Fly control in Al Rusayfah Makkah

Al Rusayfah is a new orderly planned scheme on the Third Ring Road west of the city, with Haramain railway station and the Jeddah expressway entrance on its edge. The district is new and services are well organised, but the railway station and expressway bring flies in from outside. Every home has a garden and shared green spaces provide extra moisture, and modern drainage is better but flies still enter from the station and road.

Why they keep coming back in Al Rusayfah

In Al Rusayfah, flies appear shortly after train arrivals because they come from the station and expressway, and home gardens provide extra moisture that speeds their development. The method is set out in full on the full Fly control page.

The first reason

The railway station as an external fly source

Haramain railway station at the district edge is a continuous source of flies. The railway brings passengers from many regions who may carry waste and insects with them. Flies from the station spread easily through the neighbouring district.

The second reason

The expressway and its environmental effects

The expressway generates air movement, dust and environmental effects that attract flies. Moisture leaking from the road and vehicles may pool in low areas beside it.

The third reason

Irrigated green spaces and home gardens

The new district has regularly irrigated shared green space and home gardens. Moisture from watering provides a new environment for flies coming from the station and road to develop and breed.

Before treatment

Where the flies are actually coming from

The district sits on the Third Ring Road with clear boundaries and the Haramain railway station and expressway entrance on its edge, a well planned residential scheme with orderly green spaces.

House fly

The house fly in a neighbourhood beside a railway station comes from outside the district and spreads through gardens and green spaces.

Blow fly

The blow fly appears especially during seasons of natural activity and is drawn to irrigated landscaping.

Fermenting residue

Fermenting residue may come from the station and expressway more than from homes.

The bin base

The bin base in a new ordered district is usually placed at specific points away from the home.

The film inside a drain

The film inside drains in a new neighbourhood is rare, but moisture from irrigation and seepage may support flies coming from outside.

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.

What is different about Al Misfalah Sub-Municipality

Al Misfalah sub municipality runs downhill from the south of the Grand Mosque through Al Misfalah, Kudai and Al Rawabi to Al Taqwa, Al Hindawiyah, Al Khalidiyah and Al Rusayfah at the third ring road. The northern end is old apartment blocks and pilgrim hotels with restaurants along Ibrahim Al Khalil Street and the huge coach parks at Kudai. The south and west are dense popular districts with countless small shops and unplanned hillside housing, some of it already cleared for redevelopment, giving way to orderly land grant schemes in Al Rusayfah beside the railway station.

Questions about this district

Is Haramain railway station a primary source of flies in Al Rusayfah?

Yes, a direct one. The station receives pilgrims from around the world and may carry waste and insects from distant regions.

Does the Jeddah expressway increase fly problems in Al Rusayfah?

Yes, the expressway carries flies from other areas, and air movement and water seepage attract flies toward the neighbourhood.

Do green spaces and home gardens in a new planned district provide fly sources?

Yes, regular irrigation provides moisture flies need. But the new district usually has better drainage so the problem is reduced relatively.

How many treatments per year does a new neighbourhood beside a railway station need?

Three to four times yearly, with extra visits before hajj and Umrah seasons.

Do the medical complexes in Al Rusayfah create additional flies?

They may contribute slightly, but the main sources are the railway station and expressway. Medical facilities usually manage pests well.

Do flies from the station travel far throughout the whole neighbourhood?

Yes, flies fly in all directions from the station, and the open new neighbourhood design lets them spread easily.

How much does fly control in Al Rusayfah 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 Rusayfah.
