Preventive treatment in Al Taawun, Jeddah

Targeted, not broadcast

Why they keep coming back in Al Taawun

The broad empty plots between new houses become refuges for rodents and insects until the scheme fills with building; once they move in, the nearest occupied homes feel the first arrival. The method is set out in full on our Preventive treatment service.

The first reason

Building boundaries shift continuously across the scheme

In a district growing fast, plot lines change and the open ground next to a home today may be built on tomorrow. Preventive spraying must track new outer walls and emerging gaps between houses, particularly where landscaping surrounds the shared gardens of Rawdat Al Taawun.

The second reason

Open ground offers pests an unbroken approach

Unbuilt expanses provide a clear pathway for insects and rodents to advance on new homes. The preventive programme focuses on newly exposed entry points at fresh foundations and windows, and barriers at the base of walls rising from raw earth.

The third reason

Construction activity near by creates temporary moisture

Building works scattered across the scheme generate temporary ponds and seepage. Monitoring points record these shifts and align visit frequency with the pace of building rather than a fixed date.

Landmarks of Al Taawun

Work in Al Taawun moves along the axis of the Al Laith Road, which separates the scheme from other areas, and is organised through Al Hussein ibn Ali Street, which connects the new quarters to one another. The Rawdat Al Taawun scheme itself marks the shared garden areas that can become seasonal sources of pressure on neighbouring homes.

Before treatment

What a preventive visit reads

A district stretching along the Al Laith road south of Al Sanabil, where new housing schemes alternate with vacant land and rest houses, creating gaps in the natural barriers that would otherwise separate the homes from pest sources.

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 a developing scheme may be uneven or embedded in loose fill and sand, so it needs careful inspection before the external residual band is laid.

An exterior door threshold and the gap beneath it

Gaps and openings

Gaps around newly installed windows and doors may be wide during building and sealed later, so we record temporary entry points and keep reading them across visits.

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

Air conditioning condensate

New air conditioning condensate may leak in an uncontrolled way on a house still under finishing; we trace temporary water paths to identify damp spots that draw insects.

Floor drains

Floor drains in a new home may still be under construction, so we focus on the house base and the external ground layers where moisture collects.

A drip irrigation line in damp soil beside planting

Irrigation against the wall

New garden irrigation against the wall may run without proper controls, creating constant damp around the house base that attracts insects and the activity that draws them.

The monitoring points

Monitoring points are read at each visit to record how the home is affected by construction activity nearby and by shifts in seasonal pressure on the district.

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

Are insects different in newly built areas than in finished districts?

Yes. Open ground attracts wild insect species and rodents drawn by exposed earth and building debris. Preventive treatment targets entry points before they reach the home, not older sources of infestation established elsewhere.

Are new buildings in Al Taawun safe from gaps and cracks?

New construction can leave gaps where the foundation meets the ground, or around early window frames. The programme focuses on these emerging weak points before they become permanent pest routes into the home.

Will insects decrease if the neighbouring plot is completely vacant?

Vacant plots provide safe shelter for wild insects and rodents, but they are far from food sources. Preventive treatment creates a strong external barrier that stops them crossing into the home.

The scheme is expanding fast. Does this change the visit schedule?

Yes. Monitoring points record how the home is affected by developing ground around it. As building and development advance, the readings change and visit frequency may shift with them.

Do nearby rest houses and storage facilities increase pest pressure on the home?

Rest houses and non-residential facilities may offer seasonal shelter to pests. Monitoring points record this pressure and guide how many preventive visits the home receives.

In a new scheme like Al Taawun, when does preventive treatment truly begin?

Preventive spraying starts once furniture and residents move in, even if the scheme is still under construction elsewhere. The foundations and outer walls are the first things we protect.

How much does preventive treatment in Al Taawun 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 Taawun.
