Why they keep coming back in Al Umrah Al Jadidah

The district has spacious gardens around villas and vacant plots very close by. Stray animals and rodents bring fleas into the gardens and homes. The method is set out in full on our Flea control service.

The first reason

Wide gardens and stray animal access

Villas have spacious gardens and open land surrounding them. Stray animals and rodents pass from vacant plots into gardens with ease, and fleas travel from the garden into the house.

The second reason

Vacant land and incomplete construction

Vacant plots around the district provide ideal shelter for animals, rodents and fleas. Ongoing building work attracts still more animals.

The third reason

Irrigation and garden moisture

New villas have modern irrigation and gardens stay damp year-round. Moisture and wet grass attract fleas from stray animals.

Before treatment

The resting places map the infestation

The newly developed district has wide spaces between homes with active building and vacant plots nearby. Stray animals and rodents inhabit the vacant land and incomplete construction.

The base of the carpet

Carpet base in the new villa may carry fleas from animals if there is infestation in the garden or nearby.

Where the animal sleeps

A pet may sleep on carpet beside the garden. Fleas from stray animals travel to its sleeping place.

Flea dirt

Flea dirt appears in dark corners beside furniture near the garden and windows.

Furniture edges and upholstery

Edges of new furniture sit close to the open garden. Fleas from the garden reach furniture easily.

Joints in a hard floor

Joints in new solid flooring may lie near the garden. Fleas from outside may enter through these joints.

Damp shade outdoors

Damp shade outside the house in the garden and around foundations attracts fleas from stray animals in vacant plots.

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 Umrah Sub-Municipality

Al Umrah sub municipality covers the north west of Makkah along the Madinah road and the old Jeddah road, from At Tanim and Masjid Aisha to An Nawwariyah. Its districts are the city's newest, villas and apartment blocks raised on wide schemes where large tracts in Al Umrah Al Jadidah, Al Fayha and Al Buhayrat remain vacant or under construction. Wadi Saraf and Wadi At Tanim run through it and rainwater gathers on unfinished schemes, ihram shops, restaurants and coach stops along the Madinah road serve a constant flow of pilgrims, and villas fill Al Hamra and Umm Al Jud.

Questions about this district

Is our large garden the flea source, or are they inside the house?

The spacious garden may be a source if stray animals enter it from vacant plots. Fleas on the animals spread to the house from the garden.

The fence between us and the neighbour is very weak. Must we repair it before treatment?

Yes. A weak fence allows animals to move between gardens. Fixing the fence reduces animal and flea entry from the neighbour's plot.

We have a pet living in the garden. Does it need treatment too?

Yes. Your pet may carry fleas from stray animals in the garden. Treatment covers the animal, garden and house together.

Two months after treatment, new fleas appeared from the neighbour's garden. How do we stop it?

The neighbour's garden may be a source if it harbours animals. Speak to the neighbour about treating their garden and seal the fence between plots.

The garden's irrigation keeps it damp all year. Does this worsen fleas?

Moisture and damp grass attract fleas from stray animals. Treatment may need to focus on the garden and the area surrounding the house.

Our new villa sits amid vacant plots. Where do the fleas come from?

Vacant plots shelter animals, rodents and fleas. Fleas reach the new house from these animals via the garden.

How much does flea control in Al Umrah Al Jadidah 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 Umrah Al Jadidah.
