Mosquito control in Al Adl Makkah

Al Adl is an eastern extension along King Faisal Road and the fourth ring road, filled with apartment blocks and pilgrim housing with a health centre serving the area. Jabal Al Nour bounds it to the north, Al Rawdah to the south and the holy sites to the east. Mosquitoes breed in shared drains of tightly grouped buildings, in the health centre's drainage and in roof tanks that leak portions of their water directly into the soil.

Targeted, not broadcast

Product goes into cracks and runways, never sprayed across open surfaces.
Told before we start

What we will use, where it goes, and what to cover or move before we arrive.
A follow-up visit

We return after the first treatment, because what survives it does not show on the day.
Homes and businesses

Apartments and villas, and kitchens and stores that need a record of each visit.

Why they keep coming back in Al Adl

Roof tanks on closely grouped buildings leak into the narrow gaps between them, and water moves slowly underground through the soil. The method is set out in full on our Mosquito control service.

The first reason

Low ground naturally collects water

Al Adl occupies ground lower than the hills around it, so rainwater from the district itself and all the slopes around it drains downward into this single zone.

The second reason

Tightly grouped building drains leak sideways

Apartment buildings stand so close that drains leak into the narrow gaps between them. Water moves slowly underground and stays trapped in the soil.

The third reason

The health centre releases large volumes daily

The health centre uses vast amounts of water and its drainage enters the soil surrounding the entire district, creating permanent dampness.

The character of Al Adl

Apartment district: residential blocks, repeated floors and shared entrances

Apartment blocks here have been converted partly into temporary pilgrim housing, so there is no single responsible manager for central maintenance. Roof tanks may be left without regular replacement of their water.

Before treatment

Standing water and shade decide the method

The district sits in relatively low lying ground between two hills, where rainwater and neighbourhood drainage collect naturally.

The daytime biter

The daytime biter emerges from narrow gaps between tightly grouped buildings where sun never reaches directly.

The one that comes out after sunset

The one that comes after sunset breeds in standing water in the low soil and in shared drains running beneath all the structures.

Air-conditioning condensate

Air conditioning condensate from flats drains into shared pipes that run through the soil beneath the district.

The tank and its openings

Roof tanks on buildings leak through pipes into the narrow gaps and into the ground surrounding each building.

Garden containers and irrigation

The health centre discharges large volumes of water into the soil around the district on a continuous basis.

The shade it rests in

Permanent shade between closely grouped buildings makes them ideal year-round shelter for resting adult mosquitoes.

How we work

1
Inspect and map the water

We walk the perimeter, the roof, the garden, the meter chambers and the condensate runs, record everything that holds water, and read the species from the breeding site and the time of biting.
2
Remove the water that can go

Empty, invert, cover: saucers, containers, old tyres and roof gullies. Every point that disappears is a treatment that never needs repeating.
3
Larval treatment, then the resting surfaces

Water that cannot be drained is treated so the larva never completes, then a residual goes under planting, beneath outdoor furniture and along low shaded walls.
4
The follow-up visit

We come back once the generation that was in the water on the first visit has completed, review every point we recorded and re-treat where needed.

What mosquito control includes

A recorded water survey

Roof, perimeter, garden, meter chambers and condensate lines, written down before anything is applied.
Draining and covering the sources

Emptying what can be emptied, draining what can be drained, and covering what has to stay full.
Larval treatment for the water that stays

For ground tanks, inspection chambers, water features and any permanent water that has to remain.
A residual on the resting places

Under trees and shrubs, beneath outdoor furniture and on shaded walls, where the adult sits out the day.
Aftercare instructions

What stays inverted, what gets covered, which openings need mesh, and when watering goes back to normal.
A scheduled follow-up

A set date after the first treatment, with every recorded water point reviewed and re-treated if the water came back.

What is different about Al Maabdah Sub-Municipality

Al Maabdah sub municipality climbs from Al Abtah and Al Jumayzah beside the Al Mualla cemetery up through Al Khansa and Rai Adhakhir to Al Adl, Jabal Al Nour, Wadi Jaleel and Qurtubah on the outer ring roads. It mixes hotels and pilgrim housing near the Grand Mosque with old popular houses on hillside passes, new housing schemes on valley floors that carry flash floods after rain, and industrial plots, workshops and warehouses along Al Hajj Street in Qurtubah. Street widening and expropriation leave partly demolished frontages in Al Khansa.

Questions about this district

Is the low ground in Al Adl a seasonal mosquito source?

Yes, within days of rain a major spike appears because water collects in the low soil and remains trapped for weeks.

Does the health centre drain feed mosquitoes across the whole district?

Yes, the centre uses enormous amounts of water full of organic matter, and this drainage attracts mosquitoes throughout.

Is treating a single flat enough or must the whole district be treated?

The whole district needs coordinated treatment, because drains and soil are shared beneath all the buildings.

Does Jabal Al Nour itself raise mosquito numbers in Al Adl?

The hill itself may not be a source, but small valleys around it may trap water in the dry season.

Do older neighbouring districts affect mosquitoes in Al Adl?

They might, especially if their drains run toward Al Adl or if their roof tanks are positioned on boundaries.

How long after treating the whole district should mosquitoes noticeably drop?

At least two weeks, because water trapped in the soil requires repeated treatment cycles to drain completely.

How much does mosquito control in Al Adl 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 Adl.
