Gecko control in Al Shubaikah Al Jadid Makkah

Al Shubaikah Al Jadid comprises Crown Prince schemes three and four in south Makkah, new villas standing among empty plots on wide streets along Al Laith Road and Non Muslims bypass. Building is scattered, empty land offers temporary shelter for scorpions and geckos before villas fill the lots. Wadi Uranah and its tributaries cross the low ground and hold water after rain, attracting small insects and scorpions.

Why they keep coming back in Al Shubaikah Al Jadid

Geckos and scorpions arrive from Wadi Uranah and open foundation pits during construction and rapidly occupy newly completed villas. The method is set out in full on our Gecko control service.

The first reason

Wadi Uranah and seasonal moisture and insect blooms

Wadi Uranah crosses the district and its tributaries collect water in low spots and pits after rain. This seasonal moisture creates ideal conditions for small insects and scorpions. When the wadi dries, insects, scorpions and geckos search for water and food in nearby villas and vacant land.

The second reason

Empty plots and scattered building with temporary shelter

Vacant land and scattered villas create large gaps and temporary shelter for geckos and scorpions before new villas fill the lots. Most land lies empty, so geckos can move easily from plot to plot until permanent housing fills the blanks.

The third reason

Surrounding mountains and natural wildlife refuges

Mountains surrounding the new district offer natural shelter for geckos, scorpions and rodents. As construction and development advance, these wild animals migrate towards new villas searching for water and food.

Before treatment

The food, the opening and the crevice decide the method

A newly developed area on high ground with vacant plots and scattered villas, Wadi Uranah tributaries retaining water after rain on low spots and mountains surrounding the district.

The house gecko here arrives from vacant land and surrounding mountains and shelters in foundation pits and open land before villas are occupied.

Outdoor lighting

Exterior lighting on villas and roads attracts small insects from surrounding land, so geckos gather around light sources.

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

Are geckos and scorpions a problem in newly built empty villas?

Yes, vacant land and open pits offer temporary shelter. Once construction is complete, geckos and scorpions will enter villas if not properly sealed.

Should we treat for geckos before or after the villa is built?

The best approach is staged treatment: treat the land before building and treat again when the villa is complete but before residents move in, then monitor and treat again if needed after heavy rain.

Does Wadi Uranah increase gecko and scorpion problems?

Yes, water after rain provides moisture and small insects, attracting geckos and scorpions. As the wadi dries, these animals migrate to villas searching for water.

How do we keep geckos out of completed new villas?

We focus on sealing all openings and cracks before residents move in, and monitor especially after rain when insects are abundant and animals are active.

Do the surrounding mountains provide shelter for geckos?

Yes, mountains offer natural shelter. As development and construction advance, geckos may migrate towards new villas.

Is treatment safe in new empty villas before residents arrive?

Yes, treating empty villas is completely safe. We recommend treatment just before residents move in.

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