Preventive treatment in Al Awali Makkah
Al Awali is a villa district laid out in the nineteen nineties on the high ground southeast of Makkah, where each home sits on a private plot with its own garden and boundary wall. The daily watered gardens and stone boundaries mean preventive treatment here starts at the outer perimeter of the property, not at the front door, because the moisture and the open ground harbour insects long before they reach the house itself.

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 Awali
Daily garden watering creates constant damp soil at the wall and foundation base. The insect pressure here is higher than in compounds without gardens because the habitat is wetter and more stable. The method is set out in full on Preventive treatment in detail.
Watered gardens and the stone boundary wall
Each villa is surrounded by a wall and daily-watered garden. This moist habitat attracts insects and rodents. The preventive programme starts at the perimeter before insects reach the wall, reading the outer band and the foundation line to stop insects crossing inward.
Slow drainage and elevated saturated soil
Al Awali sits on high ground but daily watering leaves the soil slow to drain. Moisture pools at the wall base. This creates ideal breeding ground. The programme tracks this damp zone with dedicated monitoring points.
Open space between villas and the district-wide pressure
Villas are spaced apart, each walled, but insects do not respect boundaries. They travel through shared soil and vegetation. The preventive programme covers the entire plot perimeter because insect pressure comes from the whole district, not just the neighbours.
The character of Al Awali
Villa district: private plots, gardens and a boundary wall to every house
Villas with private gardens mean insects enter from the garden, not the street. The preventive programme defends the perimeter first, which reduces the pressure reaching the house interior.
What a preventive visit reads
Every villa is enclosed by walls and surrounded by a garden that the owner waters daily. The elevated soil drains slowly. The older stone walls may be hollow and offer shelter to insects and rodents in the soil and cracks.
The base of the outside wall
The wall base must carry a strong external residual band, especially where the wall meets the watered ground and the moisture line is highest.
Gaps and openings
Gaps around water and drainage lines in the garden must be sealed or monitored, because moisture there attracts insects and roots can break seals.
Air conditioning condensate
Air conditioning condensate from the house may drain into the garden, adding moisture at the foundation base that must be tracked.
Floor drains
Floor drains inside and outside the house need tight covers and regular inspection because insects can climb from underground, especially in damp soil.
Irrigation against the wall
Irrigation against the wall happens daily here, keeping soil moist year-round at the house and wall base, the highest-risk zone.
The monitoring points
Monitoring points sit on the outer wall perimeter, around the house base, and in the garden near water sources and drainage, reading the moisture gradient.
How we work
-
1
The baseline survey
We walk the outside boundary and then the inside: gaps under doors, pipe runs, vents, condensate lines, drains, the bin area and the store, and we fix the monitoring points before anything is applied.
-
2
Close the routes
Mesh on the vents, the gap under the door dealt with, the sleeve around a pipe run closed, and water put back into the drain nobody uses. Exclusion saves a spray that would otherwise repeat forever.
-
3
The band and the placed product
A residual band at the base of the wall outside and around door and window openings, with placed product inside joints and closed voids where it is warranted, and no open spray across living surfaces.

The scheduled visit: read, renew, record
We read the points to see which side is under pressure, renew the band where sun or irrigation has taken it, aim the visit at what the coming season opens up, and write down what was found and what was used.
What the preventive programme includes
-
A survey, then a check every visit
Entry points, moisture sources and storage, recorded before anything is applied and revisited each time.
-
Monitoring points that get read
At the wall and floor junction, under sinks and in the store, checked on every visit rather than only the last one.
-
A renewed exterior band
At the wall base and around the openings, put back wherever sun or irrigation took it between visits.
-
Drains, water lines and waste
The water seal in the drains, the condensate line and the ground around the bins, which are the standing water and food sources.
-
Between the visits
What to keep dry, what to keep closed, and what is worth a call before the next date. Ventilation we tell you before the visit.
-
A scheduled visit and a record of each
An agreed date, what the points held, what was treated, and what changed since last time.

Questions about this district
Does watering the garden daily increase how often the visits come?
Yes. Daily watering keeps the soil moist constantly, which attracts and sustains insects. Visits may come weekly during spring and summer instead of once every ten days.
Can the old stone walls be hollow inside and house insects and rodents?
Old stone walls can be hollow and provide passages for insects and rodents. The base of the wall and any visible cracks must be inspected and sealed or monitored.
Does the distance between villas reduce the need for a preventive programme?
No. Distance between plots does not protect them. Insects travel through shared soil and vegetation. The programme must protect the entire plot perimeter.
Are monitoring points placed inside the garden or only at the outer boundary?
Points sit at both the outer and inner wall lines, and in the garden near any water or drainage. This tells us where insects come from and when.
Is the external residual band at the wall base enough, or does the garden itself need treatment?
The band at the wall is foundational, but the garden only needs monitoring points. Large trees and shrubs may harbour insects that later move toward the house.
How often does the technician visit a villa with a watered garden each week?
Weekly during spring and summer when insects are active, every ten days in winter, following what the monitoring points show rather than a fixed schedule.
How much does preventive treatment in Al Awali 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 Awali.
