Bird and pigeon control in Mughammas Makkah

Mughammas is an industrial zone of open land east of Makkah on Wadi Al Mughammas, known today as Al Wadi Al Akhdar. Warehouses, loading yards and open ground spread across the area. The wadi holds water after heavy rain, creating humid conditions that attract insects and seeds. Pigeons settle on warehouse structures and empty yards in large flocks because predators and disturbance are minimal.

Why they keep coming back in Mughammas

Pigeons in Mughammas use warehouse roofs and empty yards as massive gathering points. Seasonal water makes insects abundant and draws large concentrated flocks. The method is set out in full on our Bird and pigeon control service.

The first reason

Large architectural structures and vast yards

Warehouses and loading areas in Mughammas offer enormous flat roof and ledge surfaces, and pigeons face no competition or predators in this industrial setting. This makes it a primary gathering point for hundreds of birds.

The second reason

Seasonal water and persistent moisture

Wadi Al Mughammas carries seasonal flow that pools in low ground and foundation digs, providing continuous drinking and a damp environment. Wet soil attracts insects, seeds and small vegetation that pigeons and other birds feed on.

The third reason

Mountains and natural shelter

Jabal Al Tariqi and Jabal Al Khatm surround the area and offer night roosts and wind protection. Rodents living in the hills leave insects and parasites the birds exploit as food, making the entire area a complete ecological system.

Before treatment

The building decides which deterrent works

An industrial area of mostly bare ground through most of the year, situated on the edge of Wadi Al Mughammas which holds standing water after rainfall. Jabal Al Tariqi and Jabal Al Khatm mountains close in the area and provide shelter for rodents.

Ledge width

Warehouse building ledges are broad, flat and offer long traversal paths for pigeons moving between structures.

Air conditioning platforms

Bases of equipment and lifting machinery provide high vantage points pigeons use to scout and roost.

The nest itself

Nests here are built from lightweight paper, fibres and dust, and nesting frequency is high on architectural roof surfaces.

Moisture around the wadi and pooled water provide continuous drinking and support small insect populations.

Soil moisture around the wadi rises seasonally, attracting earthworms and small invertebrates the birds feed upon.

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 Mughammas

Work in Mughammas is organised from natural geographical markers: we coordinate from Jabal Al Tariqi on the northern side and traverse the yards towards Wadi Al Sharai, then ascend to warehouse roofs near the green wadi valley.

Questions about this district

Are warehouse roofs strong enough to safely fit deterrent systems on them?

Most warehouses have strong metal or concrete roofs. We coordinate with warehouse owners before installation to ensure safety and fit deterrents in ways that do not affect insulation or drainage.

Do pigeons arrive from the surrounding mountains, or are they resident flocks?

Mountains provide night roosts and wind shelter, but pigeons living in Mughammas typically stay in the yards rather than commuting back. We focus treatment on roofs and yard areas where they spend most daylight hours.

How many pigeons might gather at the warehouses on a typical day?

Hundreds of birds may concentrate during daylight, which is a very large flock. We do not provide exact counts, but the vast open space supports substantial populations.

Should we treat the open yards and ground level as well as the roofs?

We focus on roofs and ledges where pigeons roost at night, but seasonal visits after heavy rain allow us to treat damp ground areas that harbour insects and seeds the birds feed on.

Will birds leave the area permanently or attempt to return?

If area conditions remain attractive (water and abundant insects), new flocks may attempt settlement. We recommend annual follow-up visits, especially after heavy rainfall.

Will installing deterrents interfere with warehouse workers or equipment operation?

No, we fit deterrents on roof edges and high areas away from work paths. Barriers are lightweight and translucent and do not affect daily operations.

How much does bird and pigeon control in Mughammas 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 Mughammas.
