Flea control in Al Rusayfah Makkah

Al Rusayfah sits on the third ring road west of Makkah as an orderly new district with villas, apartment blocks and wide planned spaces. The Haramain railway station and the Jeddah expressway entrance on its edge bring constant movement of visitors and workers. Large medical complexes admit patients and families from across the city and beyond, whilst the tidy paved surfaces and planned layout offer natural protection, but cavities beneath new foundations offer hidden flea shelter.

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 Rusayfah

Constant movement of visitors, workers and patients through the medical complexes means that fleas arriving from outside the district may enter via clothing and luggage. The method is set out in full on our Flea control service.

The first reason

Medical complexes draw fleas from every district

Hospital, clinic and medical centre staff, patients and families arrive from across Makkah and beyond. Visitors may carry dormant fleas in their clothes or belongings, and the complex can become a distribution point for new infestations in the surrounding neighbourhood.

The second reason

Railway station and expressway bring relentless visitor flow

Haramain railway station and the Makkah Jeddah expressway entrance mean unceasing movement of visitors and workers. Baggage and clothing arriving from trains and cars may carry fleas from distant places.

The third reason

Cavities beneath new apartment foundations harbour fleas

New buildings on new foundations may contain small cavities beneath the base where fleas arriving with recycled building materials or in the soil can shelter. These pockets are hard to reach but offer safe refuge for dormant fleas.

Before treatment

The resting places map the infestation

An ordered new district on a wide planned scheme with modern paving and new infrastructure, new apartment foundations with gaps that may contain fleas from recycled building materials or animals passing through.

The base of the carpet

Carpet base in villas and blocks may receive fleas from cavities beneath new foundations.

Where the animal sleeps

Strays are uncommon in the orderly district but may sleep in shaded corners around new buildings.

Flea dirt

Flea dirt may accumulate in cavities beneath new foundations and tight gaps between walls.

Furniture edges and upholstery

Furniture edges in new villas and blocks may receive fleas from visitors and workers.

Joints in a hard floor

Hard floor joints of the modern paving are relatively safe but gaps around foundations are at risk.

Damp shade outdoors

Damp shade around new apartment foundations and enclosed cavities beneath them offer flea shelter.

How we work

1
Inspect and confirm

We confirm it is fleas rather than another biting insect, and fix the animal's sleeping points, its routes and the shaded ground outside. Where there is no animal in the house, we look for the host they came from.
2
Treat the floors and soft furnishings

A residual with an insect growth regulator, worked into the carpet base, the floor and wall junction and the edges under furniture. The regulator stops a larva becoming an adult, which is what breaks the cycle.
3
The host and the shade outside

We treat the shaded ground and the outdoor lying spots, and we agree with you that the animal's veterinary treatment happens on the same day, because any host left out of the job re-seeds the floor.
4
Vacuuming, then the follow-up visit

Repeated vacuuming vibrates the floor and draws the pupae out onto a treated surface. We come back about two weeks later to take the emerged generation before it lays.

What flea control includes

Confirmation before anything is applied

Telling a flea bite from the alternatives, and fixing the resting places and the centre of the infestation.
Carpet base and floor line treatment

A residual and a growth regulator worked down into the pile and under furniture edges, not laid across the visible surface.
Shade and damp outdoors

The shaded patches by entrances and around drains and taps, the only ground outside where larvae survive.
The source when there is no pet

Stray cats sheltering under an outside stair, or rodents in the voids, each handled on a different footing.
The vacuum schedule and aftercare

When to vacuum, how to empty the machine, and why the carpet is not steam cleaned afterwards. Ventilation time we give you on the call, because it changes with the product and the space.
A follow-up timed to emergence

A date about two weeks on, timed to the pupae leaving the cocoons, and re-treatment of any room where fresh bites are still starting.

What is different about Al Misfalah Sub-Municipality

Al Misfalah sub municipality runs downhill from the south of the Grand Mosque through Al Misfalah, Kudai and Al Rawabi to Al Taqwa, Al Hindawiyah, Al Khalidiyah and Al Rusayfah at the third ring road. The northern end is old apartment blocks and pilgrim hotels with restaurants along Ibrahim Al Khalil Street and the huge coach parks at Kudai. The south and west are dense popular districts with countless small shops and unplanned hillside housing, some of it already cleared for redevelopment, giving way to orderly land grant schemes in Al Rusayfah beside the railway station.

Questions about this district

The large hospital next door, do fleas keep coming from there?

Hospitals can harbour fleas but patients and visitors from across the city bring them too. Routine treatment prevents fresh infestation.

The high speed railway station is very close. Do arriving visitors carry fleas to us?

Visitors arriving from other stations may carry dormant fleas, but good treatment of home boundaries stops outside fleas from entering.

The district is very new and all buildings are new. How did fleas arrive?

Recycled building materials or workers and visitors may bring fleas in, and cavities beneath new foundations may offer shelter.

Cavities under the foundation of our new home, do fleas hide there?

Yes, cavities beneath new foundations can shelter fleas. Treatment of the home perimeter and foundation gaps is essential.

The expressway is beside us. Does traffic carry fleas our way?

The road itself does not carry fleas but workers and visitors arriving in vehicles may bring them in their luggage.

Does this new orderly district need routine treatment?

One treatment may suffice, but with constant visitor and patient flow, routine treatment every six months prevents fresh infestation.

How much does flea control in Al Rusayfah 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 Rusayfah.
