Gecko control in Al Asalah Jeddah

Al Asalah is a recently established district in far north Jeddah between Madinah Road and the Haramain expressway, close to King Abdullah Sports City and bordered by Al Falah, Al Hamdaniyah, Taibah and Al Firdaws. Wadi Obhur passes through it and its villas and apartment buildings are still being built out, some streets remain unpaved and the drainage network is incomplete.

Why they keep coming back in Al Asalah

Geckos appear rapidly in newly built incompletely finished villas, and the excavations around them provide shelter and attract insects that draw geckos continuously. The method is set out in full on Gecko control in detail.

The first reason

New villas under construction and incomplete finishes

Villas under construction or newly handed over may lack full protective sealing. The large excavations and foundation gaps around buildings provide easy entry for geckos before construction even completes, and persist for months after initial occupancy.

The second reason

Wadi Obhur dampness and open excavations

Wadi Obhur runs through the district and soil is damp with extensive uncovered drainage excavations. These excavations provide safe refuge for geckos and dense insect populations.

The third reason

Incomplete streets and inadequate drainage

Several streets remain unpaved and drainage networks are incomplete, creating damp ground and zones where standing water collects. Water and dampness continuously attract dense insect populations that sustain geckos.

Al Asalah on the map

Al Asalah sits about 5.5 km from South Obhur and about 11 km from Al Basatin.

Before treatment

The food, the opening and the crevice decide the method

The buildings are recent but drainage networks are incomplete and open excavations remain visible. The soil is damp because of Wadi Obhur's proximity, attracting dense insect populations year round.

The house gecko enters new villas through open foundation excavations, gaps in incomplete walls and unsealed window openings.

Outdoor lighting

Night lighting of new villas and around excavations attracts insects in very large numbers, and geckos hunt at night before sheltering in excavations and foundation cracks.

Window mesh

Window mesh is completely absent in villas under construction, and open windows for ventilation provide easy entry.

Air conditioner sleeve gaps in most new villas remain unsealed for months, allowing direct gecko entry into the building.

Gardens are under development and new irrigation creates extremely damp soil around the villas, attracting dense insect populations continuously.

How we work

1
Inspect at night and find the source

We come at the hour it is actually moving, and establish which wall face it is living on, which lights are gathering its food, the entry points and the crevices it wedges into by day.
2
Treat the food source

We treat the flying and crawling insects on the wall faces, around the perimeter and around the lighting. Once the food goes, the wall stops being worth staying on.
3
Close the openings and clear the crevices

We seal the air-conditioner sleeve, screen the vents and drain outlets, deal with the underside of doors, and place a repellent in the crevices and behind panels so they move out before anything is closed.
4
The follow-up visit

We come back once the glued eggs have hatched, check the seals held, and re-treat any wall face where activity has returned.

What gecko control includes

A recorded night inspection

Wall faces, lighting, entry points and egg sites, all established before anything is applied.
Treating the insects on the walls

Targeted treatment around lighting, windows and the building perimeter, because the food is what keeps it there.
Placed repellent in the crevices

Behind panels, in wall joints and at the ceiling-void entries, where it sits out the day.
Screening vents and drain openings

Shafts, vents and the condensate outlet, which are entry points nobody looks at.
Aftercare instructions

Ventilation, what to cover, and the change to the outside lighting that stops the insects gathering again.
A scheduled follow-up

A set date after the first treatment, a check on the seals and re-treatment of anything still active.

Landmarks of Al Asalah

We access the district via Prince Talal bin Mansour Road from the south, working between Al Mutasim Billah Street and Al Asalah Public Park where new villas and apartments concentrate. Treatment begins at foundation excavations and extends through all gaps around each villa.

Questions about this district

Are newly built incompletely finished villas more exposed to geckos?

Absolutely. Incomplete villas have large gaps and foundation excavations that provide easy entry. Gecko protection must begin before construction finishes to prevent invasion.

Does the nearby wadi increase gecko and insect problems here?

Yes. The wadi supplies dampness and insects, and the foundation excavations around villas provide shelter. Our treatment focuses on sealing these excavations and foundation gaps.

Should we treat a villa before residents move in or after occupation?

Pre occupancy treatment is preferable, especially if the villa remains incomplete. Early treatment prevents large gecko populations establishing before occupancy.

Do open foundation excavations around villas provide gecko shelter?

Absolutely. Open excavations create damp conditions rich in insect food. We focus on sealing these excavations and the gaps around foundations thoroughly.

Is regular treatment necessary in this new district?

Yes. The new district will continue attracting geckos from the wadi and damp soil. Periodic treatment is worthwhile especially after construction completes and occupation begins.

Are damp cracks around foundations more dangerous than dry ones?

Yes. Damp conditions around foundations continuously supply both food and shelter. Treatment must be thorough and comprehensive around all foundation perimeters.

How much does gecko control in Al Asalah 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 Asalah.
