Preventive treatment in Al Mursalat Makkah
Al Mursalat is an apartment and hotel district that fills and empties with Hajj and Ramadan. Constant movement and fresh arrivals mean new insects entering daily. A preventive programme here must protect the shared entrances, shared pipes and roofs against insects jumping quickly between units, because the plumbing and the turnover both amplify how fast insects spread.

Why they keep coming back in Al Mursalat
Furnished flats and hotels receive new guests every few hours during peak seasons, and each arrival may carry insects from the journey or from their last place of stay. The method is set out in full on our Preventive treatment service.
Constant turnover rapidly spreads insects
These flats and hotel units receive fresh guests at speed in the seasons. Every new suitcase and entry may deliver insects. Shared foyers, lifts and stairs become highways for insects spreading between units. The programme targets these critical points and monitors them daily.
Shared pipes connect every unit to every other
All flats and hotel units connect via shared drainage and water pipes. One insect in a single unit can crawl through the pipes and enter ten others. Monitoring points inspect these pipes and the points where they breach walls between units.
Intense seasonal catering pressure
Hotels and furnished units cook daily for guests, especially during Ramadan. Food smell, oil and kitchen moisture attract insects intensely, focusing them on the kitchens and the pipes that run behind them.
Al Mursalat on the map
Al Mursalat sits about 1 km from Al Jamiah and about 2.5 km from Al Sanabel.
Open in Google MapsWhat a preventive visit reads
East of the city centre south of Al Aziziyah, close to Mina. Many apartment blocks stand tightly packed with shared entrances and shared pipes. The main King Khalid Road runs through the district with heavy traffic and dust.
The base of the outside wall
The base of the building's external wall may face a busy street. The residual band here protects against street insects and dust, and rodents from the shared ground floor areas.
Gaps and openings
Gaps around the shared entrance doors and lift openings are large and open, and the barrier targets these points to stop insects entering the building.
Air conditioning condensate
Air conditioning condensate from the upper units drips onto the hotel roof or into voids between the floors, creating damp that attracts insects.
Floor drains
Floor drains in the hotels and kitchens are often loose, and water and grease pool there. Shared pipes that breach walls carry food smell and moisture upwards.
Irrigation against the wall
Daily cleaning and hosing of the shared corridors creates high humidity on the floors. This damp attracts insects and scorpions from the voids below.
The monitoring points
Monitoring points in shared corridors, at the lift doors and around kitchen entrances track the rapid movement of insects between units during busy seasons.
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.

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 Aziziyah (Makkah) Sub-Municipality
Al Aziziyah sub municipality runs from the Bin Dawood markets to the Al Hada road and carries pilgrim traffic to Mina. Hotel towers and furnished apartment blocks fill and empty with the Hajj and Ramadan seasons, and the kitchens, restaurants and markets along Al Masjid Al Haram Road and King Abdulaziz Road leave food waste at every peak. Southwards the fabric loosens into villas and planned streets in An Naseem and Al Awali, then Al Abidiyah's campus and the old farms of Al Husayniyah, where Wadi Uranah holds water after rain and farm enclosures shelter rodents and reptiles.
Questions about this district
Fresh guests arrive every two or three days. Could they bring insects?
Yes, travel increases the risk of carrying insects from a previous hotel or journey. The programme sets a preventive barrier at the shared entrance and monitoring points on the corridor floors and around the doors.
Every unit has a kitchen and many guests cook. Does that increase insects?
Yes, greatly. Grease, crumbs and moisture in each kitchen attract food insects intensely. The programme focuses on the kitchens and the openings around pipes behind fridges and ovens.
The lift is used by all guests and staff. Could it spread insects between units?
Yes, the lift and shared stairs may carry insects from one unit to another, especially at night. Monitoring points are placed at the lift doors and in the corridors.
The hotel below me is open all day. Will insects from the foyer enter my unit through the shared wall?
Yes, this is a real risk. The preventive barrier on the shared wall between the hotel and the unit is essential, along with sealing the shared water and drainage pipes.
During Ramadan the hotels and restaurants are packed. Does pressure clearly increase?
Yes, Ramadan greatly increases pressure from the cooking, eating and constant fresh arrivals. The programme intensifies monitoring of the kitchens and drains during this period.
My unit sits directly above the hotel kitchen. Will the steam and smell always rise to me?
The preventive barrier cannot stop smell but it stops insects from climbing. Monitoring points on the shared wall and around the pipes detect any attempted entry immediately.
