Bird and pigeon control in Usaylah Makkah

Usaylah is a new residential suburb west of Al Sharai and north of the Fourth Ring Road, a large master plan mixing new villas and apartment blocks on open hilly ground. Many vacant plots and open building sites provide water and repeated shelter for pigeons. New buildings stand underoccupied and roofs are empty, making nesting very quick on any unguarded roof.

Why they keep coming back in Usaylah

Pigeons on new ground are very mobile and move easily between building sites and incomplete buildings. The method is set out in full on what Bird and pigeon control involves.

The first reason

A very wide suburb scheme with many vacant plots between buildings

Wide empty plots offer safe open routes for pigeons to move easily from building to building. Deterrents on one building are useless if empty plots close by provide intermediate shelter.

The second reason

Open hilly ground provides natural water and shelter very close by

Surrounding hills offer caves and natural crevices for wild birds. Pigeons move easily from the hills to new buildings. Treating roofs may need a strategy that recognises the closeness of natural shelter.

The third reason

New and modern roofs on a scheme still sparsely occupied

New buildings have clean empty and very safe roofs. Residents are still moving in slowly and most roofs stand empty most of the time. Pigeons choose nesting locations with ease.

Before treatment

The building decides which deterrent works

Open hilly ground lies between Wadi Jalil, Al Muaysim and Badr, with the Fourth Ring Road separating the scheme from older neighbourhoods.

Roof edges on new villas and blocks in Usaylah are wide and smooth, making deterrent fitting easy.

Nesting on new buildings is sparse at first but spreads rapidly if not treated.

The droppings pattern

Droppings on new roofs show quickly and attract birds from nearby building sites.

Openings and shafts

Missing windows and openings on incomplete buildings allow pigeons easy interior access before finishing.

New roof tanks often sit uncovered, leaving them exposed to contamination from perching birds.

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 Sharai Sub-Municipality

Al Sharai is the eastern growth front of Makkah along King Faisal Road and the Taif road. Settled quarters sit beside recently renamed schemes where plots are still vacant and buildings are going up, so construction sites, fill and open excavations lie next to occupied homes. Wadi channels such as Wadi Mudarraja, Wadi Al Sharai and Wadi Al Mughammas carry flash floods after rain and dry out to damp silt, while dust blows off the open hills. Roadside shops, restaurants and warehouses line the Taif road, and to the east the area shades into villages, palm farms and springs.

Questions about this district

Do the vacant plots in Usaylah provide pigeons with safe routes to move between buildings?

Yes. Large open spaces create safe unobstructed passages. Pigeons move easily from villa to villa without touching the ground. Comprehensive treatment of adjacent villas is necessary.

Are the surrounding hills and slopes a permanent source of wild birds for Usaylah?

Yes. Hill caves and crevices provide permanent natural shelter. But the resident pigeon population comes from the city and migrates to new roofs. Roof treatment stops the migration.

Do incomplete and empty buildings attract more pigeons than occupied ones?

Far more. They are quiet and safe. Pigeons choose an empty roof before a family moves in to use it. Early treatment before occupancy stops nesting.

Should villas and apartment blocks in Usaylah be treated the same way?

No. Detached villas have limited roof area and shared blocks have communal roofs. Villas need deterrents on at least two edges, blocks need comprehensive treatment of the shared roof and all balconies.

Are open building sites a source of water and ongoing shelter for pigeons?

Yes. Water, materials and timber supply all pigeon needs. Clearing materials and closing a site stops pigeons from settling there.

Can we treat a single villa in Usaylah without treating the villas nearby?

The villa is protected, but pigeons move to the neighbour. Coordinating with surrounding villas gives much better results.

How much does bird and pigeon control in Usaylah 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 Usaylah.
