Preventive treatment in Al Falaq Al Jadid, Makkah

Targeted, not broadcast

Why they keep coming back in Al Falaq Al Jadid

Empty land between new houses provides natural shelter for rodents and small animals. Active construction churns soil and debris, bringing insects up from deep layers of earth and creating a fertile environment. The method is set out in full on how we approach Preventive treatment.

The first reason

Vacant land, pits and ongoing construction work

Large empty tracts offer ground for rodents and small animals. Excavation and building lifts insects from deep soil, and freshly turned ground after building creates a fertile breeding zone for a wide range of species.

The second reason

Building materials stacked and exposed foundations

Stacked cement, steel and bricks provide temporary shelter for rodents and insects. Exposed foundations and pits collect water after rain, creating attraction zones that draw insects towards newly built homes.

The third reason

The Fifth Ring Road and traffic flow through the zone

The ring road passes through the district and trucks and traffic carry insects. Construction vehicle movement in and out of building areas may increase pressure on the new villas standing nearby.

Landmarks of Al Falaq Al Jadid

Work in Al Falaq Al Jadid is organised through the Fifth Ring Road and Jabal Aghzul, which mark the district's boundaries and define the pressure from the higher ground. Al Laith Road is the main approach and preventive visits pivot around this access route and landmark.

Before treatment

What a preventive visit reads

A newly built quarter on large open tracts, mostly bare ground with foundation pits and scattered modern villas, crossed by the Fifth Ring Road, at the foot of Jabal Aghzul south of Makkah.

The base of an exterior wall where the building meets the ground

The base of the outside wall

The base of the outside wall in Al Falaq Al Jadid sits on damp bare ground, so the residual band must be very strong and extended well away from the house foundation.

An exterior door threshold and the gap beneath it

Gaps and openings

Gaps are few in new villas but the land surrounding each house provides pathways for rodents from the open ground and building sites all around.

An outdoor air conditioning unit with a condensate pipe on the wall

Air conditioning condensate

Air conditioning condensate drains onto bare ground in many cases, and water creates a damp zone that attracts insects and rodents to the foundation.

Floor drains

Floor drains may not yet be sealed in a district still under construction, and seeping water provides attraction for insects moving through the zone.

A drip irrigation line in damp soil beside planting

Irrigation against the wall

Home watering occurs in some villas but bare ground surrounding the house provides natural moisture sufficient to support rodent and insect activity.

The monitoring points

Monitoring points are placed around the villa and on the surrounding ground, and may be checked more frequently in a quarter under active construction.

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.
4
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.

What is different about South Makkah Sub-Municipality

South Makkah sub municipality is the belt of Crown Prince schemes south of Al Ukayshiyah, along the Al Laith road and the extension of Ibrahim Al Khalil Road to the Fifth Ring Road and the Non Muslims bypass. Most of it is still bare: granted plots awaiting houses, new villas standing alone, open building sites and unfinished paving and drainage. Wadi Uranah and its tributaries cross the low ground and hold water after rain, hills close it in, and rodents, reptiles and scorpions shelter in stacked materials and foundation pits before the neighbourhoods fill up.

Questions about this district

The new villa is surrounded by vacant land and building pits; is this dangerous?

Yes very much so. Empty land and pits provide habitat for rodents and insects that enter villas. Spraying and monitoring must be intense around every home.

Construction is ongoing around us; do we need prevention now or after building finishes?

Yes now. Construction and excavation bring insects up from the soil. The programme must start now and visits may be more frequent while building continues.

How often does the technician visit a villa in a new district like Al Falaq Al Jadid?

During construction visits may come every two months or closer. After the district is complete and building stops, visits may space out slightly.

The ground is always damp from building site spraying; does this cause more insects?

Yes, moisture attracts insects and rodents. Good ventilation and drying around the villa are essential alongside the preventive programme.

Does the nearby ring road increase insect and rodent activity?

It may raise activity slightly but the primary pressure comes from the earth and building work. Traffic may carry insects but is not the main source.

After construction finishes around the villa, does the preventive plan change?

Yes, after building stops pressure may ease somewhat. Visits may become less frequent and the programme can adjust based on what monitoring points reveal.

How much does preventive treatment in Al Falaq 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 Falaq Al Jadid.
