Bird and pigeon control in Al Shubaikah Al Jadid Makkah

Al Shubaikah Al Jadid is Crown Prince schemes three and four south of the city on Al Laith Road. New villas and empty plots stand among wide clean streets. Building is scattered and the area is still developing. Wadi Uranah and its tributaries flow through the plots and hold water after rain, with Jabal Kasaab and Jabal Labnahh bounding the district on both sides.

Why they keep coming back in Al Shubaikah Al Jadid

Pigeons in Al Shubaikah Al Jadid move more than in complete neighbourhoods and use empty plots and new villas as temporary staging posts. The method is set out in full on the full Bird and pigeon control page.

The first reason

New unoccupied villas scattered among wide vacant plots

Unoccupied new villas offer pigeons temporary shelter. Wide vacant plots around the villas give birds wide sight lines and large landing spaces.

The second reason

Valleys and flood channels running through the land

Wadi Uranah and tributaries flow through the scheme and hold water in low spots after rain. This water supplies pigeons with constant drinking sources.

The third reason

Surrounding mountains and high peaks as observation posts

Jabal Labnahh and Jabal Kasaab rim the district and offer high vantage points. Pigeons use the peaks to watch then descend to feed at the villas.

Before treatment

The building decides which deterrent works

A new district with modern villas and vacant plots on wide clean streets, surrounded by mountains and valleys that retain floodwater after rain.

A narrow concrete projection on a building facade

Ledge width

Ledges on new villas are wide and very smooth, offering easy safe perching for pigeons, and need strong deterrents.

Outdoor condenser units on a building roof

Air conditioning platforms

Air conditioning units on modern villas are installed in regular patterns and create limited gaps but still need isolation.

A twig nest sitting on a building projection

The nest itself

Nests on vacant new villas are few now but will form rapidly if deterrents are not fitted early.

Bird droppings marking an exterior concrete wall

The droppings pattern

Droppings on smooth new roofs appear quickly and attract insects easily.

Openings and shafts

Openings and gaps between new villas are few, but scattered villa positioning creates wide side spaces.

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

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.

What is different about South Makkah Sub-Municipality

South Makkah sub municipality is the belt of Crown Prince schemes south of Al Ukayshiyah, along the Al Laith road and the extension of Ibrahim Al Khalil Road to the Fifth Ring Road and the Non Muslims bypass. Most of it is still bare: granted plots awaiting houses, new villas standing alone, open building sites and unfinished paving and drainage. Wadi Uranah and its tributaries cross the low ground and hold water after rain, hills close it in, and rodents, reptiles and scorpions shelter in stacked materials and foundation pits before the neighbourhoods fill up.

Questions about this district

Empty plots are everywhere, do pigeons settle there or go elsewhere?

Pigeons do not settle in completely open empty ground. They use them as passages then target villas and temporary sheds.

New villas are completely vacant, is pigeon settlement happening now?

Yes, it may be. Early deterrent fitting on vacant villas is essential to prevent nesting from the start.

Wadi Uranah holds water, does that draw pigeons to the area?

Yes, water provides drinking sources. But pigeons target buildings more than staying in the open wadi.

Jabal Kasaab and Jabal Labnahh are beside us, do pigeons come from the mountains?

Yes, mountains are natural pigeon habitat. Pigeons descend from peaks to villas to feed and drink.

The district is still under construction, how do you work among building equipment?

We work carefully around building equipment. We choose light construction hours or work in the evening when site traffic drops.

Will pigeons settle on new villas immediately after residents move in?

They may if deterrents are not fitted. This is why early fitting on vacant villas is critical.

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