Bird and pigeon control in Al Wahah Jeddah

Al Wahah is a relatively recently built villa district east of Jeddah laid out to a regular plan with villas, apartment buildings and commercial spines. Villas predominate with private gardens. Al Wahah Park provides wide irrigated green spaces. The district adjoins older popular neighbourhoods with aged sewer lines and vacant plots that collect rubbish. Pigeons migrate from the old quarters to the new district seeking safety and food. The real problem is that the new district is ringed by old neighbourhoods that supply endless pigeon resources.

Why they keep coming back in Al Wahah

The new clean district attracts pigeons from the old neighbouring quarters where waste accumulates and shelters are abundant. The method is set out in full on the full Bird and pigeon control page.

The first reason

Al Wahah Park and wide continuously irrigated green spaces

Al Wahah Park supplies wide irrigated green areas year round. Water and grass attract pigeons in large numbers. Birds become habituated to the park and gradually migrate toward the neighbouring villas and apartments seeking safety and shelter.

The second reason

Old neighbouring quarters and their abundant waste

Al Nakhil, Al Rehab and Al Shuruq are ringed by vacant plots and old sewer lines. Rubbish accumulates there and attracts birds and rodents. Pigeons migrate from these old neighbourhoods toward the clean new Al Wahah district.

The third reason

Regular planned layout and spacing between villas

Al Wahah is laid out on a regular plan with uniform spacing between properties. These regular gaps create clear pathways for pigeons between plots. Birds move easily from villa to villa.

The character of Al Wahah

Villa district: private plots, gardens and a boundary wall to every house

A villa district means each owner is responsible for their own property, but pigeons arrive from neighbouring old quarters so the problem is not contained in Al Wahah.

Before treatment

The building decides which deterrent works

A relatively newly built villa district on a regular plan, irrigated green spaces from Al Wahah Park, villas with private gardens and apartment buildings, bordered by old popular quarters with aged drainage and vacant plots collecting debris.

Ledge width

Ledges on new villas are uniform because the district is planned, though villas may vary in size.

Outdoor condenser units on a building roof

Air conditioning platforms

Air conditioning on new villas is modern and mounting platforms are standardised.

The nest itself

Nests on new villa roofs are rare because owners clean regularly.

Droppings are light on new villas, but may be heavy on adjacent vacant plots.

Openings and shafts

Openings are limited on new villas but windows and balconies may serve as entry points.

Roof tanks on villas are covered, but the surrounding area may be a perching point.

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 Umm Al Salam Sub-Municipality

The Umm Al Salam sub municipality covers the east and south east of Jeddah along the Old Makkah Road and the Haramain Road. It pairs recently planned districts such as Al Wahah, Al Nakhil and Al Shuruq with popular districts that grew outside formal planning, including Al Harazat, Al Mahamid and Umm Al Salam. The older areas have ageing drainage, unpaved streets and vacant plots where building waste collects, conditions that suit rodents, cockroaches and ants. The newer areas are ringed by half built subdivisions and open excavations.

Questions about this district

Is Al Wahah Park the main source of pigeons in the district?

Partly, the park provides food and water, but pigeons also arrive from neighbouring old quarters.

How do you address pigeon migration from the old quarters outside?

You cannot stop external migration, but deterrents on each villa reduce settlement. Coordination with neighbours matters.

Do the vacant plots nearby provide shelters for birds to hide?

Very much, vacant ground and rubble offer shelter. Pigeons may hide there during hot daytime hours.

Do the regular gaps between modern villas create flight paths for pigeons?

Yes, regular spacing makes movement easy. Birds hop from villa to villa without difficulty.

What is the difference between treating villas versus apartment blocks in Al Wahah?

Villas have separate roofs and private gardens. Apartments have shared roofs. The solution differs for each type.

Are pigeons coming from vacant plots more numerous than others?

Yes, vacant plots offer many shelters, and birds arriving from them may be numerous.

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