Bird and pigeon control in An Nawwariyah Makkah

Mixed neighbourhoods combine the challenges of villas and apartment buildings within a single area. An Nawwariyah is a north western district near the Fourth Ring Road, bounded by the Madinah road from the north, containing villas, apartment blocks and wide undeveloped tracts. Named after Wadi An Nawwariyah or Wadi Saraf, it is marked by building diversity and ongoing development. Pigeons settle on villa and apartment rooftops alike, exploiting plants, irrigation water and abundant open space.

Why they keep coming back in An Nawwariyah

Mixed neighbourhoods provide varied roof types and building heights, and numerous open spaces and public water sources offer diverse food and shelter for breeding pigeons. The method is set out in full on the full Bird and pigeon control page.

The first reason

Building diversity means different roof types and ledge profiles

An Nawwariyah contains individual villa roofs, building ledges on apartment blocks and bare ground between construction sites. Each building type presents a different challenge. Pigeons are not confined to one roof type but settle wherever a surface suits them. Treatment must be diverse and tailored to each building class.

The second reason

Vacant land and public gardens offer multiple food sources

Undeveloped land and public spaces such as An Nawwariyah Park provide plants, grass and seeds for birds. Water in park fountains, irrigation channels and catchment areas is free and abundant. This environmental diversity supports large pigeon breeding populations.

The third reason

The pilgrim grouping centre and hospital drive steady human activity

The centre and hospital draw large human crowds and constant foot traffic. Cafe and restaurant waste near these facilities and managed medical waste offer food for pigeons. This continuous human activity unknowingly shelters the birds from predation.

The character of An Nawwariyah

Mixed district: shops at street level with homes above them

Mixed neighbourhoods give pigeons the best of both worlds: protected villa roofs and high apartment ledges, plus open spaces and multiple water and food sources. The problem is more complex because treatment requires coordination with different types of property owners and authorities managing public spaces.

Before treatment

The building decides which deterrent works

A mixed and diverse neighbourhood on undulating ground with villas, apartments, wide vacant plots and public facilities, crossed by Wadi Saraf and a network of connecting roads.

Villa and apartment roofs differ in height and shape, offering pigeons diverse nesting options.

Air conditioning platforms

Air conditioning units on both villas and apartments provide multiple intermediate perches.

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 Al Umrah Sub-Municipality

Al Umrah sub municipality covers the north west of Makkah along the Madinah road and the old Jeddah road, from At Tanim and Masjid Aisha to An Nawwariyah. Its districts are the city's newest, villas and apartment blocks raised on wide schemes where large tracts in Al Umrah Al Jadidah, Al Fayha and Al Buhayrat remain vacant or under construction. Wadi Saraf and Wadi At Tanim run through it and rainwater gathers on unfinished schemes, ihram shops, restaurants and coach stops along the Madinah road serve a constant flow of pilgrims, and villas fill Al Hamra and Umm Al Jud.

Questions about this district

Does pigeon treatment in a mixed neighbourhood differ from single-use zones?

Yes, substantially. Mixed zones require different strategies for each building type. We may fit different deterrents on villas and apartment blocks and coordinate treatment across all types simultaneously.

Do public parks and open spaces worsen the pigeon problem?

Yes, open ground and An Nawwariyah Park provide water and food resources. We may recommend improvements in park management and cleanliness alongside roof deterrents.

Does proximity to a hospital mean the area is less clean?

No, a hospital is a well-run, clean facility. However, any large gathering of people leaves food waste and scraps, which attract pigeons.

The pilgrim grouping centre, does this mean a constant stream of visitors?

Yes, and visiting pilgrims may drop food on the ground while waiting. This provides pigeons with a steady food opportunity.

If we fit deterrents only to villas, does that solve the problem?

No, nearby apartment blocks and open spaces remain as pigeon refuges. The solution must be comprehensive and apply to all building types together.

Does An Nawwariyah Park require separate treatment?

The park itself may need water management and cleanliness improvements. Deterrents on surrounding buildings will reduce pigeon attraction to the park.

How much does bird and pigeon control in An Nawwariyah 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 An Nawwariyah.
