Fly control in Barakah Makkah

Barakah is a renamed scheme in the north east of the Al Sharai sub municipality between Thaniyah and Hunayn, sited on the Makkah to Taif expressway by the hamlets of Al Hamidah and Al Said. Planned plots on sale sit beside slow building work and farms line the bed of Wadi Al Sharai, with Jabal Laban to the south. Flies breed in vacant plots, ongoing construction, standing water and small agricultural plots scattered through the scheme.

Why they keep coming back in Barakah

Fly pressure in Barakah differs from completed neighbourhoods because open building sites, farms and the wadi provide three interlocking breeding sources all active at once. The method is set out in full on Fly control in detail.

The first reason

Ongoing construction and vacant land accelerate fly breeding conditions

Barakah is newly developing with slow construction, building sites and open excavations and vacant plots provide exposed soil and pooled water. Without organised drainage yet, water collects in pits and low ground, an ideal fly breeding environment for wild species. Construction becomes a fly factory.

The second reason

Wadi Al Sharai and its surrounding fields are a permanent fly source from nature

Wadi Al Sharai runs south of the scheme carrying permanent water. Water pooling from the wadi in surrounding fields and farms creates natural fly breeding habitat. Flies transfer constantly from the wadi and farms to new houses nearby.

The third reason

The Taif expressway moves fly traffic and creates external entry pressure

The expressway carries continuous traffic, traders and food service, and flies travel on the road and wind. Barakah sits directly on the road, so flies from outside the neighbourhood transfer easily to it via the expressway.

Landmarks of Barakah

Barakah lies on the Makkah to Taif expressway by Al Hamidah and Al Said hamlets, and borders Wadi Al Sharai to the south. Work there requires understanding the expressway, the wadi and the current development stage of the scheme.

Before treatment

Where the flies are actually coming from

A developing scheme on the Makkah to Taif expressway with planned plots and slow building progress, and farms along Wadi Al Sharai banks. Open soil, water from the wadi and the farms create permanently damp conditions.

House fly

House flies do not concentrate in a new scheme, but wild flies from construction, the wadi and farms enter new houses seeking water and food, and they behave differently.

Blow flies and fruit flies are drawn to building sites, pooled water and farms through the development.

Fermenting residue

Fermenting residue in excavations and standing water around construction sites feeds larvae without competition.

The bin base

The bin base in a new scheme may become an attraction point for flies from construction, the wadi and surrounding farms.

The film inside a drain

Biofilm forms in any temporary drainage pipes or attempts to manage water from building works.

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 Sharai Sub-Municipality

Al Sharai is the eastern growth front of Makkah along King Faisal Road and the Taif road. Settled quarters sit beside recently renamed schemes where plots are still vacant and buildings are going up, so construction sites, fill and open excavations lie next to occupied homes. Wadi channels such as Wadi Mudarraja, Wadi Al Sharai and Wadi Al Mughammas carry flash floods after rain and dry out to damp silt, while dust blows off the open hills. Roadside shops, restaurants and warehouses line the Taif road, and to the east the area shades into villages, palm farms and springs.

Questions about this district

Does ongoing construction cause much more flies than finished neighbourhoods beside it?

Yes, significantly. Building sites provide exposed soil, excavations and pooled water without organised drainage. Flies breed easily in this setting. Finished neighbourhoods have organised drainage, paving and services that limit breeding.

Is treating a new house safe if active building work sits beside it?

Yes, treatment is safe, but with open building beside the house, flies return easily from construction sites. Treating both the house and surrounding area together works better.

How many times per year does a new neighbourhood beside the Taif expressway need treatment?

It may need treatment every month or two during warm seasons. The expressway, ongoing building and the wadi create three interlocking fly sources.

Does an incomplete neighbourhood with vacant plots cause more flies than a finished district?

Yes, much more. Incomplete building with large vacant plots creates far more flies than finished neighbourhoods. Open ground and pooled water come from three sources: construction, the wadi and farms.

Does the expressway beside the neighbourhood increase Barakah's fly problem?

Yes, the expressway carries trader traffic, food service and constant movement, and flies travel on the road and wind. Barakah sits directly on the road, so external fly pressure is continuous.

When will the fly problem end in Barakah once services are finished?

As building completes, drainage organises and paving installs, flies will decrease gradually. But with the wadi and expressway present, the problem may never fully end. It will become seasonal like any established neighbourhood with external sources nearby.

How much does fly control in Barakah 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 Barakah.
