Bird and pigeon control in Wadi Jaleel Makkah

Wadi Jaleel is a valley district north east of Makkah, a powerful flood channel that has been developed with new housing schemes along Al Hajj Street and the Fourth Ring Road. Construction is ongoing and vacant plots scatter between new homes. Pigeons drift in from elsewhere, and building sites offer temporary shelter. Modern roofs do not hold nests easily, but pigeons return quickly unless deterrents are fitted early.

Why they keep coming back in Wadi Jaleel

Active construction sites provide soft ground and temporary shelter for pigeons, and powerful flash floods may cause rapid corrosion of metal deterrents where soil stays wet. The method is set out in full on what Bird and pigeon control involves.

The first reason

Construction sites providing temporary pigeon shelter

Active building sites offer water from mixing and washing, and sheltered spots from wind. Pigeons sleep there at night then spread to nearby completed homes. Treating houses alone may not work if the site is very close.

The second reason

Many vacant plots between the new homes

Vacant land offers open safe space for pigeons in daylight, whilst nearby roofs provide safe sleeping at night. Density is relatively low, so pigeons do not feel crowded.

The third reason

Powerful floods running down from the hills

The valley is an ancient flood channel, and heavy rain erodes soil and weak deterrents. Roofs may suffer moisture damage, and metal deterrents rust faster than in dry neighbourhoods.

Wadi Jaleel sits about 3 km from Qurtubah and about 3.5 km from Jabal Al Noor.

Before treatment

The building decides which deterrent works

A newly developing valley district among hills, with modern housing schemes on ground subject to powerful flash floods, vacant plots and active construction sites mixed with completed homes.

Ledge width

Modern roof edges usually have a square edge and flat roof surface, and deterrents fit relatively easily but need strong fastening against floods.

Outdoor condenser units on a building roof

Air conditioning platforms

Modern roof air conditioning drains through fixed pipes and may pool water in low spots on the roof.

The nest itself

Nests are rare on smooth modern roofs, but pigeons try to build quickly once they settle.

Bird droppings marking an exterior concrete wall

The droppings pattern

Droppings collect on the roof quickly because of the hard flat surface, and high pressure washing may damage the deterrents.

Openings and shafts

Modern openings are few, but windows may provide entry if left open or without covers.

Around the roof tank

The modern water tank usually sits underground or under a protective roof, and pigeons do not approach it.

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.

The character of Wadi Jaleel

New development: ongoing construction and vacant plots between the homes

New construction, scattered vacant plots and powerful floods together create a unique environment. Metal deterrents must be high quality and corrosion resistant, and work may need repeating if nearby building sites remain active.

Questions about this district

The construction site nearby has lots of pigeons and they always come to our roof. How do we stop that?

We coordinate with the site contractor to clean up waste regularly there, then fit strong deterrents on the house. We may need repeated treatment if the site is very close.

The ground beneath the roof is damp from floods. Does that damage the deterrents?

High moisture speeds metal corrosion. We use high quality stainless metal deterrents and ensure the site is cleared of water and mud.

The house is brand new and the roof is completely clean. Why did pigeons choose it so quickly?

Pigeons come from other areas or the building site, and a clean roof is a sign of safety. We coordinate with neighbouring house owners to treat everyone together.

There is a government building on the street. Does that affect how many pigeons come?

Government buildings supply food and shelter, but if we treat our roofs fast, pigeons may not settle.

The new roof gets high pressure water washing all the time. Will the deterrents hold up?

We use strong metal deterrents that resist water pressure. We advise against high pressure washing because of safety risk.

The neighbourhood will finish building and more people will move in. Will pigeons increase further?

Yes: more residents means more food waste. But finishing construction will remove temporary shelter, so treating now is better than waiting.

How much does bird and pigeon control in Wadi Jaleel 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 Wadi Jaleel.
