Why they keep coming back in Al Lulu

Villas on the Al Lulu coast need constant cleaning of salt and damp, and the lawns and public park are watered daily, so water and humidity are available all year. The method is set out in full on Preventive treatment in detail.

The first reason

Salt, humidity and metals corrode

Salt laden sea air seeps into buildings, metals and furniture. High humidity creates ideal conditions for mould and insects, and rust and corrosion happen fast in this climate.

The second reason

Irrigated gardens and constant food

The public park and private gardens are watered daily, growing plants and flowers that feed insects. Water collects around villa and apartment walls.

The third reason

Restaurants, resorts and coastal pressure

Resort restaurants and shops around the public park drop waste that feeds insects and rodents. Different tourists and visitors carry insects trapped in luggage.

Landmarks of Al Lulu

Villas and apartments along Obhur Road are reached by visits using the main road, with the service base at Al Lulu Park in the centre, reaching up to Al Suyuti Mosque which marks the strip's boundary.

Before treatment

What a preventive visit reads

Al Lulu is a small coastal strip along Obhur Road between Al Zumurrud to the north and Al Amwaj and Al Shira to the south, with modern villas and apartments right on the beach, and salt air and humidity are very high.

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

The base of the outside wall

The base of a coastal villa's outside wall needs a very tight band because humidity and salt seep from the soil and air.

An exterior door threshold and the gap beneath it

Gaps and openings

Gaps around pipes and windows must be sealed then read regularly because salt and humidity may erode them.

Air conditioning condensate

Water from the park and irrigation collects around the outside wall. The band needs renewal more often than in other districts.

Floor drains

Floor drains may block from sand and salt, and water may pool beneath the floor.

A drip irrigation line in damp soil beside planting

Irrigation against the wall

An irrigated garden beside the villa provides constant food and water. Monitoring focuses on openings facing the garden.

A closed monitoring station at the foot of a wall

The monitoring points

Monitoring points sit on outside and inside walls and around windows and pipes, and are read at every visit because coastal pressure is very high.

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 Dhahban Sub-Municipality

Dhahban sub municipality is the northern coastal strip of Jeddah, running from the north bank of Sharm Obhur up to the old village of Dhahban and Salman Bay. Its districts are recently built, with owner occupied villas and apartments, beach resorts and chalets on the shore, and land subdivisions still being developed. Nearness to the sea keeps humidity high all year, irrigated lawns in villas, resorts and district parks hold water, Wadi Obhur and the vacant plots between buildings give rodents and reptiles shelter, and the old fishing village of Dhahban gives the far north a rural edge.

Questions about this district

Does sea humidity mean more insects than other districts in Jeddah?

Yes, coastal humidity creates ideal conditions for insects and mould. The preventive programme here focuses on constant monitoring and a very tight external band.

Do holiday apartments provide better conditions for insects than ordinary homes?

Yes, holiday flats and coastal resorts provide high humidity and many visitors. The programme inspects rooms and kitchens more frequently.

Equipment and metals in coastal hotels suffer from salt corrosion. Does that disrupt the preventive programme?

No, the programme uses products safe on metals and equipment. But rust and corrosion happen fast and you may need separate maintenance.

How many times do we visit Al Lulu in a single season? Does the season change visit frequency?

Visits may be weekly or twice weekly in high humidity seasons, and the tourist season may increase visit frequency.

Does the public park provide natural protection for neighbouring villas or add pressure to them?

The park adds pressure because it attracts wild insects and rodents. Neighbouring villas need extra protection facing the park.

Does sea humidity mean preventive spray does not last as long?

Yes, high humidity may shorten the life of the external band, so monitoring and renewal may be more frequent than in dry districts.

How much does preventive treatment in Al Lulu 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 Lulu.
