Rest houses and farms in Al Aziziyah Makkah
Al Aziziyah sits on the pilgrims' road towards Mina, a comparatively modern commercial district of hotel towers, markets and pilgrim lodgings served by coach terminals. It swells during Ramadan and Hajj. Insects follow the movement, the food waste and the crowds, and because the buildings are newer and the spaces more open, control is faster than in old districts with cracks and hidden voids.
-
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 Aziziyah
The buildings and hotels are relatively recent and have fewer foundation problems, but the massive seasonal movement of visitors and the volume of waste means pressure comes from outside more than from within the buildings. The method is set out in full on our Rest houses and farms service.
High hotel towers with thousands of guests during Hajj and Umrah seasons
Hotels fill completely, with several guests per room. Restaurants and cafes run at peak capacity, and mosquitoes and flies breed in the drains and standing water around the hotel grounds.
Mahbas Al Jinn coach station moves dozens of coaches and thousands of people daily
The station generates vast food waste, bags and boxes. Flies and mosquitoes breed rapidly in the refuse, rodents hunt discarded food, and pests spread from the station to neighbouring hotels.
Markets and shops sell food, clothes and goods, and their waste lies in the street
Markets shed food waste and water daily. Cleaning sometimes fails. Pests find a constant food store. Treatment must reach the markets and streets, not only the hotels.
Al Aziziyah on the map
The site decides the shape of the programme
Al Aziziyah sits higher than the Haram and slopes towards it. King Abdulaziz Road and Al Masjid Al Haram Road cut across it, the coach station gathers pilgrims and visitors, and direct sunlight falls on bare ground with little shade to cool it.
The foot of the wall
Hotel foundations are relatively recent and present fewer problems, but cracks and pipework around entry points need insect barriers and treatment. Outside pressure means visits must continue.
Frond and block piles
Rubbish and waste accumulate around the hotel and station, and water pools in low places. Daily cleanliness and regular removal of waste prevent pests settling.
Standing water
Water pools at doorways and low spots around the hotel after rain. Mosquitoes breed rapidly. Treatment tracks these sites, drains and water tanks.
The feed store
Restaurants and cafes within the hotel hold large food stores, and drains carry water and oil. Regular cleaning and secure storage are essential.
Pens and bedding
Hotels operate day and night, and insects hide in darkness and quiet spaces. Night-time trapping and treatment require precision timing.
The building that stays shut
The hotel may close during slow periods between seasons. The programme can pause, but a pre-season visit is essential to prepare for new guests.
How we work
-
1
Walk the site and number the points
We walk the boundary, the feed store, the pens, the water sources and the buildings, record the species present, the burrows, the entry points and every standing water source, and number the monitoring positions on a plan.
-
2
Lift what things hide under
The piles, the rubble, the fallen dates, the feed sacks pushed up against the wall. On any large plot these gather simply because there is room for them, and clearing them brings the numbers down before a single product is used.
-
3
The perimeter band and targeted treatment
A band at the foot of the wall and the buildings, treatment into the burrows and cracks, locked rodent stations fixed along the route, and mosquito breeding sites treated in the water itself.
-
4
Scheduled visits and a sheet each time
We come back on an agreed schedule, read the same points, renew the band the sun and the irrigation have used up, and write down what was found, what was applied and where, and what the site needs closed.
What the rest house and farm programme includes
-
A site walk and a map of the points
The boundary, the buildings, the pens and the water sources, and a plan with the monitoring positions numbered before anything is installed.
-
Water sources treated at the source
Drinking troughs, drip lines, tank outlets and anything that stands for days, because mosquitoes come out of water and not out of the air.
-
A treated band at the perimeter
The foot of the wall, the building bases and the path edges, which is the line anything coming off the open ground has to cross.
-
Locked rodent stations
Fixed and numbered along one route, and closed so that neither a child's hand nor an animal on the site can get into them.
-
What the site does afterwards
What to cover, where to move animal water bowls, when irrigation can start again without washing the band off, and the ventilation time, which we give you on the call because it changes with the product and the space.
-
Scheduled visits and a record
A schedule agreed ahead of the seasons, the same points read every time, and a record of what was found, what was treated and what is still open.
The character of Al Aziziyah
Commercial area: offices, showrooms and small stores
Commercial areas mean offices, showrooms and small stores where food is handled and waste is common. Pests hunt for food and water in these spaces. Pressure comes from the street and the adjoining station, so treatment focuses on boundaries, doors and windows more than on interiors.
Questions about this district
The hotel is full and pests come in every day. Can treatment work while the hotel is operating?
Treatment can occur with guests present; the products are safe. But outside pressure is constant, and frequent visits throughout the season are necessary.
The coach station is right next to us. How do we protect the hotel from station waste?
Boundaries, doors and windows need insect barriers, and chemical treatment kills what enters. Coordination with station management to improve cleanliness helps.
The hotel has a children's play area and arcade games. Is treatment safe there?
Products are safe after spraying and drying. Play areas and games are covered during treatment. Children do not enter treated areas until they are dry.
The season is busy now and the hotel is full. When can we start treatment?
Treatment begins at once and occurs at times like dawn and late night when guests sleep. Frequent visits during the season are necessary.
We treated last season and pests came back this season. Why?
Outside pressure from the station and markets reintroduces pests. Treatment alone is not enough. Boundaries and doors need continuous inspection, and new sources may have appeared.
Does the programme differ during Ramadan and Hajj from ordinary days?
Yes. Movement increases and waste increases. The programme shifts to more frequent visits and stronger focus during the season.
How much does rest houses and farms in Al Aziziyah 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 Aziziyah.
