Fly control in Al Mansour Makkah

Al Mansour is an old district running along the long artery of Prince Mansour Street, lined with small markets and food shops at street level under decades old apartment blocks. Flies breed here in large numbers from open air fruit and vegetable markets exposed to the street and the very old sewage pipes beneath the entire street that form a perfect breeding ground for larvae year round.

Why they keep coming back in Al Mansour

Ground floor shops are extremely numerous, many of them popular markets selling fresh produce and vegetables in open air displays with no refrigeration. The method is set out in full on the full Fly control page.

The first reason

Open popular markets are permanent fly sources

Exposed fruit and vegetables in Al Mansour markets sit on the street and spoiled stock accumulates under pavements and in bins, where flies develop rapidly because treatment is infrequent.

The second reason

Pipes too old to ever be cleaned

Narrow streets and sixty year old pipes mean they cannot practically be cleaned or repaired, so larvae develop inside them year round without interruption.

The third reason

High and ancient density combined

A single building may house twenty families or more with ground floor shops, so food waste sources are greater and continuous foot traffic brings flies from the street constantly.

Before treatment

Where the flies are actually coming from

Prince Mansour Street stretches a long distance from Al Hajoun Road to the middle ring road, and Al Mansour's buildings are very old, some built fifty years ago or more.

House fly

The house fly in Al Mansour favours warm damp conditions, and narrow airless streets provide exactly that environment for them.

Blow fly

The blow fly is drawn to open fruit and vegetables in the markets, laying eggs within hours in exposed produce at various stages of decay.

Fermenting residue

Fermenting residue from spoiled fruit and vegetables under pavements provides abundant nutrition for larvae to develop at extreme speed.

The bin base

The bin base in popular markets is filled with liquids from decaying produce, creating ideal conditions for fly reproduction.

The film inside a drain

The film inside drainage contains grease from restaurant food, falafel stalls and prepared foods sold in the street, forming an excellent medium for fly larvae.

The service door and its mesh in popular shops are often missing or broken, so flies enter freely from the street.

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 Mansour

Commercial area: offices, showrooms and small stores

In an old commercial zone like Al Mansour, fly infestation is not a single shop's problem but a street-wide issue rooted in shared old drainage; treatment requires coordination across all traders on the entire street.

Questions about this district

Is the vegetable market the main fly source in Al Mansour?

Yes. Fruit and vegetables sit exposed on the street without refrigeration and provide a permanent easy source, and spoiling stock accumulates in corners untended.

Why are there so many flies even in upper flats far from shops?

The pipes beneath the street connect all flats and flies rise from them into every level through cracks and pipe gaps, and the high population density means more food waste to support them.

Is treating just the flat enough in Al Mansour?

No. The primary source is the shops and drains below; treating the flat kills adult flies but larvae continue developing in the drains and shops.

Does the narrow street affect fly numbers?

Yes. Narrow streets mean bins stand longer, ventilation is poor, heat builds up and humidity climbs, all speeding fly development.

Do Makkah's hot days multiply the fly problem rapidly?

Yes severely. High heat compresses the fly life cycle to just three days instead of a week, so pressure mounts very quickly.

Does closing shops at night reduce daytime fly numbers?

Closing shops at night reduces fly entry from the street, but flies already present and eggs already laid complete their cycle inside the shops and on the street.

How much does fly control in Al Mansour 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 Mansour.
