Bird and pigeon control in East Al Sulaymaniyah Jeddah

East Al Sulaymaniyah sits near Haramain Road and the Haramain high speed rail station, with apartment buildings, villas and busy commercial streets. Medium density housing administered by the Umm Al Salam sub municipality borders Al Nakhil to the north and Abruq Al Raghamah to the east. Commercial outlets and restaurants near the station provide abundant food for pigeons, and parking areas and open spaces offer shelter. Pigeons arrive from the station and commercial streets and migrate to adjacent apartments and villas.

Why they keep coming back in East Al Sulaymaniyah

Apartments close to commercial outlets see far more pigeon traffic than detached villas, and pigeons exploit customer food scraps and litter. The method is set out in full on the full Bird and pigeon control page.

The first reason

Rail station and commercial outlets as food source

The Haramain High Speed Rail Station and surrounding shops and restaurants supply abundant food and constant passenger traffic. Pigeons roost on station and shop roofs and commute to apartments and villas seeking night shelter. Control requires coordination with the station operator and shop owners.

The second reason

Flats above shops and shared inter storey voids

Apartments sit directly above commercial units, and voids between them shelter pigeons. Birds nest in those cavities and enter flats through windows and vents. Removing nests from inter storey spaces is more difficult than rooftop work.

The third reason

Car parks and open spaces in commercial area

Parking areas and open gaps between buildings provide shade and wind shelter. Pigeons shelter in those gaps during the day and return to roofs at night. Roof treatment protects you, but pressure remains while gaps exist.

The character of East Al Sulaymaniyah

Mixed district: shops at street level with homes above them

In a mixed district near the station, shops and restaurants supply abundant food and pigeons arrive in large numbers. Apartments above shops offer shelter through inter storey voids, and treatment requires coordination with owners and merchants.

Before treatment

The building decides which deterrent works

Ledge width

Ledges on apartments and blocks near the station are older and irregular, and fixings must be robust for secure anchoring.

Air conditioning platforms

Air conditioning platforms on ledges near the station shelter pigeons, and barriers protect both the platform and the ledge.

The nest itself

Nests in inter storey voids harbour moisture loving parasites, and complete removal and cleaning are necessary.

Droppings weep from voids onto balconies and windows, and post removal cleaning reveals the true scale of contamination.

Openings and shafts

Windows and openings in flats are numerous, and broken windows and ventilation gaps provide entry routes.

Roof tanks under the ledge directly need barriers that encircle them well clear of valves.

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

The station is very close and busy; do pigeons come directly from the station?

Yes, the Haramain station and surrounding shops supply food and shelter, and pigeons migrate from the station to apartments easily. Your roof barriers protect you, but the source is near.

My flat is directly above a shop; do pigeons nest in the gap between us?

Yes, inter storey voids are ideal pigeon shelter. We coordinate with the shop owner to seal all gaps on his side, or pigeons simply enter via gaps he leaves open.

The commercial street is close and litter is heavy; are pigeons more numerous?

Yes, commercial streets supply abundant food from discarded meals and waste. Pigeons arrive in larger numbers and remain as long as food is accessible.

My villa sits next to an apartment block; do pigeons migrate from the block to my villa?

Yes, pigeons move easily from adjacent blocks to villas. If that block has not treated its roof, pressure on your villa stays high.

How often do they return if the station and shops are not treated?

If the station and shops remain untreated, pigeons will return but in lower numbers once we seal your gaps. Barriers protect you but the nearby source is a continuing draw.

Does every resident in the block need to approve work with the building committee?

Yes, in shared apartment buildings treatment requires building committee approval. We help coordinate and document, but the decision rests with the committee.

How much does bird and pigeon control in East Al Sulaymaniyah 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 East Al Sulaymaniyah.
