Flea control in Al Shubaikah Al Jadid Makkah

Al Shubaikah Al Jadid is Crown Prince schemes three and four in the south along the Al Laith road, with new villas standing among empty plots on wide streets and scattered building. The vast vacant land and ongoing work offer temporary shelter, and Wadi Uranah and its tributaries lie beneath holding water after rain, while hills such as Jabal Labna and the Kasab mountains close it in. Rodents, reptiles and scorpions carry fleas from the wild lands around to the new villas easily.

Why they keep coming back in Al Shubaikah Al Jadid

New villas standing alone among vast empty plots quickly become a refuge for fleas from wild animals coming down from the surrounding hills and wadis. The method is set out in full on how we approach Flea control.

The first reason

Jabal Kasab and Jabal Labna harbour wild animals moving down

The hills surrounding the new neighbourhood hold foxes, rabbits, scorpions and reptiles. As building approaches and wild land shrinks, these animals move to new villas carrying fleas. The distance from hill to new villa is very short.

The second reason

Wadi Uranah holds moisture and shelters animals below

Wadi Uranah beneath the new neighbourhood retains water after rain, creating a damp environment for rodents and reptiles. Fleas on these animals reach the villas easily when seeking new hosts.

The third reason

Vast empty plots and ongoing building offer temporary shelter

Large empty plots, stacked materials and gaps offer temporary rodent and insect shelter. As building completes and homes fill, these animals move to the newly occupied villas.

Before treatment

The resting places map the infestation

Most is still bare land: granted plots awaiting houses, new villas standing alone, open building sites and unfinished paving and drainage, and Wadi Uranah holds water after rain.

The base of the carpet

The new carpet base in the villa absorbs moisture from Wadi Uranah and the empty plots around it.

Where the animal sleeps

A new pet in the villa may carry fleas from wild animals in the hills and empty plots.

Flea dirt

Flea dirt shows around where the pet rests and at entry points and windows.

Furniture edges and upholstery

Edges of new furniture may harbour fleas carried by wild animals to the new villa.

Joints in a hard floor

Joints in new flooring may have gaps around utilities allowing rodents to enter from outside.

Damp shade outdoors

Damp shade in Wadi Uranah and empty plots is ideal shelter for rodents, scorpions and reptiles.

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 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

The new villa stands amid empty plots, where do fleas come from?

Empty plots shelter wild animals, rodents and reptiles. Their fleas transfer to the new villa when seeking a new host. The new villa is quick to exposure to fleas.

The hills are very close to the villa, do fleas come from there?

Yes, Jabal Kasab and Jabal Labna are very close to the new villa. Wild animals from the hills move to the new villa carrying fleas.

Wadi Uranah lies beneath the villa, does it carry fleas?

Wadi Uranah holds water after rain and shelters rodents. Rodent fleas reach the villa when seeking new hosts.

Building is ongoing around the villa, does it affect flea activity?

Ongoing building disturbs wild animals and drives them to the new villa. Building gaps and openings offer easy rodent entry.

The villa foundation is modern and sealed, why are there fleas?

Modern foundations are sealed but utility gaps and openings offer entry. Wild animal fleas find their way inside.

Is a new villa less at risk of fleas than an old house?

New villas are less at risk of established fleas but proximity to wild animals means new fleas from outside. Caution about strays and new furniture is important.
