Bird and pigeon control in Al Souq Al Saghir Al Jadid Makkah

Al Souq Al Saghir Al Jadid is a new residential extension south of Makkah on the Al Laith road and the extension of Ibrahim Al Khalil Road, mostly empty plots with villas under construction and new apartment buildings. Wadi Uranah crosses the scheme and Al Amin Mosque and Dar Al Bashaer Mosque serve the early residents. Pigeons arrive from the wadi and surrounding vacant land before the buildings fill up, making early deterrent fitting essential to prevent establishment of nesting before occupation begins.

Why they keep coming back in Al Souq Al Saghir Al Jadid

Pigeons arrive heavily from Wadi Uranah and vacant open ground before building completion. Birds move freely between the open land and new structures. The method is set out in full on the full Bird and pigeon control page.

The first reason

Wadi Uranah and large open spaces

Wadi Uranah is a seasonal watercourse carrying floods and moisture. The flat open ground around it provides natural shelter and pigeons move from the wadi to the new building ledges as they complete.

The second reason

New empty villas and apartment buildings

Unoccupied new buildings offer clean, safe ledges and air units, and pigeons arrive before occupation to scout and nest. Early deterrent fitting breaks the nesting cycle before it establishes.

The third reason

The mosque and emerging services

Al Amin Mosque and Dar Al Bashaer Mosque provide food from meal scraps and gatherings. Pigeons concentrate at the mosques before moving to nearby building ledges to nest.

The character of Al Souq Al Saghir Al Jadid

New development: ongoing construction and vacant plots between the homes

New development status means pigeons arrive to scout rather than return to old habits. Early deterrents stop the first breeding cycle and prevent the establishment of returning patterns.

Before treatment

The building decides which deterrent works

A new residential extension south of Makkah, mostly vacant land with recent villas and buildings under construction, crossed by Wadi Uranah, emerging mosques and services.

New villa and apartment ledges are clean metal, and deterrent fitting is straightforward on new metalwork.

Air conditioning platforms

Modern building air units are positioned by design with precisely calculated clearances. Fitting requires precision.

The nest itself

Nests in new empty buildings are simple because settlement is recent. Cleaning requires less time.

The droppings pattern

Droppings are sparse initially in empty homes and accumulate rapidly after occupation starts.

Openings and shafts

Modern design limits openings. Pigeons focus on ledges and air units as access points.

Around the roof tank

The roof tank sits within boundary walls or at height. Direct access is harder but perching on the rim edge is common.

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 Souq Al Saghir Al Jadid

Work in Al Souq Al Saghir flows from Ibrahim Al Khalil Road and Dhat An Nitaqain Street, which structure the neighbourhood grid. We assess the area between Al Amin Mosque and Dar Al Bashaer Mosque, where pigeon concentrations reflect the religious gathering cycle that provides food and temporary shelter.

Questions about this district

My villa is new with clean metal ledges; should we fit deterrents before occupation or after?

Fitting before occupation is far better. Pigeons may arrive before you move in, and early deterrents stop nesting from the start.

The apartment building is new and the flats are empty; do pigeons come straight from Wadi Uranah?

Yes, the wadi provides shelter and pigeons move from it to high building ledges. Fitted deterrents stop them landing.

Al Amin Mosque is close to my villa; do pigeons gather there first before coming to my house?

Yes, the mosque provides food and pigeons may concentrate there initially. Deterrents on your villa still stop them entering your building.

Building is ongoing and vacant plots are large; should we fit deterrents now or wait until it completes?

Fitting after completion is safer from a working-at-height perspective. If pigeons are already present, early treatment may be needed.

Large vacant plots beside the apartment block; do pigeons come from the vacant land?

Vacant ground provides wild seeds and vegetation. Pigeons may arrive from there but fitted deterrents on the ledges stop them entering.

A government school is close by; do children and waste attract more pigeons?

Schools provide food from scraps and child activity. Pigeons may extend from the school to nearby homes.

How much does bird and pigeon control in Al Souq Al Saghir 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 Souq Al Saghir Al Jadid.
