Why they keep coming back in Al Saruriyah

Warehouses receiving daily shipments from different places may bring new insects to Al Saruriyah every week, and homes mixed with markets means continuously changing pressure. The method is set out in full on our Preventive treatment service.

The first reason

Trading and distribution warehouses surround homes

Large warehouses around the homes receive goods from sea, ships and aircraft, and may carry insects from different countries. Homes are hemmed between these warehouses and face pressure from all directions, so the programme focuses on strong barriers that are constantly updated because pressure changes with each shipment.

The second reason

Markets and proximity to the port and industrial city

The vegetable and fruit market and livestock market lie beside the district, and the port and industrial city are very close. These sources produce waste and odours that attract insects and rodents, and pressure on homes may be higher than any ordinary residential district in Jeddah.

The third reason

Damp and sea moisture and open drainage channels

Open stormwater channels run across the zone and closeness to Al Seef Beach means high sea humidity. This damp provides ideal habitat for insects coming from markets and warehouses that may establish themselves in homes.

Landmarks of Al Saruriyah

Access from the Al Laith Expressway is straightforward, and the programme schedules visits around activity at the vegetable and fruit market and livestock market and active warehouses. We focus on strong continuous protection because pressure is constant and high from all directions, and may need more frequent visits than an ordinary residential district.

Before treatment

What a preventive visit reads

A south Jeddah industrial zone beside Al Khumrah along the Al Laith Expressway. Commercial and distribution warehouses, the vegetable and fruit market and livestock market coexist with homes and medical clinics. Al Seef Beach and the southern corniche lie nearby to the west.

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

The base of the outside wall

The base of the outside wall in Al Saruriyah faces sea humidity, salt and damp from open drainage, so we place a very strong modern residual that withstands these harsh conditions.

An exterior door threshold and the gap beneath it

Gaps and openings

Gaps around pipes entering the house from neighbouring warehouses or running below ground may be weak points, so we seal them very tightly and monitor them closely.

Air conditioning condensate

Air conditioning drainage may be exposed to high sea humidity and dry slowly, so we monitor water pooling around the foundations and ensure proper and rapid drainage.

Floor drains

Floor drains may connect to open drainage channels that carry insects, so we place monitoring points around these drains and ensure nothing returns from the channels.

Irrigation against the wall

The house may have no garden, but if there is outdoor space we monitor it for water pooling or waste coming from neighbouring warehouses or markets.

The monitoring points

Monitoring points go around the foundations on all sides, at the main entrance, below ground gaps and around the outside wall. Reading the points tells us the real pressure from warehouses, markets, channels and sea damp together.

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

The house is surrounded by warehouses on all sides. Is pressure much higher than an ordinary residential district?

Yes greatly. Pressure comes from all directions at once and insects may attempt entry from more than one place simultaneously. The programme focuses on very strong barriers and we may increase visits because pressure is constant and high.

Warehouses receive goods from ships and aircraft from different countries. Could unusual insects enter the house?

Yes, new and unexpected insects may arrive with each new shipment. Monitoring points tell us of any unusual activity so we act quickly. We may increase visits when new shipments start arriving at neighbouring warehouses.

The livestock market is beside us and may carry different insects and animal pests. How do we protect the house?

The market may carry insects, rodents and animal pests. The preventive programme focuses on a strong barrier around the foundations and gaps, and monitoring points tell us any entry attempts from the market.

Sea humidity is very high. Does that mean more insects than an ordinary district?

Yes. High humidity encourages insects to approach and enter the house. The programme focuses on a strong lasting barrier that resists sea moisture, with monitoring points that read pressure continuously.

The house is close to an open drainage channel. Could it carry insects from the warehouses and markets?

Yes. Open channels may carry insects from different places. We focus on a barrier around the base of the outside wall that protects from channel entry, with monitoring points telling us pressure from that direction.

The beach is very close. Does sea humidity and salt affect how long the preventive barrier lasts?

Salt and humidity may slightly reduce barrier lifespan, so we may increase visits in Al Saruriyah more than in inland districts. We choose products prepared for high humidity and salt.

How much does preventive treatment in Al Saruriyah 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 Saruriyah.
