Fly control in Al Buhayrat Makkah

Al Buhayrat is a recent north western extension between An Nawwariyah and As Salamah, close to At Tanim. It holds new villas and apartment blocks with plots still under construction. Shops and cafes line the ground floor with homes above them. Umm Al Mumineen Road cuts through the district, the northern Haram boundary runs along its edge, and this mix of residential, commercial and ongoing construction creates a compound fly problem with multiple sources.

Why they keep coming back in Al Buhayrat

Shops and cafes at ground floor level sit directly below residential flats, creating ideal conditions for fly migration. Empty building plots trap moisture and food waste without proper drainage. The method is set out in full on how we approach Fly control.

The first reason

Shops at street level with homes stacked above, a dual source

Restaurants, cafes and small shops leave food waste and spoil, and the flats above provide shelter. Flies move easily from shop to flat through shared passages and service stairs.

The second reason

Building plots and pooled moisture around new structures

New buildings stand among empty plots under construction, water collects in pits and depressions, and drainage is incomplete. Incomplete services mean trapped moisture and a permanent breeding ground.

The third reason

Umm Al Mumineen Road and constant traffic from the Haram

The road carries residents and visitors from the Haram and the mosque nearby, many carrying food and waste. Foot traffic distributes flies and their food sources across the neighbourhood.

The character of Al Buhayrat

Mixed district: shops at street level with homes above them

A mixed district means multiple entry points: from the shop below, from nearby empty plots, from shared passages. Treatment must focus on all these routes together, rather than treating the flat in isolation.

Before treatment

Where the flies are actually coming from

The district sits between An Nawwariyah to the north and As Salamah to the south, with the Haram boundary along its northern edge. Elevations vary and building work is incomplete in patches, allowing water to pool irregularly.

House fly

House flies in Al Buhayrat concentrate on restaurant and cafe waste at ground floor level, migrating easily into the flats above.

Blow fly

Blow flies are drawn to damp areas around building plots and gaps between new structures with incomplete drainage.

Fermenting residue

Fermenting residue from restaurants and cafes is the central source, where flies gather first.

The bin base

Waste bin bases behind shops and gaps around the main entrance stay contaminated and damp.

The film inside a drain

Biofilm in incomplete drain runs around the building sites supports larval development.

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.

Landmarks of Al Buhayrat

Al Buhayrat is readily reached from Umm Al Mumineen Road, which connects the district directly to the Haram and neighbouring mosques. The At Tanim Walkway nearby is a convenient landmark, and Hira General Hospital provides a known reference for scheduling the visit.

Questions about this district

Flies come up from the shop below. How do I prevent them reaching my flat?

The gaps between shop and flat above are the main route. We seal those openings and gaps, and fit proper screens to windows and shared service doors.

Does treating the shop help reduce flies in my flat?

Yes if comprehensive, but it needs coordination with the shop owner. Treating the flat itself is equally essential.

Do the building plots nearby bring flies to us?

They can, especially if standing water collects. But the primary source is usually the shops at street level and their waste streams.

The Haram boundary is very close. Does that affect the treatment?

Not the treatment itself, but it does mean constant traffic of residents and visitors, which brings food waste and supporting populations.

Are new flats less prone to flies than older ones?

New flats have better screens, but ground floor shops are a problem regardless. Prevention through good sealing is the key.

When will I see flies reduce after treating both the flat and the shop together?

If both are treated correctly, expect visible results in one to two weeks.

How much does fly control in Al Buhayrat 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 Buhayrat.
