Preventive treatment in Al Khalidiyah Makkah

Al Khalidiyah is a mixed district in south western Makkah between Al Hindawiyah and Al Shawqiyah, with land grant plots and traditional houses alongside apartment blocks and extensive unplanned areas. Sitting some distance from the central bustle with mixed planning means hazy boundaries between shelter, food and moisture. Preventive treatment protects homes from the insects that arrive from the vacant plots and unplanned zones nearby.

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 Khalidiyah

Vast vacant plots and unplanned areas provide natural habitat for insects and rodents, and insects crawl gradually from these zones towards the neighbouring homes. The method is set out in full on our Preventive treatment service.

The first reason

Vacant plots and unplanned areas

Vast vacant ground around the quarter provides shelter, soil and natural water for insects. This is the main insect source, and they crawl slowly from there towards neighbouring homes.

The second reason

Mix of new plots with old traditional houses

New land grant plots sitting beside old traditional buildings mean different maintenance levels and different gaps. Insects find different shelter in each home, and the external barrier needs precise adjustment.

The third reason

Distance from the centre and adjacent moisture

Relative distance from the centre means open ground between streets and homes. Air here is less damp than in old quarters, but the nearby public garden and watering raise seasonal humidity.

Landmarks of Al Khalidiyah

Al Khalidiyah lies between the Third and Second Ring Roads, and visits approach via Ibrahim Al Khalil Street or Prince Mansour Street crossing through. Borders with Al Hindawiyah, Al Rusayfah and Al Taqwa are clear, and visits pass through the quiet internal streets towards the outer boundaries.

Before treatment

What a preventive visit reads

A mixed south western district between Al Hindawiyah and Al Shawqiyah, with land grant plots, traditional houses, apartment blocks and wide vacant tracts, small public gardens scattered through, bounded by Jurhum and Al Taqwa to the east and Al Rusayfah to the west.

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

The base of the outside wall

The foundation and wall on the boundary of vacant plots need strong residual where it meets soil, sand and wild vegetation.

An exterior door threshold and the gap beneath it

Gaps and openings

Gaps around the wall and the quarter and around old house foundations provide many routes for insects to enter.

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

Air conditioning condensate

Air conditioning and refrigerator drains empty onto the ground or back courtyard, creating seasonal damp at the outer boundary.

Floor drains

Floor drains in the yard and around the public garden need seasonal monitoring, especially in the rainy season.

A drip irrigation line in damp soil beside planting

Irrigation against the wall

The nearby public garden and watering in the private yard create seasonally damp zones around the home.

A closed monitoring station at the foot of a wall

The monitoring points

Monitoring points on the outer boundary, walls, foundation and yard are read on every visit to detect any activity.

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 Al Misfalah Sub-Municipality

Al Misfalah sub municipality runs downhill from the south of the Grand Mosque through Al Misfalah, Kudai and Al Rawabi to Al Taqwa, Al Hindawiyah, Al Khalidiyah and Al Rusayfah at the third ring road. The northern end is old apartment blocks and pilgrim hotels with restaurants along Ibrahim Al Khalil Street and the huge coach parks at Kudai. The south and west are dense popular districts with countless small shops and unplanned hillside housing, some of it already cleared for redevelopment, giving way to orderly land grant schemes in Al Rusayfah beside the railway station.

Questions about this district

There is a large vacant plot next to the home. Does wild insect ground breed near by?

Yes, vast vacant plots provide natural habitat for insects and rodents. They crawl slowly from there towards the home, and the external residual and monitoring stop them at the boundary.

My home is old and the neighbour lives in a new land grant plot. Is the new plot better for my old home?

The new plot is better because it is planned and better maintained. However, the boundary between old and new may be an entry point for insects. The programme protects each home individually.

The public park nearby has many trees and heavy watering. Does this bring more insects to the home?

The damp public garden is a water and food source. Homes near the park need stronger monitoring on the yard boundary and wall.

The main street is close but the quarter is fairly quiet. Does this reduce insects?

Relative quiet may reduce insect traffic from the street a little. However, the vacant plots and the public garden remain major sources.

The home is in a new plot surrounded by vacant land. Does a new plot need preventive treatment immediately?

Yes, even a new plot surrounded by vacant ground needs protection. Preventive treatment guards the outer boundary from the start.

How often do preventive visits come to a mixed district like Al Khalidiyah?

Visit frequency follows what the monitoring points read. The vacant plots and public garden may make the threat more seasonal than constant.

How much does preventive treatment in Al Khalidiyah 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 Khalidiyah.
