Gecko control in Al Jumayzah Makkah

Al Jumayzah is a small district close to the Haram along Al Hajoun Street and Al Masjid Al Haram Road, with apartment blocks and modest hotels housing Umrah visitors and restaurants serving them. The neighbourhood is relatively old and buildings sit close together, and the stream of permanent and temporary residents plus the insects drawn to food create stable conditions for geckos.

Why they keep coming back in Al Jumayzah

Small hotels and flats in Al Jumayzah host permanent Umrah visitors, and food and waste leave traces behind. Insects settle in the older buildings and geckos hunt them all night. The method is set out in full on Gecko control in detail.

The first reason

Small hotels and apartment blocks standing close

Small hotels and apartment buildings in Al Jumayzah stand very close together and gaps between side walls are narrow but present. Each hotel building holds a small kitchen or restaurant. Geckos move between buildings via gaps and cracks.

The second reason

Small restaurants and kitchens

Small hotels and flats hold simple kitchens and restaurants serving Umrah visitors. Food and waste attract insects, and geckos wait beside restaurants and exits.

The third reason

Cracks and gaps in foundations

Old buildings and tightly packed foundations offer many cracks. The sloping ground and nearness to the cemetery provide moisture. Geckos hide in cracks between buildings and in foundations.

Before treatment

The food, the opening and the crevice decide the method

Al Jumayzah sits on a slope between the Haram and the cemetery and historic palace, its streets narrow and buildings very close. Construction is older, foundations are tightly spaced and moisture from the nearness to the Haram and cemetery is high.

Geckos in Al Jumayzah hide in cracks between close-packed hotels and apartment blocks. High density and narrow gaps provide safe shelter, so we treat cracks and gaps between side walls.

Outdoor lighting

District lighting attracts insects from small restaurants and kitchens. Geckos wait beside windows and exits. We treat corners and gaps around lights and openings.

Window mesh in small hotels may be old or torn. We inspect and seal mesh in all flats, passages and small eateries.

The air-conditioner sleeve

Air conditioner sleeves and pipes in small hotels are direct wall openings. Gaps around pipes are relatively large so we treat them carefully.

Meter boxes and electrical panels

Electrical panels and switches in hotels and shared spaces hold cracks. Insects hide in them and geckos dig for them. We treat panels carefully.

Parks and irrigation are near Al Mualla cemetery and the historic palace. Seepage and moisture create damp conditions that draw 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 Jumayzah

Apartment district: residential blocks, repeated floors and shared entrances

A residential district of flats and small hotels means residents are permanent and temporary Umrah visitors. Food and waste leave constant traces and draw insects. Treatment focuses on passages, kitchens and shared gaps rather than private rooms.

Questions about this district

Are the small hotels the core gecko problem in Al Jumayzah?

Yes, small hotels host permanent Umrah visitors and food and waste leave constant traces. Rented flats and small restaurants feed insects and attract geckos.

Why are geckos so common in a district this close to the Haram?

The Haram is surrounded by eateries and commercial spaces that draw insects. Geckos follow the insects and the warmth. The nearby district hosts Umrah visitors who leave food and waste.

Is treatment safe in small hotels because they are so close to the Haram?

Yes, treatment is safe because we use products approved for occupied spaces. We focus on passages, kitchens, openings and shared gaps and avoid guest rooms.

How often do small hotels need treatment?

Small hotels may need treatment every two or three months because of constant visitor flow. We set frequency after the first inspection and ongoing monitoring.

What about cracks between old, closely packed buildings?

Cracks between old buildings are present and provide gecko shelter. We treat cracks and gaps between side walls and around pipes.

Do you treat small restaurants and kitchens in the hotels?

Yes, small restaurants and kitchens feed insects and attract geckos. We focus on exits, openings and gaps around pipes and service shafts.

How much does gecko control in Al Jumayzah 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 Jumayzah.
