Why they keep coming back in Al Bashair

Vacant land and open sites in Al Bashair provide shelter for rodents and reptiles, and construction dust creates new pathways for insects to reach homes from the surrounding empty ground. The method is set out in full on our Disinfection service.

The first reason

Continuing construction dust clogs filters and drainage systems

Digging and building work at Al Bashair raises dust daily, which enters homes and clogs air conditioning filters and drains. The air conditioning drains water mixed with dust in one line, and dirt accumulates becoming a bacterial source. Disinfection requires continuous filter cleaning first before it can be effective.

The second reason

Vacant plots provide safe harbour for rodents

Vacant land between new Al Bashair villas contains wild plants, insects and rodents in large numbers. When a new house is built the temporary shelter is removed, and rodents migrate into the new homes. Insect and rodent control is an ongoing process and not a permanent solution in developing areas.

The third reason

New foundations hold construction moisture for a long time

New homes in Al Bashair are still damp from construction and concrete needs weeks to dry completely. High moisture provides ideal conditions for bacteria and fungi, and disinfection should be delayed until the building has dried out reasonably well or effectiveness is compromised.

Landmarks of Al Bashair

Al Bashair sits on Asfan Ring Road in north Jeddah with Al Bashair Park and Al Bashair Mosque marking the district boundaries between Al Furusiyah Road and Taybah, and the work covers new villas and apartment buildings distributed across the planned layout.

Before treatment

What we look at before the product is chosen

The district sits on inland ground away from the sea, dry and dusty, ringed by vacant plots, active building sites and incomplete subdivisions, with construction activity continuing around the edges constantly and dust covering everything.

The touch points

Touch points in Al Bashair include doors and windows and voids, all needing good sealing to prevent dust and contaminants entering from outside.

Porous surfaces

Porous surfaces in new homes are concrete and modern paint, but the concrete holds high moisture and absorbs contaminants easily.

The finish itself

The finish in new villas is modern and good, but paint may not be completely dry and disinfectant may not adhere well until the substrate has cured.

The air conditioning unit

Air conditioning units in Al Bashair are new but filters clog quickly from dust, regular cleaning is necessary before and after disinfection.

Floor traps

Floor traps in new homes are clean but may contain construction material and sand, pipes need cleaning before disinfection is applied.

Shared entrances and stairs

New villas are surrounded by open ground, so perimeter points around the house, foundations and external doors need specialist treatment to block insect entry from outside.

How we work

1
Walk the space and list the surfaces

We go through the rooms and mark the touch points, the porous surfaces and the finishes, then ask what prompted the call: illness at home, moving into a new place, building work, or a smell that arrived out of nowhere.
2
Clean what we are about to treat

We take the film of dust and grease off the surfaces that are in scope, so the product reaches the surface itself. This is preparation for the treatment, not general house cleaning.
3
Apply it, and hold the contact time

Hand work on the touch points, a product matched to each surface, and the surface left visibly wet for as long as that material needs before it is dried off. Cold fogging comes last, for what a cloth cannot reach.
4
Ventilate and hand back

We open the place up, rinse food preparation surfaces with water, and tell you when each room goes back into use. We give you that timing on the call, because it changes with the product and the space.

What a disinfection visit includes

A surface and touch point survey

What gets treated, and with what, settled before anything is opened.
Soil off first, then the disinfectant

The greasy film comes off first, then a product that stays wet for the contact time it needs.
Floor traps and the air conditioning drain

Floor traps, sink outlets and the drain tray, which is where most smells actually begin.
Cold fogging for the space

For upward faces and corners a cloth never reaches, done as the last thing before we leave a room.
Ventilation and use instructions

What gets rinsed with water, what is left alone, and when each room goes back into use.
A scheduled repeat when it is needed

For shared entrances and places people pass through every day, because a disinfectant leaves nothing behind to stop the next contact.

What is different about Taybah Sub-Municipality

Taybah sub municipality covers the newly built districts of north east Jeddah along Al Haramain Road and Asfan Road. New villas and apartment buildings stand among vacant plots, building sites and half finished subdivisions. Al Hamdaniyah is the oldest and densest part with its markets and shops, while Al Furusiyah, Al Bashair, Al Rahmaniyah, Al Falah and Al Salihiyah are mostly recent. The ground is inland and away from the sea, dry and dusty, rest houses, camps and stables on the fringes draw flies and crawling insects, and constant digging and construction stirs rodents out of the empty plots.

Questions about this district

The new villa in Al Bashair is dusty with construction contamination. When should we disinfect?

Thorough cleaning first to remove all construction dust from every surface, filter and corner, then wait a week until the building has dried from construction moisture, then comprehensive disinfection. Disinfecting without prior thorough cleaning fails because dust shields contamination from the disinfectant.

Do new homes in Al Bashair need disinfection?

Yes, new homes are exposed to dust and contaminants from surrounding construction sites. Even unused homes collect dust entering through cracks and openings. Disinfection before occupancy is necessary.

The air in Al Bashair is always dusty. Does disinfection solve the dust problem?

No, disinfection does not solve dust, it kills contamination. Dust is an air and environmental problem. You need regular filter and surface cleaning, and close windows during heavy construction activity.

The new villa is very damp. When does it dry out?

Concrete and paint take weeks to dry completely, especially if the weather is not dry. High moisture causes strange odours, good ventilation is necessary. Disinfection comes after humidity has dropped reasonably.

What is the difference between disinfecting a new villa and an old one in Al Bashair?

The new villa has construction moisture and construction dust, the old villa's environment is stable. Disinfection in the new villa requires extra cleaning and waiting for it to dry. Old villa treatment is simpler and more direct.

Insects are common in Al Bashair even in closed homes. Why is this?

Vacant plots around homes contain large insect populations, and the new house attracts them especially if it has light and water. Scheduled treatment and good sealing are necessary.

How much does disinfection in Al Bashair 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 Al Bashair.
