untreated roof. One untreated building becomes refuge for pigeons fleeing the neighbours. Every building needs treatment.

Do metal deterrents rust quickly in the salt air nearby?

Yes. The area is close to the sea and salt-laden air speeds corrosion. Choosing coated metal or non-metal alternatives is essential.

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