Fly control in Al Fayha, Makkah

Targeted, not broadcast

Why they keep coming back in Al Fayha

Flies in Al Fayha originate from vacant land more than from buildings, and uncontrolled vegetation and pooling water supply continuous breeding sources. The method is set out in full on how we approach Fly control.

The first reason

Vacant plots and incomplete schemes

Large Al Fayha schemes still have substantial unbuilt sections with no clear boundaries. Water pools on uneven ground and wild plants thrive unchecked. This offers ideal uninterrupted fly breeding habitat.

The second reason

Al Fayha Park, the walkway and irrigated green space

Al Fayha Park and the new Al Fayha walkway offer large regularly irrigated green spaces filled with plants and flowers. Excess irrigation water pools around planted areas, and park soil stays damp, creating excellent habitat for larvae.

The third reason

The Haram boundary, At Tanim and seasonal wadis

Al Fayha sits near the northern Haram boundary and the At Tanim mosque, with Wadi At Tanim running close by carrying water and organic waste downstream. Seasonal flood wadis may bring flies and insects from distant upland areas.

The character of Al Fayha

New development: ongoing construction and vacant plots between the homes

New development in Al Fayha means vacant plots are the primary problem, not the buildings themselves. Treatment focuses on vacant land and green spaces more than on the buildings.

Before treatment

Where the flies are actually coming from

Wide unbuilt tracts between buildings collect rainwater and lie unmaintained, covered in wild grass and uncontrolled vegetation. Disturbed ground and excavation provide ideal habitat for fly breeding to flourish.

House fly

House flies are present in Al Fayha but in lower numbers than blow flies which dominate the area.

Blow fly

Blow flies dominate because vacant plots, green spaces and pooling water create ideal habitat.

Fermenting residue

Fermenting residue accumulates in vacant land from dead vegetation and uncleaned organic waste.

The bin base

Bin bases in Al Fayha may be hard to access in vacant land and collect water from irrigation and rainfall.

The film inside a drain

Drain film forms slowly in Al Fayha because drainage systems are still under construction and incomplete.

Service doors and screens in new buildings may not be tightly fitted, allowing fly entry 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 Al Umrah Sub-Municipality

Al Umrah sub municipality covers the north west of Makkah along the Madinah road and the old Jeddah road, from At Tanim and Masjid Aisha to An Nawwariyah. Its districts are the city's newest, villas and apartment blocks raised on wide schemes where large tracts in Al Umrah Al Jadidah, Al Fayha and Al Buhayrat remain vacant or under construction. Wadi Saraf and Wadi At Tanim run through it and rainwater gathers on unfinished schemes, ihram shops, restaurants and coach stops along the Madinah road serve a constant flow of pilgrims, and villas fill Al Hamra and Umm Al Jud.

Questions about this district

Do seasonal wadis bring flies from distant areas into Al Fayha?

Yes, Wadi At Tanim runs near Al Fayha carrying water and organic refuse downstream. Seasonal floods may transport fly larvae and other insects from higher ground areas.

Is Al Fayha Park and its green spaces a fly source for surrounding buildings?

Yes, the park supplies large irrigated green areas and ideal fly habitat. Flies move readily from the park to adjacent buildings and those below it.

Do vacant plots and incomplete schemes increase fly problems?

Yes, unmonitored vacant land provides ideal fly and rodent habitat. Pooling water, wild vegetation and uncleaned refuse provide safe shelter.

Why do flies move from vacant land into the buildings?

Flies seek food, water and shelter, all of which buildings supply, especially restaurants and shops in Al Fayha Mall.

Will treating the buildings alone stop flies coming from vacant plots?

No, treating buildings alone will not stop reinfestation from vacant land. Vacant and empty schemes must also be treated.

When is fly pressure worst in Al Fayha?

Flies worsen in spring and summer when vegetation and grass grow fast and heat rises. Light rain supplies water for fly breeding.

How much does fly control in Al Fayha 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 Fayha.
