Fly control in Al Adl Makkah

Al Adl is an eastward extension on King Faisal Road and the Fourth Ring Road, with apartment buildings and pilgrim housing blocks packed very close together surrounded by hills and wadis. Residential density is high and buildings share drainage and ventilation. Flies move between flats through shared openings, and the depth of wadis and moisture condensing on building faces provides constant dampness that accelerates fly development.

Why they keep coming back in Al Adl

In Al Adl, flies come from the adjoining wadis and from moisture condensing on hillside building faces, and flats close to one another receive flies from neighbours easily. The method is set out in full on the full Fly control page.

The first reason

High residential density and closely packed buildings

Apartment blocks sit extremely close together and flats are stacked on top of each other. Flies migrate between flats through shared openings and ventilation very easily, and treatment needs coordination between several flats at once.

The second reason

Adjoining wadis and hillside moisture

Wadis at the district edge provide constant humidity, and buildings on hillsides collect condensing moisture on their faces. This humidity provides ideal conditions for rapid fly development.

The third reason

Seasonal pilgrim housing and constant changeover

Hajj housing receives new pilgrim groups each season, and cleaning practices and behaviour differ from group to group. Flies return quickly because conditions change constantly and earlier treatment is undone.

The character of Al Adl

Apartment district: residential blocks, repeated floors and shared entrances

A flat in dense pilgrim housing means flies come from your neighbours rather than your own actions. A single flat cannot solve the whole neighbourhood's problem, and treatment needs coordination with neighbours and management.

Before treatment

Where the flies are actually coming from

The district sits on King Faisal Road and the Fourth Ring Road, bounded north by Jabal Al Nour, south by Al Rawdah and east by the holy sites, with dense building of apartments and pilgrim housing on hillside slopes.

House fly

The house fly in the dense hillside district develops fast because constant moisture from wadis and condensing on building faces never stops.

Blow fly

The blow fly appears especially during hajj seasons when human density peaks and waste generation rises.

Fermenting residue

Fermenting residue in wadis and crevices around buildings is the main source, and waste from seasonal housing makes it worse.

The bin base

The bin base in a dense district may sit far from the flat with bins collecting at specific points around the neighbourhood.

The film inside a drain

The film inside drainage in dense buildings is certain, with moisture running through it constantly from condensation and wadis.

How we work

1
Inspect and trace the source

We trace the flies back to their medium: waste and the bin area, floor traps, drain runs and any standing organic wetness, and we identify the species from its size, its flight and where it settles.
2
Treat the breeding medium

Washing and scouring bin bases and floor traps, and a foam that treats the film inside the pipe, because removing the medium is the only thing that stops production.
3
Treat the resting surfaces

A fly spends most of its time settled on ceilings, cables, the tops of walls and the sunlit wall outside the door, and that is where the residual and the bait go, not into the air.
4
Proofing and the follow-up

We close the ways in and sort out the screens and the doors, then come back on a date matching the emergence of the pupae that were already in the medium on the first visit.

What fly control includes

A source tracing inspection

The species, the breeding medium and the route in, established before anything is applied.
Drains and floor traps

Scouring the film stuck inside the pipe and treating it with foam, which is where drain flies come from and almost nowhere else.
Residual on the resting surfaces

Ceilings, cables, the tops of walls and the sunlit wall outside the door, kept off food preparation surfaces.
Fly bait in protected positions

An attractant bait set at bin areas and service entrances, out of reach of children and pets and away from food.
Aftercare instructions

Ventilation, what to cover, and what needs a screen, an air curtain or a different waste routine.
A scheduled follow-up

A set date matching the emergence of the pupae, and re-treatment of any source still producing.

What is different about Al Maabdah Sub-Municipality

Al Maabdah sub municipality climbs from Al Abtah and Al Jumayzah beside the Al Mualla cemetery up through Al Khansa and Rai Adhakhir to Al Adl, Jabal Al Nour, Wadi Jaleel and Qurtubah on the outer ring roads. It mixes hotels and pilgrim housing near the Grand Mosque with old popular houses on hillside passes, new housing schemes on valley floors that carry flash floods after rain, and industrial plots, workshops and warehouses along Al Hajj Street in Qurtubah. Street widening and expropriation leave partly demolished frontages in Al Khansa.

Questions about this district

Does hillside moisture and the wadis increase fly numbers in Al Adl?

Yes, significantly. Wadis provide continuous humidity and buildings on slopes collect condensing moisture on their surfaces, speeding fly development.

Is treating just the flat enough in a district with such high residential density?

No, flies will move from neighbouring flats. Treatment must include the flat, the adjoining buildings and shared openings together.

Do pilgrims and tourists in seasonal housing cause more fly problems than usual?

Yes, each new hajj season brings different cleaning habits and sanitation practices, and flies exploit these changes.

How many treatments per year does a dense pilgrim housing area like Al Adl need?

At least before each hajj season, and during the season every three weeks or so if density is high.

Do flies from the wadis and hills never stop coming to the district?

They never completely stop, but regular treatment and focus on the buildings reduces their numbers sharply.

Can we treat the wadis and natural areas around Al Adl?

Treating wadis is the municipality's responsibility, but our focus is protecting the buildings and flats from incoming flies.

How much does fly control in Al Adl 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 Adl.
