Why they keep coming back in Al Shubaikah Al Jadid

Rodents, scorpions and reptiles migrate from the valleys, exposed ground and surrounding hills, entering new villas through gaps around their foundations. The method is set out in full on our Preventive treatment service.

The first reason

The valleys and water after rain

The valleys carry water after rain and it reaches low-lying ground very quickly. This sudden water drives rodents, scorpions and reptiles from their shelters searching for dry ground. Villas beside the valleys or on low ground become ideal refuge. The external band must be very strong and the wall base must be raised high above ground level.

The second reason

The surrounding hills and rocky terrain

Jabal Labnah and Jabal Kasab surrounding the schemes provide natural habitat for rodents, scorpions and reptiles. These creatures migrate from the hills towards the new villas seeking water and food. The programme focuses intensively on elevations facing the hills.

The third reason

Scattered construction and large empty spaces

Construction is scattered across the ground with villas spaced apart and empty plots between them. Each villa is surrounded by open ground that provides safe shelter for insects before they attempt entry. The external band must surround each villa on every side, not just the front elevation.

Before treatment

What a preventive visit reads

The schemes sit on the Al Laith road and the Fifth Ring Road, with new villas and empty granted plots, bordered by Al Shamiyah Al Jadid and Harat Al Bab Al Jadid, and crossed by watercourses that carry seasonal flash floods.

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

The base of the outside wall

The exterior wall base of villas must be raised high above ground especially on sides facing valleys and low-lying areas.

An exterior door threshold and the gap beneath it

Gaps and openings

The gaps between villas and the surrounding vacant plots are very wide and retain insects and rodents seeking shelter.

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

Air conditioning condensate

Air conditioning condensate and drainage water may run onto neighbouring vacant plots, creating persistent dampness around the villa.

Floor drains

Ground floor drains in the villa may discharge onto vacant plots or into incomplete underground channels.

A drip irrigation line in damp soil beside planting

Irrigation against the wall

Irrigation on the garden and plants waters the ground around the villa continuously, attracting insects.

A closed monitoring station at the foot of a wall

The monitoring points

Monitoring points are placed on every side of the villa, especially on elevations facing valleys and vacant ground.

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 Makkah Sub-Municipality

South Makkah sub municipality is the belt of Crown Prince schemes south of Al Ukayshiyah, along the Al Laith road and the extension of Ibrahim Al Khalil Road to the Fifth Ring Road and the Non Muslims bypass. Most of it is still bare: granted plots awaiting houses, new villas standing alone, open building sites and unfinished paving and drainage. Wadi Uranah and its tributaries cross the low ground and hold water after rain, hills close it in, and rodents, reptiles and scorpions shelter in stacked materials and foundation pits before the neighbourhoods fill up.

Questions about this district

Do new villas need a stronger preventive programme than older established villas?

Yes, new villas are surrounded by open ground and valleys. External pressure is far greater. The programme must be stronger and last longer.

How does Wadi Uranah and the surrounding valleys affect neighbouring villas?

The valleys provide natural migration routes for rodents and insects. After seasonal rain, the pressure on nearby villas increases dramatically.

Does the large spacing between villas affect the programme's effectiveness?

Yes, widely spaced villas require longer visit times. The programme must be continuous for each villa, not shared between villas.

When should preventive treatment start in a new villa?

It should begin immediately before move-in. The external band is applied before handover, and monitoring begins on day one of occupancy.

Does irrigation and gardening in a new villa increase the insect problem?

Yes, gardens and irrigation provide water and food for insects. The programme includes treatment around the irrigation area and planting beds.

How does the preventive programme for villas differ from programmes for apartment blocks?

Villas are surrounded by open ground whilst apartments are tightly adjoined. Villa programmes focus on the external wall base and garden areas. Apartment programmes focus on shared entries and common passages.

How much does preventive treatment in Al Shubaikah Al Jadid 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 Shubaikah Al Jadid.
