Preventive treatment in Al Farouq Jeddah
Al Farouq is a mixed-use district between the ring road and Old Makkah Road, with shops at street level, residential flats above and vacant plots and playing fields nearby. The shops generate high insect pressure from food waste, oils and fertiliser dust, and residents in upper flats face upward migration. Your programme separates protection by use: the external band on the shops is thicker and monitoring tracks the rising pipes that connect the floors.

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 Farouq
Shops selling fertiliser, agricultural equipment and tools in Al Farouq leave high moisture levels, and ground floor flats suffer more than upper floors. The method is set out in full on our Preventive treatment service.
Ground floor shops push insects upward through the risers
Shops selling fertiliser, garden equipment and small restaurants attract insects. Insects enter through windows and openings and climb pipes toward the flats. The band on the shop is thicker and monitoring on the rising pipes tracks insect movement floor by floor.
Vacant plots and playing fields are temporary insect refuges
Empty plots between buildings and sports fields provide seasonal shelter for insects in the warm months. Insects from those spaces migrate to the buildings when cooler weather comes. Monitoring on the side facing the vacant plots is more intensive.
The ring road creates foundation moisture from drainage
Stormwater from the ring road seeps around building foundations. The moisture attracts insects and insects climb the pipes. The band on the northern and western sides facing the road is thicker than elsewhere.
The character of Al Farouq
Mixed district: shops at street level with homes above them
Mixed-use districts combine shops generating high pressure, exposed ground floors, adjacent vacant plots and intensive irrigation. Your programme applies a thicker band on shops and separates protection by building use.
What a preventive visit reads
The district mixes commercial use and housing in one building, with ground floor shops generating moisture and food waste that attracts insects.
The base of the outside wall
The base of the external wall in Al Farouq is affected by moisture from ground floor shops and heavy irrigation, so the band is applied thick especially on the eastern and northern sides.
Gaps and openings
Gaps around shop windows are wide and the band seals them thicker than normal. Gaps on shared stairs need agreement from shop and flat owners before sealing.
Air conditioning condensate
Air conditioning condensate from the shop and flats drips on surrounding ground, making foundation moisture very high, so the band extends far on the eastern side.
Floor drains
Old floor drains in shops and flats are loose and leak water to the foundation, so the foundation band is applied double thick and moisture is measured weekly.
Irrigation against the wall
Irrigation against the shop and the empty plot raises moisture significantly, so the band extends very far on the eastern and northern sides where irrigation is most intense.
The monitoring points
Monitoring points are read weekly on shops and ground floor flats, biweekly on upper floors, and points on rising pipes tell you when insects migrate from the shop upward to the homes.
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.
Landmarks of Al Farouq
Visits are organised around Old Makkah Road and access to Abdullah ibn Rawahah Mosque for scheduling. Work starts from Haramain Road at the western edge and moves through shops and flats to Imam Ahmad ibn Hanbal Mosque at the eastern end.

Questions about this district
Can a flat owner get preventive treatment if the shop below has none?
Yes but protection is weaker. The shop pressure is very high and insects climb through risers. Points in passages and pipes tell you whether the shop also needs a programme.
Are shops selling fertiliser and equipment sources of more insects than restaurants?
Yes, fertiliser shops generate high moisture and attract soil insects. Shops selling seed and feed are equally exposed.
How often do preventive visits come to Al Farouq?
Visits come every two weeks to ground floor shops and flats, every three weeks to upper flats. Monitoring points are read weekly on all floors.
Does irrigation around a ground floor shop affect the flats above it?
Yes greatly. Irrigation raises foundation moisture and water-loving insects climb the pipes. The programme monitors pipes from the shop to the roof.
Does an irrigated playing field near the house attract insects in warm season?
Yes, watered fields attract insects especially in summer. Homes adjacent to a field need extra monitoring points on the side facing the green space.
Does Imam Ahmad ibn Hanbal Mosque nearby affect insect pressure?
Mosques receive visitors and may introduce insects from visitors' luggage. Monitoring on the side closest to the mosque is more frequent.
How much does preventive treatment in Al Farouq 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 Farouq.
