Mosquito control in Al Qashashiyah Al Jadid Makkah

Al Qashashiyah Al Jadid is a new scheme at the far south of Makkah between the Kasab hills and Wadi Malakan, cut by the Fifth Ring Road and the Ibrahim Al Khalil extension. Construction is moving fast across the terrain but vacant plots, open excavations and exposed pipes trap water after every rain. Each building site creates a new water collection point, and mosquitoes find refuge behind every earth mound.

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.

Why they keep coming back in Al Qashashiyah Al Jadid

The zone changes constantly as building advances, and water collects in excavations and open foundations, staying for days after rain. The method is set out in full on how we approach Mosquito control.

The first reason

Open building sites, excavations and deep foundation pits

Every building site in Al Qashashiyah Al Jadid digs deep foundations and moves earth and gravel. These pits collect water after rain even if the site's ground is normally dry. Mosquitoes breed in any pit holding water, and active sites offer an endless series of breeding opportunities.

The second reason

Vacant plots and incomplete drainage infrastructure

Large tracts of Al Qashashiyah Al Jadid remain flat vacant ground with weak or absent drainage. Water from rain or utility maintenance at nearby projects pools on these plots and may stay for weeks.

The third reason

Exposed pipes and emerging water and sewerage networks

New sewerage and water networks are constantly exposed and repaired, and exposed pipes leak and create small pools around connection points. Routine maintenance may leave network sections open, and each opening provides a water collection point for mosquitoes.

Before treatment

Standing water and shade decide the method

The scheme stretches across low ground between the Kasab Hills and Wadi Malakan south of the city, with new residential buildings rising and municipal plots offered for future development projects.

The daytime biter

The daytime biter in Al Qashashiyah Al Jadid shelters in gaps and pits around building sites, in the shade of earth mounds and exposed pipes.

The one that comes out after sunset

After sunset mosquitoes emerge from around building sites and vacant plots, seeking blood as air cools.

Air conditioner drainage from new buildings may spill directly into adjacent gaps and pits.

The tank and its openings

Temporary water storage tanks at building sites and direct water holding can be an important source.

Garden containers and irrigation

New project gardens need regular watering and overflow collects around the new foundations.

The shade it rests in

Shade from stacked earth and stored materials around sites offers temporary shelter to 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.

The character of Al Qashashiyah Al Jadid

New development: ongoing construction and vacant plots between the homes

A new development district means continuous building and constant change in conditions. Each new building phase creates fresh water sources, and treatment must adapt to the district's continuous evolution.

Questions about this district

Are active building sites the primary mosquito source in Al Qashashiyah Al Jadid?

Yes, building sites are the main source. Every foundation pit and every trench for pipe runs becomes a temporary basin after rain. Mosquitoes complete their full lifecycle before the construction site moves on.

Are vacant plots without active building work less risky than active building sites?

Vacant plots can be equally risky if drainage is poor. Water pools in depressions and shallow pits, and the scant vegetation shade offers no protection from mosquitoes.

Should treatment cover the entire building site or only the pits visible holding water?

Treating active building sites is difficult and hazardous. Better to treat around the site and the surrounding land rather than inside the site itself.

Could the new sewerage being handed to residents be incomplete in some areas?

Yes, new sewerage may need adjustments and repairs after handover. Openings and gaps in the network can cause leaks and water pooling around foundations.

Do nearby government projects watered for landscaping affect Al Qashashiyah Al Jadid?

Nearby green projects can cause high humidity and surface runoff toward Al Qashashiyah Al Jadid. But the main source in the district itself is the building work and incomplete ground.

How often should Al Qashashiyah Al Jadid be treated if building is moving at pace?

Rapid building creates new sources fast. Twice monthly treatment or treatment timed to construction speed may be needed. Co ordinating treatment with the contractor before development may prove more effective.

How much does mosquito control in Al Qashashiyah 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 Qashashiyah Al Jadid.
