Fly control in Al Asalah Jeddah
Al Asalah is a small recently established district in the far north of Jeddah between Madinah Road and the Haramain expressway, close to King Abdullah Sports City. Villas and apartment buildings are still being built out across the planned plots. Wadi Obhur passes through the district and it borders Al Falah, Al Hamdaniyah, Taibah and Al Firdaws. Some streets are not yet paved and the drainage network is incomplete. Flies are drawn to construction water, new gardens and the nearby wadi.

A follow-up visit
We return after the first treatment, because what survives it does not show on the day.

Why they keep coming back in Al Asalah
Fly populations concentrate around active building work and irrigated gardens, moving freely between scattered new villas. The method is set out in full on Fly control in detail.
Ongoing construction work provides continuous water sources
Villas and apartment buildings under construction offer open pits, foundations and construction water. Damp building resources create continuous breeding opportunities throughout the build phase.
Wadi Obhur carries seasonal water and organic silt
Wadi Obhur flows heavily in winter and spring, depositing organic silt and leaving permanent dampness in low spots near homes. Flies move easily from the wadi into adjacent housing.
New irrigated gardens provide permanent moisture
New villas arrive with watered gardens and fresh damp soil. Water pools around foundations and margins. This standing water becomes ideal fly breeding habitat.
Al Asalah on the map
Al Asalah sits about 5.5 km from South Obhur and about 11 km from Al Basatin.

The site between two major expressways, Wadi Obhur running through it, elevated terrain, and utilities still being laid with unpaved streets.
House fly
House flies gather around irrigated gardens and standing water near new villas.
Blow fly
Blow flies arrive from the wadi, open ground and active building sites.
Fermenting residue
Building debris mixed with dampness provides rapid fermentation substrate for flies.
The bin base
Waste bins in new villas are usually clean but the watered garden provides perpetual moisture around the home.
The film inside a drain
New drain pipes are usually sound but external seepage and pooling water around the foundation creates dampness.
The service door and its mesh
Screens and doors in new villas are improved but gaps around external pipes may be oversized.
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
The district is very new and construction continues around us. When will this stop affecting us?
Once construction ends and hand over is complete, fly pressure will drop. Until then, monthly treatment is necessary, and new gardens will need monitoring too.
Wadi Obhur is very close. Does it bring flies in from outside the district?
The wadi carries water seasonally and deposits organic silt in winter and spring. Your villa's garden irrigation and nearby projects are nearer and more significant sources.
After treating my villa will flies come back from outside?
Yes, possibly, but monthly treatment usually maintains control. Sealing gaps around external pipes reduces entry significantly.
When will I see results after treating my new villa and its garden?
Clear reduction in two weeks, but nearby sources mean regular monitoring is necessary whilst surrounding construction continues.
Are new villa gates safe from flies entering?
New homes have improved screens and better seals, but during construction and finishing, gaps may be larger than standard and need checking.
Do incomplete drains and unpaved streets increase the fly problem?
Yes, significantly. Incomplete utilities provide multiple water sources, and unpaved streets collect water and organic silt where flies breed.
How much does fly control in Al Asalah 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 Asalah.
