Fly control in Al Bashair Jeddah

Al Bashair is a new district in north Jeddah on the Asfan ring road, with recently built villas and apartment blocks beside subdivisions still under construction. The ground is inland and dry, but constant digging and building keep soil damp. Exposed foundations and open trenches provide permanent water sources for flies. We focus first on the water accumulating around foundations and in open trenches.

Why they keep coming back in Al Bashair

In new building districts, flies concentrate around exposed foundations, open trenches and wet areas between buildings, because the standing water in these gaps creates ideal breeding ground. The method is set out in full on the full Fly control page.

The first reason

Exposed foundations and water filled trenches

New buildings contain deep exposed foundations that collect water from digging and building work, and trenches for drainage and power lines remain open for weeks, filling with rainwater and construction runoff. These open damp areas provide the best breeding ground for flies and mosquitoes.

The second reason

Building sites and vacant land around new homes

Vacant plots between new buildings and those still under construction offer wide areas of bare soil and random dug out sections. Water collects in these holes and low spots especially after rain or random irrigation during construction.

The third reason

Moisture from building materials and wet cement

Building materials and wet cement create continuous dampness around work sites. Mixers and equipment leave pools of standing water. This persistent moisture creates an excellent environment for larvae and pupae to develop quickly.

Landmarks of Al Bashair

Al Bashair sits on the Asfan Ring Road which bounds the district on the east, and Al Bashair Mosque and Al Bashair Park serve as local reference points. Access to building sites and foundations is through internal streets and by coordination with contractors and main project gates.

Before treatment

Where the flies are actually coming from

Inland ground far from the sea, generally dry but ongoing construction and excavation create small water ponds and channels that fill with water and mud, providing perfect breeding conditions.

House fly

The house fly breeds rapidly in standing water around foundations and trenches, where water stays warm and damp soil provides safe pupation space.

Blow fly

The blow fly prefers building sites and mixer areas, laying eggs in waste materials and water contaminated with cement and construction debris.

Fermenting residue

Fermenting residue collects in open trenches and holes, especially if organic waste or debris falls into the water.

The bin base

Bin enclosures on building sites are usually temporary and sit close to foundations, collecting building waste, water and mud.

The film inside a drain

Biofilm forms rapidly in standing water in trenches and holes, especially if they remain open for weeks without cleaning.

Service doors and vents in newly constructed incomplete buildings are missing or temporary, and gaps around exposed foundations and trenches provide direct passages for insects from outside.

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 Taybah Sub-Municipality

Taybah sub municipality covers the newly built districts of north east Jeddah along Al Haramain Road and Asfan Road. New villas and apartment buildings stand among vacant plots, building sites and half finished subdivisions. Al Hamdaniyah is the oldest and densest part with its markets and shops, while Al Furusiyah, Al Bashair, Al Rahmaniyah, Al Falah and Al Salihiyah are mostly recent. The ground is inland and away from the sea, dry and dusty, rest houses, camps and stables on the fringes draw flies and crawling insects, and constant digging and construction stirs rodents out of the empty plots.

Questions about this district

Does ongoing construction cause worse fly problems?

Yes, digging, exposed foundations and water pooling create new fly sources throughout the building phase. We focus on treating these water areas directly to stop breeding. We coordinate with contractors for safe access.

Do flies come from vacant plots and neighbouring sites?

Yes, vacant plots and nearby sites are constant fly sources. Treating one site alone may not work if neighbouring areas are untreated. We treat the site and adjacent areas together for effective control.

Is it safe to treat building sites where workers are present?

Yes, we treat outside main working hours. We give contractors and workers advance notice. Products are approved and safe, and workers can return to the site within a few hours.

How often do exposed foundations need treatment?

Foundations need treatment every three weeks during active building. We focus on water pools and open trenches. Once foundations are filled and construction moves above ground, the need reduces significantly.

Can standing water in trenches and pits also breed mosquitoes?

Yes, standing water breeds both mosquitoes and flies together. Comprehensive treatment of this water stops both. We use products effective against mosquitoes and flies together on building sites.

When will the fly problem end in this new district?

As construction nears completion and foundations are filled and buildings finish, open water sources and exposed ground reduce. About a year after construction ends, the district becomes like any other, and treatment frequency drops.

How much does fly control in Al Bashair 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 Bashair.
