Fly control in Al Kaakiyah Makkah

Al Kaakiyah in south Makkah on Al Layth Road is home to Souq Al Halaqa, the city's largest market for vegetables, fruit, livestock and birds. The market dumps food and animal scraps in vast quantities every day. Combined with surrounding shops, stalls and residential buildings, Al Kaakiyah is a complex commercial zone where flies from the market spread everywhere around it.

Why they keep coming back in Al Kaakiyah

Souq Al Halaqa produces tons of vegetable and animal scraps every day. Flies breed in them rapidly and then spread to shops and homes nearby. The method is set out in full on our Fly control service.

The first reason

Souq Al Halaqa generates tons of food and animal waste daily

Souq Al Halaqa is Makkah's largest vegetable, poultry and livestock market. Vendors leave vegetable scraps, poultry waste and manure with no immediate cleaning. The total is thousands of kilograms daily, a pure fly breeding ground.

The second reason

Surrounding butchers and sellers provide secondary breeding shelter

Meat and poultry shops around the market also produce waste. Flies spread from the main market into these shops and find secondary breeding. Treatment must cover both the market and the shops.

The third reason

Residential buildings above shops place residents between source and flies

Flats above market shops mean residents live directly over a fly source. Flies move from the market into the flats through open windows and doors.

Before treatment

Where the flies are actually coming from

A commercial and residential district in south Makkah hosting the massive Souq Al Halaqa for produce and animals, with shops and apartment buildings lining Al Layth Road.

House fly

House flies breed by the millions in Al Kaakiyah in vegetable and poultry scraps from Souq Al Halaqa every day.

Blow fly

Blow flies are strongly drawn to the market where meat, poultry and animal waste sit exposed.

Fermenting residue

Food, vegetable and poultry scraps ferment fast in Makkah's heat, speeding breeding downward.

The bin base

Shop bases and drain openings accumulate animal and vegetable scraps, allowing rapid breeding.

The film inside a drain

Market drains carry poultry blood and meat scraps, an ideal fly environment.

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.

The character of Al Kaakiyah

Commercial area: offices, showrooms and small stores

Shops along Al Layth Road in Al Kaakiyah, especially food retailers, provide secondary shelter for flies spreading from the main market. Treating the market and shops together is essential to break the breeding cycle.

Questions about this district

Does all the fly problem in Al Kaakiyah come from the market alone?

The market is the main source, but butchers and sellers all contribute. Treatment must cover the market and all the shops together.

How often must Souq Al Halaqa be treated?

A daily market that breeds millions of flies means treatment at least weekly, possibly more often in peak season.

Does having flies in the flat above the market mean it is unclean?

No. The flat may be clean but it sits directly above the market. Flies come from the market, not from the flat.

Is treating the market enough or must the flats above also be treated?

Treating the market and surroundings cuts flies significantly, but flats reporting problems may need interior treatment too.

Is there a season when flies are worse in Al Kaakiyah than others?

Yes. Peak vegetable and fruit seasons, especially in summer, cause a surge in flies. Winter is less bad but flies never disappear.

Does treating the market and shops take longer than treating residential neighbourhoods?

Yes, much longer. The market needs comprehensive treatment of all corners, openings and drains. It can take hours and results need weekly monitoring.

How much does fly control in Al Kaakiyah 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 Kaakiyah.
