Disinfection in Al Naseem, Jeddah

Targeted, not broadcast

Product goes into cracks and runways, never sprayed across open surfaces.
Told before we start

What we will use, where it goes, and what to cover or move before we arrive.
A follow-up visit

We return after the first treatment, because what survives it does not show on the day.
Homes and businesses

Apartments and villas, and kitchens and stores that need a record of each visit.

Why they keep coming back in Al Naseem

Crowded commercial streets and old popular quarters sit in the same district. Continuous traffic and market and restaurant waste raise pest levels constantly. The method is set out in full on the full Disinfection page.

The first reason

Old buildings with ageing drainage pipes

Dense old buildings have very old water and sewage pipes. Constant leaks provide permanent dampness and ideal conditions for cockroaches and mould.

The second reason

Restaurant waste and food contamination

King Fahd Road and Palestine Street carry many restaurants and markets. Food waste and odours attract cockroaches and rodents continuously.

The third reason

Old popular quarters with continuous traffic

A crowded district mixing villas, apartment blocks, old quarters, the Bani Malik market, car workshops and storerooms. Constant movement and contamination speed recontamination.

The character of Al Naseem

Mixed district: shops at street level with homes above them

In a mixed district of old buildings and commercial streets, disinfection faces a constant challenge: contaminants return from the street, restaurants and markets quickly. Protection requires sealing openings and separating residential spaces from contamination sources before disinfection.

Before treatment

What we look at before the product is chosen

Bounded by King Abdullah Road to the south and Bani Malik Street to the north, it holds the Imam Al Shafi'i Mosque, Al Sharq Park, a health centre and medical complexes. Dense old buildings line King Fahd Road and Palestine Street with markets and restaurants.

The touch points

Touch points in mixed old and new buildings are surrounded by gaps and cracks. Doors, handles and glass need deep cleaning.

Porous surfaces

Porous surfaces in old walls and concrete floors retain damp and contaminants for long periods.

The finish itself

Old finishes and peeling paint offer no protection. Cracks and gaps provide pathways for insects.

The air conditioning unit

Older air conditioning units carry dirt and mould in filters. Ventilation spreads contaminants from the street and restaurants.

Floor traps

Floor traps in old buildings may not work correctly. Stagnant water and mould are constant sources of smell.

Shared entrances and stairs

Shared entrances, stairs and passages carry accumulated dirt. Damp and corrosion make surface treatments ineffective.

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 Al Sharafiyah Sub-Municipality

The Al Sharafiyah sub municipality runs across central Jeddah from Al Ruwais near the Corniche eastwards through Al Sharafiyah, Al Wurud and Bani Malik to Al Naseem at the Haramain Road. It was among the first areas to grow beyond the old wall, and it is dominated by dense apartment blocks over shops along King Fahd Road and Palestine Street, with old popular quarters, the Bani Malik market, car workshops and storerooms. Ageing buildings, worn drainage and the refuse of restaurants and markets make cockroaches and rodents the most persistent pests, and humidity rises towards the sea.

Questions about this district

The pipes are very old and drainage does not work correctly, does disinfection help?

Disinfection kills present contaminants but leaks bring new ones. Actual drainage repair matters more than repeated disinfection.

The commercial street has many restaurants and markets, do smells and contaminants enter the house?

Yes. Restaurants and markets raise humidity and contaminants around properties. Air carries smells and insects easily.

Cockroaches are abundant because of markets and restaurants, is disinfection alone enough?

Disinfection kills existing cockroaches, but new contaminants and food sources from outside bring them back. Pest control is necessary.

The house is old among old districts, do cracks and gaps allow insects to enter?

Yes. Cracks and gaps in old walls provide direct pathways for insects. Sealing openings is essential before disinfection.

Car workshops and storerooms are very close, do they affect the residential house?

Workshops and stores raise contamination and dust levels around properties. Good ventilation is necessary alongside disinfection.

Does the nearby university affect contamination levels in the district?

The university does not affect directly, but high population density and continuous movement raise overall contamination.

How much does disinfection in Al Naseem 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 Naseem.
