Fly control in Al Firdaws Jeddah

Al Firdaws is a mixed district between Madinah Road and Prince Abdulmajeed Road, with Prince Nayef Street running through it. Ground floors hold shops, cafes and small businesses, whilst residential flats occupy the storeys above. Flies concentrate around ground floor shops and food businesses and climb to upper flats via shared passages.

Why they keep coming back in Al Firdaws

Flies in Al Firdaws split between ground floor shops where they concentrate on food and waste, and upper flats where flies enter through doors, windows and shared lobbies. The method is set out in full on what Fly control involves.

The first reason

Ground floor shops, cafes and stores

Al Firdaws ground floors hold shops, cafes and small stores which supply abundant food, waste and water for flies. Refuse accumulates in back alleys and courtyards and is not collected regularly, providing constant breeding habitat.

The second reason

Shared entrances, stairs and passages

Mixed use buildings in Al Firdaws have shared entries, stairs and passages serving both shops and flats. Flies enter from lower shops and climb via shared passages to upper flats, and openings may lack screens.

The third reason

Shop ownership, residents and poor coordination

Each shop may have a different owner, and flats above may belong to different people. Lack of coordination between shop owners and residents means treating one shop floor may not protect the flat above it.

The character of Al Firdaws

Mixed district: shops at street level with homes above them

Mixed district means the problem lies in ground floor shops and businesses rather than in residential flats. Treatment requires coordination between shop owners and residents.

Before treatment

Where the flies are actually coming from

A commercial and residential mix with a dense run of shops and open markets at ground level, shared internal entries to upper flats supplying easy routes for flies to climb, and refuse accumulating behind shops.

House fly

House flies concentrate in residential flats while blow flies gather around shops and refuse.

Blow fly

Blow flies are more common in Al Firdaws because shops supply abundant stored refuse and waste.

Fermenting residue

Fermenting residue builds up rapidly in shop backs and market areas from food scraps.

The bin base

Bin bases in Al Firdaws may be hard to reach and collect water and refuse from shops.

The film inside a drain

Drain film forms quickly in mixed use buildings because of the volume of shop waste and effluent.

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

Is shop and restaurant waste different from household waste in fly terms?

Yes, shop and food business waste contains more organic matter, oils and decomposing food than household waste. This supplies a richer breeding environment for flies.

Why are shared passages the main fly route from shops to upper flats?

Shared entries and stairs offer direct routes for flies from ground floor shops to upper flats. Without door screens, flies enter freely.

Will treating the shop floor alone stop flies in the flat above?

No, treating only the shop will not prevent flies reaching the flat via shared passages. Flat and passage need separate treatment.

Do flies enter flats through open windows or through shared passages?

Flies use both: open windows and shared passages. In older buildings, shared passages may be the main route.

How often must a mixed district like Al Firdaws be treated?

Treatment requires coordination between shop owners and residents. Weekly or fortnightly treatment may be needed depending on contamination level.

Is treating all the shops and markets at once better than individual shops?

Yes, treating the whole commercial street at once is more effective than treating individual shops. This prevents flies from migrating from a treated shop to an untreated one.

How much does fly control in Al Firdaws 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 Firdaws.
