Mosquito control in Wali Al Ahd Makkah

Wali Al Ahd is a newly developing district south of Al Shawqiyah inside the Haram boundary, with three storey apartment blocks and residential plots still being built on new schemes. The Fourth Ring Road lies close by, construction is ongoing, and the pits, foundations and damp soil provide standing water constantly. Al Layth Road cuts through the district where shop and residential waste collects on pavements.

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 Wali Al Ahd

New apartment blocks produce water from daily cleaning and air conditioning, and open pits around the foundations fill with water immediately after rain. The method is set out in full on our Mosquito control service.

The first reason

New apartment blocks and water from cleaning and drainage

New three storey blocks produce water from daily cleaning and air conditioning runoff. The water pools in below ground voids and around the corners of new foundations.

The second reason

Residential plots under development and open pits

New residential plots under development surround the blocks, and open pits for future foundations fill with water and stand uncovered for months.

The third reason

Al Layth Road and waste and pooled water

Al Layth is a main road cutting through the district, and shops and flats beside it pour waste and water onto pavements and into the surrounding gaps.

Before treatment

Standing water and shade decide the method

The district sits inside the Haram boundary between Al Malik Fahd to the west and Al Ukayshiyah to the east, with building underway on several new schemes and wide open ground between them.

The daytime biter

The daytime biter in Wali Al Ahd rests on the walls of new apartment blocks, in below ground voids and dark corners around the new foundations.

The one that comes out after sunset

The one that comes out after sunset emerges from the pits and damp ground and from voids beneath the new apartment blocks.

Air-conditioning condensate

Air-conditioning drainage from new blocks pools in below ground spaces with cleaning runoff and floodwater.

The tank and its openings

Water tanks in each block may be a source if uncovered, but the main water comes from pits and direct surface drainage.

Garden containers and irrigation

Gardens and irrigation in the new scheme remain incomplete, but water from pits and floodwaters provide constant moisture.

The shade it rests in

The shade where the mosquito rests in Wali Al Ahd is the walls of open pits, the voids below new apartment blocks and dark corners around the foundations.

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 Shawqiyah Sub-Municipality

Al Shawqiyah sub municipality runs south from the Third Ring Road to the city's edge on the Al Layth road and the Jeddah expressway. Planned districts such as Al Shawqiyah, Al Malik Fahd and Bathaa Quraish have wide streets, villas and apartment blocks, while schemes in Wali Al Ahd are being built out and informal housing in Al Ukayshiyah and Al Zuhur is being cleared. The vegetable market and livestock auction at Souq Al Halaqa, open construction sites, the rocky slopes of Jabal Thawr and sewers still being laid through the southern fringe offer exposed food, shelter and moisture.

Questions about this district

Are open foundation pits around new construction the main mosquito source in Wali Al Ahd?

Yes. Deep open pits fill with water immediately after rain and stand uncovered for months. They are a permanent mosquito source.

Do small three storey apartment blocks produce less standing water than larger buildings?

No. Even small blocks produce water from cleaning and drainage, and water pools in voids and corners.

Does treating a single block stop the mosquitoes or do they come from the neighbouring pits?

Treating one block is not enough. Nearby pits and open ground are a permanent mosquito source.

Is fortnightly treatment sufficient in a district with ongoing construction and open pits?

Fortnightly may not be sufficient. Ongoing building and open pits need weekly or ten-day treatment cycles.

Will finishing construction and drains solve the mosquito problem in the district?

Yes. After construction, drainage and ground remediation are complete, mosquito numbers will drop significantly and treatment becomes easier and less frequent.

Are shops on Al Layth Road a separate mosquito source that needs its own treatment?

Yes. Al Layth should be treated as a separate focus. Waste and water from the shops must be addressed alongside the rest of the district.

How much does mosquito control in Wali Al Ahd 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 Wali Al Ahd.
