Gecko control in Al Aziziyah Makkah

Al Aziziyah lies about six kilometres from the Haram on the pilgrims' route to Mina, a busy commercial and hotel zone packed especially during Ramadan and Hajj. Hotel towers, markets, warehouses and the bus station make it a centre of constant movement. Hotels, restaurants and shops provide food and water, and ongoing building and development leave gaps and openings everywhere.

Why they keep coming back in Al Aziziyah

Al Aziziyah draws large flows of pilgrims and Umrah visitors especially in season, and hotels, restaurants and markets are very crowded. Food scraps from markets and restaurants provide abundant food for insects. The method is set out in full on our Gecko control service.

The first reason

Tall hotel towers

Tall hotel towers in Al Aziziyah offer cracks in facades and on roofs. Hotels operate around the clock and restaurants draw insects. Geckos hide in cracks and gaps and hunt insects all night.

The second reason

Dense markets, restaurants and shops

Markets, restaurants and shops in Al Aziziyah provide abundant food and waste. Insects cluster at doors, exits and corners. Geckos wait beside restaurants, shops and openings.

The third reason

Bus station and vacant sites

The bus station, excavated ground and vacant lots provide gecko routes. Continuous building and vacant plots offer many openings and cracks. Moisture from roads and surfaces draws insects.

Before treatment

The food, the opening and the crevice decide the method

Al Aziziyah is cut by King Abdulaziz Road, Al Masjid Al Haram Road and Prince Sultan Road. Commercial density is very high and hotels, markets and restaurants work day and night. Building and development are continuous and vacant plots and excavation sites are common.

Geckos in Al Aziziyah hide in cracks and gaps between tall hotel towers and commercial buildings. High density and numerous gaps provide safe shelter, so we treat external cracks and openings.

Outdoor lighting

Lighting in hotels, markets and stations attracts insects from restaurants and shops. Geckos wait beside lights, openings and dark corners. We treat around lights and openings.

Window mesh

Window mesh in hotels and shops may be torn from heavy use. We inspect and seal mesh in all hotels, shops, restaurants and stations.

Air-conditioner pipes passing through an outside wall

The air-conditioner sleeve

Air conditioner sleeves and pipes in hotels and commercial buildings are direct wall openings. Gaps around pipes are large so we treat them carefully with ongoing sealing.

Meter boxes and electrical panels

Electrical panels and switches in hotels and shops hold gaps and cracks. Insects hide in them and geckos dig for them. We treat panels with high precision.

The garden and the irrigation

Parks and irrigation are rare in a commercial hotel zone, but roads, surfaces and excavated ground hold moisture that draws insects and geckos.

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.

The character of Al Aziziyah

Commercial area: offices, showrooms and small stores

A commercial hotel zone means hotels, markets, restaurants and stations operate around the clock without pause. Food, waste and cooking oils provide continuous food for insects and geckos. Ongoing building and development creates new gaps and openings.

Questions about this district

Are hotels concentrated in Al Aziziyah because of distance from the Haram?

Yes, Al Aziziyah is a commercial hotel zone on the pilgrims' route. Hotels, markets and restaurants attract insects and draw geckos.

Why does the gecko problem worsen during Ramadan and Hajj?

In season hotels are full and restaurants work late. Food scraps and waste increase and insects swarm. Geckos thrive where food and activity are highest.

Will treating a commercial hotel affect visitors?

Treatment is safe for visitors because we focus on passages, restaurants and shared spaces. We avoid hotel guest rooms and focus on commercial and service areas.

How often does a hotel in Al Aziziyah need treatment?

Hotels and commercial zones may need treatment monthly or every six weeks. Insects enter constantly from markets and streets so ongoing monitoring is needed.

What about gaps and excavated sites throughout the area?

Excavated ground and ongoing building leave many gaps and openings. Geckos and insects settle in them. We treat openings and gaps around building sites.

Do you treat large markets and bus stations?

Yes, markets and stations feed insects and attract geckos. We focus on exits, openings and gaps around restaurants, shops and service shafts.

How much does gecko control in Al Aziziyah 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 Aziziyah.
