Bird and pigeon control in Al Taqwa Makkah

Al Taqwa is a new hillside district south of Al Misfalah at Qawz Al Nakasah on the old Yemen road, built on slopes after clearance of informal housing. Pigeons nest on the roofs of new homes and the emerging planned scheme because the slope enables easy flight for the birds and the busy Al Taqwa Street market below supplies constant dropped food.

Why they keep coming back in Al Taqwa

The new scheme and the busy street market attract pigeons to stay and nest on the modern roofs spreading across the sloping neighbourhood. The method is set out in full on our Bird and pigeon control service.

The first reason

Steep hillside and effortless flight

The district sits on the slope of Jabal Sharaf where the angle aids pigeons in flying and landing on roofs without strain. The hillside provides a natural launch point from which birds glide to roof perches.

The second reason

Busy street market and scattered food

Al Taqwa Street has an active popular market with food shops. Scattered food scraps attract pigeons to stay in the area and nest on roofs of nearby homes.

The third reason

Modern roofs and regular gaps

New housing schemes have homes with smooth concrete roofs and regular gaps between them. The orderly design makes it easy for pigeons to select secure nesting sites.

Al Taqwa on the map

Al Taqwa sits about 1.5 km from Al Misfalah and about 2 km from Al Khalidiyah.

Before treatment

The building decides which deterrent works

The district sits on a steep hillside with new homes in a land grant scheme centered on Al Taqwa Street as the main axis, with an active popular market nearby.

Ledge width

The ledge on a sloped roof is not level and needs a deterrent that follows the angle of descent.

Outdoor condenser units on a building roof

Air conditioning platforms

Air conditioning units on new homes on the slope are angled at multiple angles, creating irregular gaps behind each.

The nest itself

Nests on modern roofs are built from materials the pigeon carried, as new concrete offers none.

Droppings accumulate on angled roofs and drain with water runoff.

Openings and shafts

Openings and gaps around platform bases are multiple due to the slope angle.

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 Taqwa

Al Taqwa stretches along Al Taqwa Street from Qawz Al Nakasah eastward towards Ibrahim Al Khalil Street where the markets and shops cluster. Roof access is via internal home staircases or along Al Taqwa Street itself depending on which house needs treatment.

Questions about this district

The street market drops scraps on Al Taqwa Street, does that affect the pigeons?

Scattered food from the market attracts pigeons to the area. Deterrents stop nesting but continuous market cleanup reduces the attraction.

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

Pigeons nest in empty homes because they offer quiet. Early deterrent installation prevents settlement.

The slope is very steep, how do you work safely on these roofs?

Steep slopes need special safety equipment. We coordinate with residents for secure internal access from stairs and rooftops.

Qawz Al Nakasah overlooks the district, does that affect pigeons here?

Natural ridges supply easy flight paths for birds. New roofs nearby attract pigeons to stay.

Nearby Ibrahim Al Khalil Street has shops and food, does that draw more pigeons?

Shops and food on neighbouring streets attract pigeons to the whole district. Coordinated treatment across several neighbourhoods reduces the problem.

Will pigeons return quickly because of the busy street market and active shopping area?

Pigeons may return if food remains available. Good deterrents stop direct nesting but reducing food supply is more important.

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