Bird and pigeon control in Taybah Jeddah

Taybah is a newly built northern district near Wadi Obhur, with land subdivisions and villas still under construction along Asfan Road. The district is very recent and buildings remain unfinished while vacant plots are everywhere. Humidity runs high because of Wadi Obhur and the nearby sea. Pigeons find new untouched roof surfaces and construction worker scraps and water from uncontrolled garden irrigation. The real problem here is not old nests but new positions being occupied daily.

Why they keep coming back in Taybah

Humidity from Wadi Obhur and water spilled from new gardens makes the environment favourable for birds. The district is so new that pigeons have never faced defences here, so they settle easily. The method is set out in full on the full Bird and pigeon control page.

The first reason

Wadi Obhur and elevated year round humidity

Wadi Obhur beside Taybah supplies continuous moisture and seasonal water flows. High humidity creates favourable conditions for birds, insects and parasites. The pigeon senses the water and humidity and arrives in larger numbers. Treatment must include strong parasite control because of elevated moisture.

The second reason

Constant construction and abundant vacant plots

Land subdivisions under construction provide temporary shelter and pigeons move seeking safe positions. New roofs are completely undefended and the pigeon settles easily before construction finishes. The deterrent must go up before the pigeon becomes established.

The third reason

Water from garden irrigation and leaks on new landscaping

New gardens and lawns demand heavy watering and leaks and water pooling are common. Pigeons drink and bathe in standing water. Stagnant water hosts small insects that birds feed on.

The character of Taybah

New development: ongoing construction and vacant plots between the homes

A newly developed district means defences do not yet exist and pigeons find easy positions. Humidity from the wadi creates favourable conditions for parasites as well. The deterrent must be extremely strong from the start and treatment must prioritise parasite control because of the elevated moisture.

Before treatment

The building decides which deterrent works

A new northern district near Wadi Obhur which raises humidity levels, with land subdivisions under construction, villas and apartment buildings still being built, and irrigation water seeping onto streets and into new gardens.

A narrow concrete projection on a building facade

Ledge width

Ledges on new villas are uniform because construction is recent, buildings are similar and roofs are clean.

Outdoor condenser units on a building roof

Air conditioning platforms

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

The nest itself

Nests are extremely rare in the new district, but the pigeon tries to build on unoccupied roofs.

Bird droppings marking an exterior concrete wall

The droppings pattern

Debris from construction is heavy, but bird droppings are light because pigeon settlement is still new.

Openings and shafts

Openings are limited on new buildings, and pigeons may use balconies and open windows.

Around the roof tank

New roof tanks are well covered by design, but the surrounding area remains a bird's choice for perching.

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 Dhahban Sub-Municipality

Dhahban sub municipality is the northern coastal strip of Jeddah, running from the north bank of Sharm Obhur up to the old village of Dhahban and Salman Bay. Its districts are recently built, with owner occupied villas and apartments, beach resorts and chalets on the shore, and land subdivisions still being developed. Nearness to the sea keeps humidity high all year, irrigated lawns in villas, resorts and district parks hold water, Wadi Obhur and the vacant plots between buildings give rodents and reptiles shelter, and the old fishing village of Dhahban gives the far north a rural edge.

Questions about this district

Are new roofs different from old ones in how the deterrent is fastened?

Very much. New roofs are stronger and in better condition. Fixing on a new roof is stronger and longer lasting than fixing on an old one.

Does water spilled from new gardens attract other bird species too?

Yes, water attracts small birds and finches. But pigeons are the main problem. The deterrent should focus on pigeons first.

How do you handle waste left by construction workers on the site?

We ask the contractor to clean the site before fitting begins. Worker waste on the site attracts pigeons powerfully. Full cleaning is essential.

Will pigeons return immediately if a site is left undefended for a short time?

Yes, very quickly. In a newly built district that has never seen defences, birds return fast. Installation must follow cleaning immediately.

How do wind speeds affect the deterrent in this open newly built area?

The district is open and winds are strong. The deterrent must withstand strong gusts. Fixing must be absolutely tight.

Does cleaning the site need regular follow up visits afterward?

Yes, a newly built district may see repeated construction activity. Regular follow up is needed to maintain results.

How much does bird and pigeon control in Taybah 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 Taybah.
