Why they keep coming back in Al Jamiah

Heavy traffic routes bring flies with cars and pilgrims, and flies spread easily across the traffic flow from place to place, especially when windows stand open to the road. The method is set out in full on the full Fly control page.

The first reason

Crowded hotels, flats and shared drainage

Hotels and modern residential blocks are packed with tourists and pilgrims, and all share common sewage and ventilation lines. Flies move easily between hotels, flats and the hospital through shared pipes and complex ventilation openings.

The second reason

King Khalid Road and heavy traffic flow

The wide road cuts through the district with heavy continuous traffic, and cars bring flies from other areas and distribute them through the neighbourhood. Open car windows provide a pathway for flies to travel from the road into flats.

The third reason

Makkah Mall, hospital and major facilities

Makkah Mall and the hospital generate intense activity and concentrated sewage. The mall cafeteria and Alawi Tunsi Hospital produce food waste and refuse that attract large fly numbers, and flies travel from these sites to adjoining flats easily.

Before treatment

Where the flies are actually coming from

An eastern district cut by King Khalid Road and Al Masjid Al Haram Road, with apartment blocks and pilgrim hotels standing close together, small neighbourhood parks and green spaces, beside Al Aziziyah and Al Mursalat.

House fly

House flies travel from hotels and major facilities through shared drains and multiple openings, and a flat next to a hotel faces constant fly waves.

Blow fly

Blow flies come from Makkah Mall and the hospital with abundant food waste and refuse, finding plentiful food sources.

Fermenting residue

Fermenting residue collects in shared drains serving hotels, flats and facilities together, becoming a continuous source.

The bin base

The bin base beside a hotel or mall fills quickly and may not be cleaned regularly, so stagnant water draws large fly numbers.

The film inside a drain

The drain film grows rapidly because hotels and hospitals produce abundant waste, and shared drainage becomes a strong fly source.

Ventilation and doors facing the busy road need very strong mesh because flies carried by air from traffic continuously try to enter.

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

Do hotels in the neighbourhood provide continuous fly sources?

Very much. Hotels have constant tourism and abundant food waste, and shared drains carry flies directly to your unit. The hotel needs separate treatment but shared drainage makes the problem complex.

King Khalid Road is extremely busy. Do cars bring flies?

Yes, the congested road transports flies from distant areas and distributes them through the neighbourhood. Windows and doors facing the road must be covered with very fine mesh screens.

Makkah Mall and the hospital are beside me. Does this cause extra problems?

Yes, large facilities like malls and hospitals generate intense drainage and heavy foot traffic. Flies travel from these sites to adjoining flats through open areas and ventilation openings.

Al Aziziyah and Al Mursalat are next to me. Does this affect the fly problem?

The effect is indirect. If neighbouring districts have fly problems they may distribute flies across roads and open areas, but treatment of your unit focuses on sealing your own entry points.

Abu Raysh Park and small parks. Do they provide fly sources?

Parks provide natural insect habitat and moisture, but their impact is less than hotels and the mall. The park provides good ventilation but windows near it need fine mesh protection.

How often do I need fly treatment in such a crowded district as Al Jamiah?

A district crowded with hotels and facilities needs weekly treatment for three weeks initially, then fortnightly maintenance. If the hotel beside you is neglected, extra treatments may be necessary.

How much does fly control in Al Jamiah 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 Jamiah.
