Fly control in Al Rehab Jeddah

Al Rehab is a large district stretching between Al Arbaeen Street and the expressway, mixing villas and apartments with residential buildings alongside University of Jeddah college buildings and busy markets. Flies here are widespread: university cafeterias and restaurants, shops and markets produce continuous heavy food waste, and the mixed building types and wide streets provide multiple pathways for rapid spread across the whole area.

Why they keep coming back in Al Rehab

The district combines permanent residents with a large student population, creating high density of restaurants, cafes and markets and massive daily volumes of food waste. The method is set out in full on Fly control in detail.

The first reason

University cafeterias and restaurants produce endless waste

University of Jeddah colleges operate multiple cafeterias and eating places serving thousands of students daily, producing continuous food waste that is the main breeding source for flies.

The second reason

Scattered shops and markets multiply waste sources

Shopping areas and small retail shops are spread throughout the district producing diverse waste types, creating a varied environment for multiple fly populations to thrive.

The third reason

Wide street grid accelerates fly dispersal across the district

The wide streets and orderly planning allow flies to move rapidly from one waste source to another, and controlling spread becomes difficult over such a large and complex area.

The character of Al Rehab

Mixed district: shops at street level with homes above them

Mixed district means restaurants and markets at ground level and around the campus produce continuous food waste, leaving villas and flats above and around them exposed to fly entry from these sources. Treatment must address both primary sources and residential areas together.

Before treatment

Where the flies are actually coming from

A large district between Al Arbaeen Street and the expressway, home to villas, apartments and residential blocks alongside colleges of the University of Jeddah and active shopping areas, bounded by Prince Mohammed bin Abdulaziz Street to the north and Palestine Street to the south.

House fly

House flies in Al Rehab concentrate on university cafeterias and restaurants, then spread across the wide streets to all parts of the district.

Blow fly

Blow flies may appear seasonally near butcher shops and poultry retailers in the markets, especially during summer months.

Fermenting residue

Fermenting food waste collects in university cafeterias and restaurants, creating strong odours that attract large flying populations.

The bin base

Refuse bin bases around the university stay perpetually damp from high volumes of wasted food, providing ideal breeding conditions.

The film inside a drain

Films inside cafeteria and restaurant drains thicken quickly from food residue and oils, providing shelter for millions of developing larvae.

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.

Landmarks of Al Rehab

Questions about this district

Does the student population and crowds around the campus increase fly problems?

Yes significantly. Thousands of students eat in cafeterias and restaurants around the campus, massively increasing food waste volumes that support huge fly populations.

Is treating shops and restaurants alone enough or must we treat villas and flats?

Treatment of outlets alone is not sufficient. Flies spread rapidly from restaurants and markets to neighbouring villas and flats across the wide streets.

Is Al Ahli Club nearby a secondary source of flies for the district?

Possibly a minor source, but the university cafeterias and restaurants around the campus are the main fly sources affecting Al Rehab.

How often must the district be treated per year?

Every four to six weeks in summer, especially during the full academic year when student numbers peak. Pressure reduces during summer holidays.

Should the whole district be treated or each zone separately?

Comprehensive district wide treatment is necessary. Treating individual zones allows flies to migrate between areas.

Does having flies in a furnished flat next to a restaurant mean it is unclean?

No. The flat may be immaculate but the restaurant below attracts flies. The quality of drainage between units and building gaps are the real causes.

How much does fly control in Al Rehab 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 Rehab.
