Why they keep coming back in Uhud

Houses here are very widely spaced, so pigeons move between them with ease. Large distances between buildings mean that treating one house may not protect it from birds arriving from adjacent open areas feeding elsewhere. The method is set out in full on our Bird and pigeon control service.

The first reason

Open ground and the wadi supply food year round

Wadi Mudarraja carries seasonal water along the eastern edge. The open hilly ground around the scheme feeds pigeons constantly. Pigeons migrate from these natural areas to new buildings seeking safe nesting ledges and shelter from the weather.

The second reason

Scattered buildings make pigeon movement easy

Wide spacing between houses gives pigeons safe flight paths. Pigeons do not need to hop between close ledges; they fly easily from roof to roof. Treating one house may not protect it from birds arriving from open ground on another side.

The third reason

Nearby villages and rural zones increase pigeon pressure

Al Qubbah Mosque, villages and surrounding rural areas harbour stable pigeon populations. Birds migrate from these traditional sites to new buildings seeking nesting sites. Pressure rises seasonally when water and food become abundant in the open areas.

Before treatment

The building decides which deterrent works

The scheme holds planned plots and scattered houses near Al Qubbah Mosque. Wadi Mudarraja runs along the eastern edge and the hilly open ground is bounded by expressways. Open land and wide spacing between houses provide continuous grazing for pigeons.

Ledge width

New house ledges here are high and uniform, poured concrete, and take standard tall deterrent sizes.

Outdoor condenser units on a building roof

Air conditioning platforms

Window air conditioners on new houses sit on facades and can become perches if not treated early.

The nest itself

Nesting on new buildings starts on ledges facing vacant land and the wadi.

The droppings pattern

Droppings on fresh ledges are very visible against the light colour and draw more birds to the site.

Openings and shafts

Openings and balconies on new houses are complete before occupation and may let pigeons enter before families move in.

Roof tanks on new houses are tightly sealed, but pigeons perch on the surrounding ledge.

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 Uhud

Roof access in Uhud runs via Al Jaranah Road on the western side, where scattered houses sit across open plots. Deterrent fitting starts from ledges facing Wadi Mudarraja on the eastern edge and the zones around Al Qubbah Mosque, where pigeon pressure is highest.

Questions about this district

Does Al Qubbah Mosque beside us attract extra pigeons to the scheme?

Yes, the mosque and surrounding rural zones are traditional pigeon sites. Pigeons migrate from there to new buildings seeking safe nesting places. Treating buildings here focuses on stopping settlement by birds coming from rural areas.

Wadi Mudarraja is very close. Does it supply extra pigeons?

The wadi carries seasonal water and provides natural food for pigeons. When the channel dries out, birds seek water and food at buildings and gardens. Houses near the wadi face higher pressure especially during dry seasons.

Vacant plots around my house provide pigeon food. Can I fence them?

You cannot fence land you do not own. Treatment of your house focuses on ledge deterrents. If you can coordinate with neighbours, group treatment gives better protection overall.

Houses are very spread out. Will treating my house protect me from pigeons from the other side?

Treating one house protects that house, but pigeons may arrive from another vacant area. Treating neighbouring houses gives you better protection. Coordination with neighbours makes treatment more effective.

Is treatment different in a new scheme like this compared to old districts?

Yes, new buildings have uniform clean ledges. Open ground supplies steady food. Treatment uses standard deterrents on fresh ledges rather than repairing damage from old nests.

How many treatments per year does a new scheme like this need?

Open ground supplies constant food, so pigeon pressure stays high. One treatment in year one after fitting deterrents may suffice, but check-ups every six months are recommended.

How much does bird and pigeon control in Uhud 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 Uhud.
