Preventive treatment in Al Mahjar Jeddah

Al Mahjar lies south west of Al Wazeeriyah near the coast, with hospitals and apartment blocks, shops and restaurants along King Faisal Road and Al Mahjar Street. The district mixes residential, medical and commercial use, and insects arrive from the hospitals, restaurants and open drains. Preventive treatment here protects homes from the very high insect pressure from these nearby sources.

Why they keep coming back in Al Mahjar

The hospitals and restaurants surrounding the homes produce large quantities of waste and mixed water, and insects crawl from these sources directly towards the neighbouring residential properties. The method is set out in full on how we approach Preventive treatment.

The first reason

Proximity to hospitals and restaurants

Hospitals, restaurants and large kitchens near the quarter produce food, water and waste in huge volumes. Insects breed here rapidly and crawl from these sources directly into neighbouring homes.

The second reason

Open drainage channels and warehouses

Open stormwater channels, warehouses and markets in the quarter provide permanent damp and insect shelter. Old drainage networks leak constantly and create a damp zone around the homes.

The third reason

Position between port, refinery and industrial city

Nearness to the Islamic Port, the refinery complex and the Industrial City brings insects from sources far away. The quarter lies in the migration path of insects from coastal and industrial areas towards residential housing.

Al Mahjar on the map

Al Mahjar sits about 3 km from Al Wazeeriyah and about 4 km from Al Saruriyah.

Before treatment

What a preventive visit reads

A mixed southern district on King Faisal Road, home to large hospitals, apartment buildings, markets and food shops, situated near the Islamic Port, the refinery complex and the old popular quarter of Petromin.

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

The base of the outside wall

The foundation and ground of a home in a high-activity commercial and medical district needs residual renewal at shorter intervals and continuous monitoring.

An exterior door threshold and the gap beneath it

Gaps and openings

Gaps, windows and doors need strong protection, especially on the side facing the hospital or restaurant.

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

Air conditioning condensate

Air conditioning, refrigerator and water drains empty onto the ground, creating a damp zone attractive to insects from nearby medical and food sources.

Floor drains

Floor drains and the street near them have constant water from commercial activity, and monitoring tracks these critical points.

A drip irrigation line in damp soil beside planting

Irrigation against the wall

A small garden or courtyard next to the home is watered nearby, an additional moisture source alongside the external sources in the district.

The monitoring points

Monitoring points around the entire home, windows, door, courtyard and the side of the hospital or restaurant are read on every visit.

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 Sub-Municipality

The South sub municipality runs from the edge of Old Makkah Road down to Al Khumrah and the southern corniche. Dense residential districts sit beside new subdivisions such as Al Sanabil and Al Taawun, warehouse fringes such as Al Saruriyah and Al Sarawat, and an old seaside settlement at Al Quzayn. Open stormwater channels cross the housing, and the warehouses, the vegetable and livestock markets and the nearby Islamic Port and Industrial City give pests shelter, food and year round humidity. Pressure is greatest in the older quarters, where drainage networks are ageing.

Questions about this district

My home is right next to a large hospital. Does this bring significantly more insects?

Yes, hospitals are major sources of insects and mosquitoes. The preventive programme needs strong monitoring points on every side of the home and visits closer together than other areas.

A restaurant with a big kitchen is close by and produces lots of waste. Does this affect the flat?

Large restaurants and kitchens are direct sources of insects and flies. The external residual and monitoring focus on the side facing the restaurant, the entrance and the windows.

Open drainage channels in the street are some distance away. Do they still affect the home?

Open water in channels attracts insects and mosquitoes from a long way off. Homes nearby need stronger monitoring on their roof and courtyard.

Does the damp air coming from the port and refinery affect how well the preventive programme works?

Damp and salt air affect the external residual slightly. Regular monitoring detects any weakness in the barrier and renews it before insects enter.

How often do preventive visits come to a high pressure district like Al Mahjar?

The very high pressure from commercial and medical sources makes the threat constant. Visits come very close together, and the points are read on every call.

Does the programme protect against insects from distant sources or only from those around the home?

The programme protects the home from any source, near or far. The residual and monitoring stop insects at the outer boundary before they enter.

How much does preventive treatment in Al Mahjar 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 Mahjar.
