Why they keep coming back in Shaab Amer Al Jadid

New homes in the scheme experience intense dust from construction sites and the large adjacent vacant plots, which continues without interruption as development spreads. The method is set out in full on the full Disinfection page.

The first reason

Wide vacant land raises both dust and moisture continuously

Large exposed areas around the scheme plots generate fine dust that enters homes through windows and small openings constantly, especially during north and east winds. Moisture from excavation and construction water rises from the ground around new villas. Disinfectant here needs higher concentration because dust continues to enter the home as long as the surrounding land remains open. No sealed barrier exists to stop contamination from outside.

The second reason

The wadi holds water and attracts insects and bacteria

Wadi Uranah runs through the scheme and collects water after rain, raising humidity around nearby villas and attracting insects and mosquitoes. Water-borne bacteria from the wadi can enter homes through drainage and small gaps. Disinfection needs higher concentration and more frequent cycles in villas close to the wadi. The standing water itself becomes a constant source of fresh contamination.

The third reason

New villas have multiple gaps and cracks from early stage construction

Homes still in early building phases have numerous small openings from electrical, water and gas pipes, and cracks between walls and foundations. These gaps provide easy pathways for insects and rodents. Disinfection kills pests that are present, but the fundamental solution is sealing the gaps before the homes are finished and handed over.

Before treatment

What we look at before the product is chosen

Lying south of Al Qararah Al Jadid between the Fifth Ring Road and the southern extension of Ibrahim Al Khalil Road, with vast open tracts between individual plots. Wadi Uranah runs through the heart of the scheme.

The touch points

Touch points, windows and outer surfaces in a new villa collect fine dust very quickly from the vacant land, and weekly cleaning is needed even before the regular disinfection programme begins.

Porous surfaces

Porous surfaces from new concrete and walls in the villa absorb dust and moisture deeply, requiring higher product concentration and much longer contact time.

The finish itself

New concrete floors shed fine particles and retain moisture, and the disinfectant must be left wet and have sufficient time to penetrate.

The filter and grille of an indoor air conditioning unit

The air conditioning unit

The new air conditioning unit may contain heavy construction dust in its filters, and cleaning before first use is essential.

Floor traps

Floor drains and water outlets in the new villa may collect soil and gravel from building, requiring cleaning before disinfection.

Shared entrances and stairs

The external entrance and boundary wall around the villa experience constant dust drift from vacant land, and pre-treatment to remove the surface layer improves the effectiveness of 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.

Landmarks of Shaab Amer Al Jadid

Access to the scheme runs north from the Fifth Ring Road or via the southern extension of Ibrahim Al Khalil Road. Wadi Uranah cuts visibly through the layout and creates the natural geography that separates individual plots and shapes how contaminants distribute across the scheme.

Questions about this district

The new villa collects dust from the surrounding bare land constantly. When should we disinfect?

During the first year of active construction around the villa, we recommend monthly disinfection, and fortnightly if winds are strong or building activity is intense nearby. Initial cleaning to remove dust before each treatment is essential because dust continues to enter from the surrounding land.

The villa is close to the wadi and humidity is very high. What should we do?

High wadi humidity increases the speed of mould and bacterial regrowth. We recommend drying the villa with strong fans and opening windows, then applying disinfectant at higher concentration, and treating every two weeks instead of monthly.

Do the small gaps from construction allow rodents and snakes to enter?

Yes, small openings around pipes and cables provide easy entry. We recommend inspecting the villa before occupancy and sealing any gap with engineering sealant or metal plates. Disinfection helps but physical closure is essential.

How many times per year should a new villa be disinfected in year one?

We recommend monthly disinfection in the first year, and fortnightly if intense building is happening nearby. Once building around the villa is complete, we move to a quarterly programme.

Can we disinfect while the villa is still under construction?

Disinfection is possible during building but the benefit is very temporary because construction will bring fresh contamination. We recommend waiting until interior and exterior building is complete, then a comprehensive disinfection, followed by a regular preventive programme.

The land around the villa is a large vacant plot. Should we disinfect that or only the house?

Disinfecting the vacant land around the villa is outside the scope of house disinfection, but we treat the ground immediately around the villa and external openings with high concentration. Sealing gaps and installing small screens on windows reduces how much contamination enters from the vacant land.

How much does disinfection in Shaab Amer 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 Shaab Amer Al Jadid.
