Fly control in Al Taawun Jeddah

Al Taawun is a district on the southern fringe of Jeddah east of Al Khumrah, home to new housing subdivisions including the Ministry of Housing's Rawdat Al Taawun scheme. The housing is scattered across open land with abundant vacant plots between projects, and the district sits close to warehouse zones and logistics areas. This combination of incomplete housing, open ground and proximity to industrial storage creates unique fly conditions.

Why they keep coming back in Al Taawun

Vacant land, scattered housing and rest houses plus proximity to storage and warehouse facilities provide diverse environments offering shelter and food for flies. The method is set out in full on the full Fly control page.

The first reason

Scattered housing schemes with open land between

Rawdat Al Taawun and other projects are scattered across wide ground with abundant vacant plots between them. Open land provides perfect fly breeding habitat and flies migrate readily into homes.

The second reason

Warehouses and logistics zones nearby

The district sits close to Al Sarawat and Al Saruriyah warehouse areas, which provide constant fly sources from stored goods and waste. Wind and fly migration brings warehouse flies into the housing.

The third reason

Commercial streets for traffic and trade

Al Laith Road and Al Hussein ibn Ali Street run through the scheme with small shops and restaurants. These provide permanent food sources and fly harbouring.

Landmarks of Al Taawun

Work in Al Taawun is organised along Al Laith Road and Al Hussein ibn Ali Street where the housing scheme runs, with focus on open spaces and the proximity of Rawdat Al Taawun scheme to vacant ground.

Before treatment

Where the flies are actually coming from

A new fringe district with modern housing schemes and wide vacant plots interspersed, close to industrial and warehouse zones that amplify potential fly sources.

House fly

House flies in Al Taawun feed on food scraps from small shops and restaurants on Al Laith Road and Al Hussein ibn Ali Street.

Blow fly

Blow flies appear in large numbers around the warehouses, open ground and scattered rest houses.

Fermenting residue

Food waste and scraps from small shops accumulate in vacant plots and open spaces.

The bin base

Water pools from irrigation and rainfall in public gardens and around villas create puddles where flies breed.

The film inside a drain

Excavated ground and foundation cracks provide pathways for flies from open land into villa interiors.

Villa and shop doors open onto vacant ground and gardens, and weak mesh allows external flies to enter 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 South Sub-Municipality

The South sub municipality runs from the edge of Old Makkah Road down to Al Khumrah and the southern corniche. Dense residential districts sit beside new subdivisions such as Al Sanabil and Al Taawun, warehouse fringes such as Al Saruriyah and Al Sarawat, and an old seaside settlement at Al Quzayn. Open stormwater channels cross the housing, and the warehouses, the vegetable and livestock markets and the nearby Islamic Port and Industrial City give pests shelter, food and year round humidity. Pressure is greatest in the older quarters, where drainage networks are ageing.

Questions about this district

Are the vacant plots between villas the main fly source?

Yes very much. Open ground provides continuous breeding habitat and flies migrate from there into villas readily.

Do the warehouses in Al Saruriyah supply flies to Al Taawun?

Yes significantly. Wind and fly migration bring warehouse flies into the residential scheme.

Is treating a single villa enough or must the whole district be treated?

A villa needs tight sealing from windows and doors. But wider district treatment would be more effective to stop flies from the warehouses.

Do the public gardens in Rawdat Al Taawun increase flies?

The gardens are pleasant but daily watering provides permanent moisture and continuous fly breeding habitat.

Is fly pressure in Al Taawun worse than other southern districts?

Yes, the warehouse proximity and wide vacant land make Al Taawun a special case.

Will flies reduce when the development is complete?

Yes, once vacant land is built and foundations covered flies will reduce, but warehouses will remain a source.

How much does fly control in Al Taawun 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 Taawun.
