Why they keep coming back in Al Rehab

Furnished apartments in Al Rehab sit close to the University of Jeddah campus, shops and small hotels, guests arrive from different regions, and constant movement of students and workers creates permanent insect pressure. The method is set out in full on what Hotels and apartments involves.

The first reason

University of Jeddah draws large numbers of students and visitors to furnished flats

The Al Rehab campus of the University of Jeddah draws students, visitors and workers year round, and nearby furnished apartments receive student tenants and temporary guests, whose luggage from different regions may carry insect eggs or live insects.

The second reason

Markets and shopping centres supply food and constant movement

Scattered shops, retail outlets and restaurants throughout Al Rehab supply crumbs, oils and food waste, and constant visitor traffic from the markets carries insects from the commercial strips into furnished apartments nearby.

The third reason

Close packed residential and villa blocks ease insect spread

Al Rehab mixes villas, apartments and residential compounds close together, and insects move easily between units via gaps, shared boundaries and gardens that separate the properties.

The character of Al Rehab

Mixed district: shops at street level with homes above them

Mixed means villas, apartments and a university campus with constant student and visitor movement, so the furnished apartment receives new student tenants and guests continuously, and treatment must focus on entry points, mattresses and luggage before each new resident arrives.

Before treatment

What we check in the room, and behind it

Al Rehab is a large district with villas, apartments, university buildings and markets, bounded by Prince Mohammed bin Abdulaziz Street to the north and Palestine Street to the south, and student and visitor traffic affects the furnished units.

A stripped hotel mattress with its edge piping visible

Mattress and base seams

Mattress seams may already harbour insects from previous students' luggage, and quick cleaning is not enough: inspection must happen before the next student arrives.

A wooden headboard fixed to the wall behind a bed

The headboard

The headboard sits beside the corridor door where student and worker foot traffic passes constantly through the residential complex.

An empty hotel corridor with guest room doors along it

The rooms either side

Adjoining rooms in the residential compound share corridors and stairwells, and insects spread rapidly between apartments via these common passages.

A luggage stand and a wardrobe in a guest room

The luggage stand and wardrobe

The luggage stand and wardrobe sit near the door opening to the shared corridor where new students and guests constantly enter with their belongings.

A small kitchen with cabinets and a sink inside a serviced apartment

The kitchenette in a unit

The kitchenette sits beside the shops and markets that emit cooking smells, drawing insects to search for food in the unit.

Industrial washing machines and linen trolleys in a laundry

Laundry and the waste room

Laundry and waste areas collect food debris and clothing scraps from students and temporary residents, which become primary insect attractants.

How we work

1
Walk the floor, room by room

We start from what the staff reported, open the beds, lift the headboards and check the rooms either side and the ones above and below, then mark each room as affected, adjacent or clear.
2
Treatment outside occupied hours

Seams are vacuumed first, then steam or a targeted application goes onto the seams and joints, dust into the frame voids and behind the skirting, and gel bait through the kitchens and service areas. Nothing is broadcast over soft furnishings.
3
Sealing, and the operating routine

We close the skirting gap, the pipe penetration and the gap under the service corridor door, then agree with the staff that linen is bagged inside the room itself, and what gets reported the moment it is seen.
4
Follow-up, and putting the room back

We come back once the remaining eggs have hatched, read the monitors and open the bed a second time. A room returns to service on the result of that inspection, and the room number and both dates go into the log.

What the hotel and apartment programme includes

A recorded room by room inspection

Beds opened, headboards lifted, neighbouring rooms checked, and the state of every room number recorded before anything is applied.
Treatment of the beds and seams

Vacuuming, then a targeted application on mattress and base seams, frame joints and behind the skirting, never across the open surfaces of the room.
Bait and points in the service areas

Gel bait and numbered monitoring positions through the kitchen, the stores and the service corridors, read and logged on every visit.
Drains, laundry and waste

Floor gullies, the grease trap, the laundry and the ground around the containers, because that is the source that renews itself daily.
Room release and staff guidance

What is covered and cleared before we go in, the ventilation time we set for each case, and what the staff look for when they strip a bed.
A timed follow-up and a room log

A second visit timed to the hatch, monitors read, and a record carrying the room number, the date of each visit and what was found.

Questions about this district

Do university students carry insects in their luggage to furnished apartments?

Yes. Students carry luggage from different regions which may harbour eggs or insects, and the furnished apartment receives these pests when the student moves in.

Is pest pressure really different between apartments near and far from the university?

Yes. Apartments close to the University of Jeddah campus face higher pressure from the movement of new students each semester and the volume of temporary residents.

Do markets and retail outlets really supply food for insects?

Yes. Markets, shops and restaurants supply crumbs and food waste, and insects move from the commercial strips into nearby apartments via gaps and shared services.

Can a villa next to the furnished apartment infest it?

Yes. Villas and apartments may sit close or share boundaries, and insects cross between a neighbouring villa and the apartment via shared walls and gaps.

How often must a furnished apartment in Al Rehab be treated?

Furnished apartments in Al Rehab need frequent treatment because pressure from students and markets is constant, and inspection should happen before each new academic semester begins.

Is the furnished apartment programme different from a villa in Al Rehab?

Yes. Furnished units have faster guest turnover and student arrivals, so the schedule must be more frequent and focus heavily on entry points, mattresses and luggage.

How much does hotels and apartments in Al Rehab 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 Rehab.
