Bird and pigeon control in Al Shuruq Jeddah

Al Shuruq lies east of the Haramain Road between Al Wahah and Al Tawfiq, a mix of apartment blocks, villas and ground floor shops. Its layout means construction is still ongoing at the edges, so vacant plots, new subdivisions and live building sites offer multiple shelters for pigeons. The district allows pigeons to move easily between construction sites and nearby commercial spines.

Why they keep coming back in Al Shuruq

The relatively new district sees rising pigeon numbers as buildings complete, because new food sources and modern ledges draw birds from the crowded neighbouring older quarters. The method is set out in full on our Bird and pigeon control service.

The first reason

Vacant plots and building sites supply temporary shelter

New subdivisions, empty land and live building sites in Al Shuruq offer multiple pigeon shelters before construction is complete. Birds may occupy an abandoned plot or half finished building, then migrate to newly finished ledges and air conditioners as the structure is completed and becomes habitable.

The second reason

Palestine Road is a dense commercial spine

Palestine Road carries restaurants, shops and popular markets, and pigeons habituate to this artery, spending daylight hours foraging there, then flying to ledges on nearby villas and apartments in Al Shuruq and Al Nakhil to roost and breed.

The third reason

Ongoing development attracts new pigeon populations

The district continues to develop with new subdivisions under construction, so every new building becomes a fresh pigeon shelter. Residents of new homes may not expect pigeons in a new district, but birds migrate from the crowded older neighbouring quarters.

The character of Al Shuruq

Mixed district: shops at street level with homes above them

A mixed district means new villas may border commercial spines and older subdivisions, so pigeons arrive from Palestine Road or from nearby building sites, and treatment must account for the district's evolving nature.

Before treatment

The building decides which deterrent works

The district sits east of the Haramain Road between Al Wahah and Al Tawfiq, with Palestine Road running through it and King Abdullah branch road bounding it to the south. Newer residential subdivisions border Al Nakhil to the south.

Ledge width

Ledges on new Al Shuruq villas are clean and uniform, and barriers fit easily because ledges have not cracked yet.

Outdoor condenser units on a building roof

Air conditioning platforms

Air conditioners on new villas are modern with few gaps, but pigeons may nest behind the external unit at the first opportunity.

Nests on new villas are rare initially, but accelerate once residents move in.

Droppings accumulate quickly once homes are occupied, especially if treatment is delayed.

Openings and shafts

Openings and shafts may be limited in modern construction, but pigeons find gaps between ceilings and walls.

Roof tanks on new villas are usually well covered, but pigeons stand on the adjacent surface.

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.

Landmarks of Al Shuruq

Work in Al Shuruq begins with a survey along Palestine Road where food outlets and commercial activity draw pigeons daily, then moves to assess new subdivisions and adjoining villas to map the migration pattern between food sources and roosting sites.

Questions about this district

The district is new and building is ongoing; do pigeons arrive before the villa is finished?

Yes, pigeons may occupy the site before construction is complete. Open plots and unfinished roofs offer temporary shelter. By the time the building is done, birds may already be settled.

The villa is brand new; why do pigeons come before we move in?

Empty new villas offer uninterrupted safe ledges away from resident activity. Pigeons migrate from nearby ledges or from neighbouring crowded districts.

Palestine Road is close; do the restaurants there attract pigeons?

Yes, restaurants and commercial outlets supply daily food. Villas and flats near Palestine Road may attract more birds than those further away.

A new subdivision beside us is still being built; does that affect our house?

Yes, active building sites offer pigeon shelter. Birds may migrate from the construction site to your new adjacent villa.

Al Nakhil is south of Al Shuruq; do pigeons migrate from there to us?

Very likely. Birds move easily between neighbouring districts, especially where villas and flats are closely spaced.

Al Shuruq is a developing area; is treatment different from established districts?

Yes, it may be. A new district may need periodic treatment because food sources and shelter sites shift with ongoing construction.

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