Gecko control in Al Falaq Al Jadid Makkah

Al Falaq Al Jadid south of Makkah is a new scheme of villas with vast open ground and scattered building spread across the land. Construction is incomplete and vacant plots surround every villa. Flash floods flow through the wadi and surrounding hills provide limitless gecko shelter. Treatment here requires understanding that a single villa sits surrounded by unlimited natural gecko habitat.

Why they keep coming back in Al Falaq Al Jadid

The new scheme has large openings around footings and most villas have incomplete drainage networks. Large gaps around pipes and drains offer easy gecko entry. The method is set out in full on how we approach Gecko control.

The first reason

Flash floods and lingering water in the new scheme

Wadi Uranah carries strong flood flows and water pools in ground depressions. This moisture and concentrated insects attract geckos rapidly. Weeks immediately after heavy rain see marked gecko spikes in surrounding villas.

The second reason

Extensive vacant land and scattered villa placement

New villas sit surrounded by vast bare plots while the scheme remains incomplete. Geckos spend days hidden in vacant ground and enter villas by night hunting food. Large distances enable geckos to spread easily between homes.

The third reason

Jabal Aghzul and abundant natural gecko shelter

Jabal Aghzul rings the scheme and natural shelters are abundant. Geckos arrive from the mountain and surrounding land. Treating a single villa may not stop geckos coming from these many natural refuges.

Landmarks of Al Falaq Al Jadid

From Jabal Aghzul and Al Laith Road passing through the scheme and the Fifth Ring Road, treatment starts in the villa's immediate surroundings. Located between the mountain and vacant land, geckos arrive from multiple directions and require ongoing repeat treatment.

Before treatment

The food, the opening and the crevice decide the method

Al Falaq Al Jadid is crossed by the Fifth Ring Road and sits at the foot of Jabal Aghzul. The area is ringed by hills and wadis that carry flood water after rain. This mix of open ground, hills and water means abundant insects.

House geckos in Al Falaq Al Jadid arrive from vacant plots and surrounding hills and enter villas through gaps around footings and incomplete service pipes.

Outdoor lighting

Outdoor lighting around new villas attracts dense insect activity, and geckos concentrate around these illuminated zones.

Windows in new villas have quality mesh but may sit close to ground level where drainage and pipe openings are large.

Air conditioning pipes in new villas may be open during construction. Geckos enter through these pipes easily from the surrounding land.

Meter boxes and electrical panels

Electrical panels and meter boxes in new villas sit surrounded by gaps at the foundation. These points require dedicated treatment.

Gardens and plantings around new villas provide moisture and food sources. Young plants attract dense insects and geckos follow them to the homes.

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.

What is different about South Makkah Sub-Municipality

South Makkah sub municipality is the belt of Crown Prince schemes south of Al Ukayshiyah, along the Al Laith road and the extension of Ibrahim Al Khalil Road to the Fifth Ring Road and the Non Muslims bypass. Most of it is still bare: granted plots awaiting houses, new villas standing alone, open building sites and unfinished paving and drainage. Wadi Uranah and its tributaries cross the low ground and hold water after rain, hills close it in, and rodents, reptiles and scorpions shelter in stacked materials and foundation pits before the neighbourhoods fill up.

Questions about this district

Is treating a single villa surrounded by vast vacant plots sufficient?

Villa treatment stops geckos entering temporarily but vacant ground provides a continuous source. The villa remains exposed while the bare land persists. Repeat treatment is necessary.

Are geckos coming from Jabal Aghzul or from vacant plots around the villa?

Both, the mountain and vacant land both shelter and feed geckos. Geckos inhabit everywhere around the villa. Treatment must protect the villa from every direction.

Do floods after heavy rain increase geckos in the scheme?

Yes, floods concentrate insects and lingering moisture creates ideal conditions. Weeks after heavy rain see peak gecko activity across the new scheme.

Is a villa near the Fifth Ring Road more gecko-prone?

Proximity to the road may mean more movement but geckos inhabit the entire scheme. All villas face roughly equal exposure.

Do empty newly-built villas attract more geckos?

Empty villas provide safe refuge for gecko breeding. Yes, new empty homes may attract higher gecko numbers than occupied ones.

How many times per period must a single villa be treated in Al Falaq Al Jadid?

Villas in a new scheme may need treatment every month to six weeks. Extensive vacant land means continuous reptile availability.

How much does gecko control in Al Falaq Al Jadid 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 Falaq Al Jadid.
