Why they keep coming back in Al Hajlah Al Jadid

Every new home here is ringed by vacant plots, building sites, sports pitches and open workshops, meaning re-infestation sources stay close to the perimeter long after disinfection is done. The method is set out in full on Disinfection in detail.

The first reason

Open building sites are a constant rodent magnet

Exposed foundation pits and stacked construction materials between villas offer shelter to rodents, scorpions and snakes before the neighbourhood completes. Disinfection here buys temporary protection; the neighbourhood itself is the continuing source of reinfestation.

The second reason

Wadi Uranah brings moisture and silt upward

The wadi channel holds standing water after rain, meaning moisture reaches homes from below the soil surface and penetrates foundations. A disinfectant applied to the surface cannot treat groundwater rising from beneath.

The third reason

Vacant plots are re-infestation zones

Granted land parcels with few residents nearby stay open to movement from surrounding areas. Insects and reptiles return from these sites within weeks of disinfection, brought on the air and through soil passages.

The character of Al Hajlah Al Jadid

New development: ongoing construction and vacant plots between the homes

Ongoing construction means that sources of contamination outside the home are permanent, so disinfection here protects a house fresh from building, not the wider neighbourhood.

Before treatment

What we look at before the product is chosen

A developing area on open ground between Jabal Labinah and the Fifth Ring Road, with low-lying zones that hold water after rain and naturally attract insects and rodents before settlement.

The touch points

Touch points in a newly built house carry construction dust and dead insects; deep cleaning must come before disinfection reaches any depth.

Porous surfaces

Fresh concrete is highly absorptive, so the disinfectant must stay wet longer to penetrate adequately rather than drying on a dusty surface.

The finish itself

New paint accepts disinfectant well, but embedded construction dust on walls must be removed first or it blocks contact with the painted surface.

The filter and grille of an indoor air conditioning unit

The air conditioning unit

The new air conditioning unit often contains debris from installation, and its drain outlet must be cleaned before disinfection to avoid trapping contamination inside the system.

Floor traps

Floor traps in a new house may be empty or filled with construction dust, meaning they need deep rinsing before disinfection reaches the pipe below.

Shared entrances and stairs

Shared entrances in the rare apartment blocks here may not have been cleaned since completion, so stairs need special treatment before general disinfection.

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 South Makkah Sub-Municipality

South Makkah sub municipality is the belt of Crown Prince schemes south of Al Ukayshiyah, along the Al Laith road and the extension of Ibrahim Al Khalil Road to the Fifth Ring Road and the Non Muslims bypass. Most of it is still bare: granted plots awaiting houses, new villas standing alone, open building sites and unfinished paving and drainage. Wadi Uranah and its tributaries cross the low ground and hold water after rain, hills close it in, and rodents, reptiles and scorpions shelter in stacked materials and foundation pits before the neighbourhoods fill up.

Questions about this district

Does disinfection protect against pests coming from active building sites?

Disinfection kills what is in your home now, but foundation pits and exposed materials around the neighbourhood provide permanent entry routes. The house is clean; the district around it teems with insects and rodents that will return.

How often should a new villa near open excavations be disinfected?

New homes in Al Hajlah Al Jadid face constant pressure from their surroundings. One disinfection protects for weeks, but if you are beside active foundation work, a second treatment before the season ends may be worth planning.

Does groundwater moisture from the wadi reduce the disinfectant's effectiveness?

Wadi Uranah raises soil moisture after rain, meaning foundations draw up damp. The disinfectant works on surfaces, but rising moisture from below carries odours and mould with it, separate from the treated layer.

Is it worth disinfecting a brand new villa before moving in?

Yes, because the new house carries construction dust and the insects that colonised the site during building. Deep cleaning followed by disinfection gives a genuinely fresh start, though the neighbourhood will begin recontaminating it slowly.

Does the disinfection cover foundations and gaps below floor level?

We treat visible cracks and gaps below flooring. Moisture rising through the soil around the house remains a separate problem that surface disinfectants cannot solve. Foundation perimeter treatment is worth discussing separately.

What if insects appear a month after disinfection?

Pests appearing a month later came from outside, not from the old infestation returning. The neighbourhood itself is the source. Contact us to inspect entry points: cracks, gaps and door thresholds where they are getting in.

How much does disinfection in Al Hajlah Al Jadid 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 Hajlah Al Jadid.
