Preventive treatment in Khadra, Makkah

Why they keep coming back in Khadra

Buildings under construction lack external barriers and their openings are wide. Insects move through these gaps from the surrounding site before the buildings are sealed and completed. The method is set out in full on the full Preventive treatment page.

The first reason

Ongoing construction leaves open paths for insects

Excavations and exposed foundations in Khadra keep the soil damp, and incomplete buildings leave large gaps unfilled. Insects enter through these openings before the buildings can be closed off, so prevention starts at the open entry points themselves.

The second reason

Vacant plots drive the external pressure

Many parcels of land in Khadra remain vacant or are being prepared for development, and insects gather there. A residual band at the base of the wall cuts their path before they climb into the home.

The third reason

Moisture from new construction persists for months

New buildings, foundations and materials in Khadra dry slowly, so the ground stays wet. The preventive programme monitors this dampness through reading points and returns before insects can breed.

Before treatment

What a preventive visit reads

The ground in Khadra stays wet from new foundations and open excavations, and the gaps between the growing buildings create open corridors for insects from the surrounding area.

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 Khadra sits close to damp ground and open excavations, so the residual band must be applied with care here.

An exterior door threshold and the gap beneath it

Gaps and openings

Openings in buildings under construction are many and large, so sealing gaps is a core part of the programme before insects can settle.

Air conditioning condensate

New air conditioning units produce heavy condensate at first, and monitoring points track this dampness.

Floor drains

Floor drains in new buildings need close attention because the networks have not yet settled.

Irrigation against the wall

Irrigation in Khadra is limited now but gardens are being planned, so we monitor future irrigation points.

The monitoring points

Monitoring points show any activity at the base of the external wall before it moves upward inside.

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.

The character of Khadra

New development: ongoing construction and vacant plots between the homes

New development means high external pressure from vacant plots and ongoing building work. The programme focuses on stopping entry and continuous monitoring before insects can establish themselves in the new building.

Questions about this district

Do insects enter a new building while construction is still ongoing?

Yes, incomplete buildings with open openings attract insects from the surrounding site. Prevention starts early at the foundation gaps so that insects do not establish themselves before the building is fully closed.

Why are insects so common in areas under development?

Vacant plots, open excavations and damp foundations all provide food and shelter for insects. Khadra has many of these sources, so external pressure is high.

Are monitoring points useful in a district growing so fast?

Absolutely. The points tell you what pressure is building around your home as the season changes and construction continues. If readings rise in a given season visits increase; if they fall visits spread further apart.

Does the programme change when the district is finished building?

Yes, the programme evolves as the district develops. Once buildings are complete and dampness falls and pressure drops, visits gradually space out.

Can the external band remain effective when construction continues around it?

The band needs renewing if excavation or building work damages it. In Khadra we review the band at every visit and refresh it if needed.

How does treating a new district differ from treating a finished one?

A new district has more external pressure than internal, and the building itself lacks full protection. Preventive treatment focuses on stopping entry first, before insects have a chance to settle inside.

How much does preventive treatment in Khadra 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 Khadra.
