Why they keep coming back in North Obhur

Timber, walls and roof structures in seaside villas and resorts stay damp for most of the year, creating ideal shelter for insects and cockroaches. The method is set out in full on our Preventive treatment service.

The first reason

Sea humidity and salt laden winds

The sea is very close and humidity is high all year; salt winds keep everything damp. Timber and metals corrode, walls crack open. Insects find ideal conditions and moisture helps them climb and hide.

The second reason

Green spaces and constant watering

Gardens and lawns around villas and resorts are watered regularly. Water and planting attract mosquitoes and insects, and Sharm Obhur and damp low ground shelter rodents and reptiles.

The third reason

Seasonal chalets and rest houses closed for months

Seasonal chalets and rest houses stand closed for long periods, becoming ideal shelters for insects and rodents. When opened again, infestation has often already begun.

Landmarks of North Obhur

North Obhur Beach and Sharm Obhur define the beachfront setting. Preventive visits approach via Prince Abdullah Al Faisal Street, following the coastal road to the base of the outer wall facing the sea directly.

Before treatment

What a preventive visit reads

The district is a direct seafront with resorts and villas on the beach, surrounded by irrigated green spaces and gardens. High sea humidity and salt winds create a permanently damp environment.

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

The base of the outside wall

The base of the outside wall at North Obhur directly facing the sea must carry an exceptionally thick, tall and strong residual band because high sea humidity and salt winds help insects climb.

An exterior door threshold and the gap beneath it

Gaps and openings

Gaps and cracks in coastal walls widen rapidly from moisture and salt, and monitoring points are placed in every crack and around every opening.

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

Air conditioning condensate

Air conditioning and refrigerator drains run onto foundations perpetually damp from the sea; water seeps around the base all year and every visit monitors these outlets.

Floor drains

Floor drains in seaside villas may be damaged by salt and damp, and water pools around the home.

A drip irrigation line in damp soil beside planting

Irrigation against the wall

Continuous watering of gardens and coastal planting supplies standing water for mosquitoes and insects all year. The external residual band forms a barrier between the irrigated garden and the foundation.

A closed monitoring station at the foot of a wall

The monitoring points

Monitoring points at North Obhur are placed densely on the seaward and east facing sides of villas because pest pressure arrives from the sea, salt winds and persistent moisture.

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 Dhahban Sub-Municipality

Dhahban sub municipality is the northern coastal strip of Jeddah, running from the north bank of Sharm Obhur up to the old village of Dhahban and Salman Bay. Its districts are recently built, with owner occupied villas and apartments, beach resorts and chalets on the shore, and land subdivisions still being developed. Nearness to the sea keeps humidity high all year, irrigated lawns in villas, resorts and district parks hold water, Wadi Obhur and the vacant plots between buildings give rodents and reptiles shelter, and the old fishing village of Dhahban gives the far north a rural edge.

Questions about this district

The villa is right on the beach. How does the programme cope with such high humidity?

High humidity is constant and cannot be changed. The programme applies a thick, tall, strong residual band at the outer wall base and sets monitoring points closely spaced in corners and openings.

The rest house stays closed for months. Does preventive treatment protect it?

A rest house closed for long periods may become infested. Preventive treatment focuses on the external barrier before closure, and a check visit occurs when it is opened again.

Water seeps from the foundation constantly. Is this normal here?

Sea humidity and salt winds cause continuous seepage in coastal foundations. The preventive barrier monitors this at every visit.

The garden is watered every day. Would stopping irrigation help?

Stopping watering might help slightly, but sea humidity stays high all year. The preventive programme focuses on the external residual barrier.

There is algae and damp on the outer walls. Is this dangerous?

Algae and damp indicate ideal conditions for insects. Monitoring points watch these areas carefully.

A nearby resort and hotel complex. Does it affect the private home?

Nearby resorts supply insects with food and water. Homes near them need closer monitoring.

How much does preventive treatment in North Obhur 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 North Obhur.
