Bird and pigeon control in Yamamah Makkah

Yamamah is a mixed district outside the Haram boundary north of Al Sharai, stretching from King Faisal Road towards Al Jaranah Road. Villas and apartment buildings stand among many vacant plots, with the Al Shifa hills to the west and Al Qubbah Mosque on the eastern side, and building is still patchy and incomplete. Pigeons settle here because the district is ringed by hills providing natural shelter, vacant land offers water and food, and it sits north of Makkah at cooler altitude.

Why they keep coming back in Yamamah

Pigeons in Yamamah settle easily because the district is surrounded by hills and open space and abundant natural shelters. The method is set out in full on Bird and pigeon control in detail.

The first reason

Al Shifa Hills to the west provide natural shelter and permanent roosts

The Al Shifa hills on the western edge provide natural shelter for birds and animals. Pigeons sleep in the hills at night and drop to the district by day to hunt food and water. Close hills make the district highly attractive because natural shelter protects birds from predators and weather.

The second reason

King Faisal Road and Al Jaranah Road and their commercial traffic

King Faisal Road to the north and Al Jaranah Road to the south both carry commercial traffic with shops and restaurants. Pigeons feed on scraps and refuse on these roads and return to the district and hills to rest. Both roads provide constant food sources drawing pigeons to the district every day.

The third reason

Vacant plots and scattered building and temporary shelter

Yamamah has many vacant plots between houses and blocks, and building is patchy and incomplete. Building materials, excavations and scaffolding provide temporary shelter. The district is not yet full of residents, so pigeons feel safer and find many places to settle.

Landmarks of Yamamah

Work in Yamamah is positioned by reference to Al Qubbah Mosque on the eastern boundary, which provides a clear geographical anchor for location identification, and Al Shifa Hills to the west provide a prominent natural landmark known to all district residents.

Ledge width

Ledges on villas and apartment blocks in Yamamah are varied, broad on villas and narrow and shared on blocks.

Air conditioning platforms

Air conditioning units on homes and blocks provide robust platforms in multiple locations.

Nests form rapidly on villas and blocks because the district is ringed by natural shelter providing protection.

The droppings pattern

Droppings from nests fall on villa gardens, passages and shops, causing odours and damage.

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

Al Shifa Hills are very close. Do pigeons come from the hills every day?

Yes, absolutely. Pigeons sleep in the hills at night and drop to the district by day. A home close to the hills is highly attractive because pigeons walk a short distance. The deterrent on your home breaks their daily cycle, though the hills remain a constant pigeon source.

King Faisal Road is beside it and traffic is heavy. Is fitting work safe?

Yes, we fit deterrents on roofs and upper ledges well away from the street. We may coordinate if work requires action on the front facade facing the road, but it is completely safe.

Al Qubbah Mosque stands on the eastern edge. Does fitting affect the mosque?

No, fitting deterrents on your home does not affect the mosque. If the mosque has pigeon problems, that is separate treatment. Your deterrent reduces the overall pigeon population, benefiting the mosque as well.

Al Jaranah Road to the south has shops and a market. Do pigeons come from there?

Yes, Al Jaranah Road has shops and a market where pigeons feed. Some settle permanently there and migrate to the district. The district will remain pigeon attractive because the road provides constant food.

Vacant plots and scattered building surround the home. Does that increase pigeon attraction?

Yes, vacant plots and temporary shelters provide additional rest and nesting space. A home beside vacant land is more attractive to pigeons.

Will pigeons return after treatment while hills and roads are so close?

Pigeons may return because food sources and natural shelters are permanent. The deterrent protects your home from return, but the district will remain pigeon attractive while hills and commercial roads are nearby.

How much does bird and pigeon control in Yamamah 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 Yamamah.
