Fly control in Al Andalus Makkah

Al Andalus is a residential and commercial district within Al Utaybiyah, with apartment buildings and furnished flats let to pilgrims, sitting between the Third Ring Road and Hajun Street north of the Grand Mosque. Small mosques and shops are scattered throughout, and its nearness to Souq Al Utaybiyah exposes it to fly migration from busy markets and crowded hotels.

Why they keep coming back in Al Andalus

Small hotels and furnished flats in Al Andalus house rotating groups of pilgrims. Each new group leaves fresh food waste, keeping fly sources continuously active. The method is set out in full on what Fly control involves.

The first reason

Small hotels and furnished flats keep fly sources continuously active

Al Andalus holds dozens of small hotels and furnished flats for pilgrims. Each new group leaves food scraps and human waste. The source renews constantly with every season.

The second reason

Proximity to Souq Al Utaybiyah brings flies in from outside the district

Souq Al Utaybiyah borders the district. Flies migrate from the market into the neighbourhood. Treating the district alone is insufficient without treating the source.

The third reason

Many small mosques and shops complicate treatment across the zone

Small mosques and shops scattered through Al Andalus make treatment complex. Each mosque opens to flies daily and every food shop leaves scraps.

Before treatment

Where the flies are actually coming from

A residential and commercial district north of the Haram between the Third Ring Road and Hajun Street, holding apartment blocks, furnished flats and small hotels close to a popular market.

House fly

House flies breed quickly in Al Andalus in hotels and furnished flats because guests rotate and waste renews.

Blow fly

Blow flies appear near shops, restaurants and mosques where food and visitors are concentrated.

Fermenting residue

Food scraps in hotels and flats ferment fast in closed rooms and bathrooms.

The bin base

Hotel and flat bin bases collect fluids and scraps that accumulate.

Drains in mosques, shops and hotels carry diverse food scraps.

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.

Questions about this district

Does having flies in a furnished flat mean it is not clean?

Not necessarily. The flat may be clean but pilgrims rotate through it constantly. Flies come from the hotel and surroundings, not the flat.

Is the entire district treated or just the hotels and flats?

Treatment covers hotels, flats, shops, mosques and common areas. Flies move between all these places.

Is Souq Al Utaybiyah responsible for flies in Al Andalus?

The market is a major fly source for the district. Flies migrate from the market into the neighbourhood. Treatment must account for the market's proximity.

How often must a small hotel in Al Andalus be treated?

A small hotel in Hajj season needs treatment every five to seven days. Outside season, fortnightly may be enough.

Do flies easily move from the hotels to homes nearby?

Yes, easily. Flies from hotels and shops move to homes. Treatment must cover the whole zone, not single buildings.

Are the small mosques in the district a source of flies?

Mosques are a secondary source because they gather people and waste. Open doors all day let flies in and out.

How much does fly control in Al Andalus 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 Andalus.
