Why they keep coming back in Al Hajlah Al Jadid

Active building leaves vast gaps between completed units and structures still under construction, and these open spaces are natural refuges for rodents and reptiles before they reach the homes. The method is set out in full on the full Preventive treatment page.

The first reason

Construction ongoing with isolated units in open space

New residential units are separated by large open spaces, vacant plots and exposed foundation pits. Rodents and reptiles are not confined to one path but move across bare ground choosing from dozens of emerging buildings. A single home sits isolated in a landscape of holes and dust.

The second reason

Wadi Uranah carries seasonal water and moisture

The seasonal wadi course runs through Al Hajlah Al Jadid and holds water after rain. Depressions around units become shallow pools attracting rodents, aquatic insects and water snakes. The ground stays damp longer than in older built-up areas.

The third reason

Building materials and equipment lie exposed around homes

Piles of stone, sand, brick stacks and building pipes sit openly around each new structure. These provide immediate shelter for rodents, scorpions and snakes before they move into the home itself. Equipment compounds double as pest shelter.

The character of Al Hajlah Al Jadid

New development: ongoing construction and vacant plots between the homes

New development means completely open spaces between units and active building means exposed shelter for rodents and reptiles. Preventive treatment falls on an isolated home in utterly open ground, so we anchor the outside boundary protection from the first visit.

Before treatment

What a preventive visit reads

Bare earth and white land parcels with open foundation pits between scattered buildings, while Wadi Uranah runs through the area and holds water after rain.

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

The base of the outside wall

The base of the new home's outside wall sits in bare earth and building ground, so we lay a strong band on the foundation and corners where rodents search for entry.

An exterior door threshold and the gap beneath it

Gaps and openings

Gaps around pipes and cables on the new home are often too wide because construction is recent, so we treat around them directly.

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

Air conditioning condensate

New unit air conditioning drainage may shed onto damp soil around the foundation, creating permanent wet patches.

Floor drains

Floor drains around the new home may not be finished yet or connected to temporary networks, so we monitor them carefully.

A drip irrigation line in damp soil beside planting

Irrigation against the wall

Irrigation in surrounding playing fields and green spaces raises the moisture level around the foundation.

A closed monitoring station at the foot of a wall

The monitoring points

Monitoring points around the new home tell us about potential rodent sources: the vacant plots, active building and the seasonal wadi.

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 unit is brand new. Do insects already live here or do I bring them in furniture?

New construction and the open land around the area are natural sources of rodents, reptiles and insects. The preventive programme protects the outside walls and openings before these creatures enter the new home.

The surrounding land is still under construction. Does the programme cover outside too?

The programme focuses on protecting the home itself: the outside wall, openings and foundation. Coverage of the surrounding open ground depends on what we see during visits and what the monitoring points record.

Once building finishes on the surrounding plots, do we keep the preventive treatment?

Yes, but the pressure changes. When buildings complete around the unit, open gaps shrink and rodent pathways narrow, but denser housing brings new food sources.

Wadi Uranah runs alongside us. Does it change how the preventive programme works?

Yes, the wadi is present every rain season. After heavy rain, water pools around the home's foundation, and we read the monitoring points to decide whether rodent activity is rising.

Sports pitches and green spaces in the district. Do they draw insects towards us?

Pitches and green spaces attract pollinating insects and wasps, but they have less effect than bare land and active building sites. We focus on the home's outside boundary.

How long before the entire district settles and building stops?

That depends on construction pace and the master plan. Monitoring points tell us about changing pressures, and we will advise you when the pest risks start to shift.

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