Why they keep coming back in Al Bawadi

Quraish Street is packed with shops, furnished flats and hotels in old buildings, meaning very high insect density compared to newer districts. The method is set out in full on our Restaurants and cafes service.

The first reason

Aged infrastructure with worn pipes and continuous leaks

Plumbing and sewerage here is decades old and leaks regularly. Persistent moisture and leaks create ideal conditions for cockroaches, ants and flies to breed and shelter.

The second reason

High density of restaurants, furnished flats and shops

Quraish Street and Al Khatib Al Tabrizi Street are packed with shops, restaurants and furnished flats in tightly-packed old buildings. Insects move freely between units through shared walls and gaps.

The third reason

Multiple delivery sources and nearby popular markets

Deliveries come from diverse sources and popular markets nearby. Boxes may already be infested before arrival and bring multiple insect species into the premises.

Landmarks of Al Bawadi

Al Hijaz Mall nearby means restaurants serve mall visitors and adjacent market shoppers, while the Engineering Roundabout on King Fahd Road marks the location clearly. Access typically runs via Quraish Street or Al Khatib Al Tabrizi Street depending on the restaurant's exact position between the roundabout and the mall.

Before treatment

The places that decide the programme

Aged piping and drainage, densely packed shops and furnished flats create an ideal environment for insects to live and breed continuously throughout the year.

A floor drain grate in a commercial kitchen

Gullies and the grease trap

Gullies and traps here are under pressure from chronic leaks and blockages. Very frequent professional cleaning is essential to prevent water and fat pooling that attracts flies.

Stainless steel commercial kitchen equipment

The cooking line and plinths

Kitchen equipment in aged buildings often does not sit flush with the floor, leaving gaps around bases that provide safe shelter for cockroaches and ant colonies.

Cardboard boxes stacked on a wooden pallet

Cardboard at goods inwards

Deliveries from popular markets and various suppliers may already be infested. Comprehensive inspection and immediate removal of all outer packaging is critical.

Dry store shelving

Dry store shelves sit near damp walls or shared corridor areas, meaning continuous exposure to insects and moisture from surrounding spaces.

The back service door

The back service door in high density is used heavily and rarely sealed completely, allowing constant insect entry with each goods delivery.

Large waste containers in a rear service alley

The bin area

Bin areas sit adjacent to other shops, hotels and markets, maximizing their attractiveness to insects from surrounding businesses.

How we work

1
Survey and site plan

We follow the food route from delivery to waste, establish which species are present and where the moisture is, and mark the station positions on a plan of the kitchen and the store.
2
Install numbered monitoring points

Sealed, numbered stations in fixed positions, read in the same order every visit so the file shows a trend rather than an impression.
3
Treatment outside service hours

Gel bait into joints and voids, foam into the gullies and the grease trap, and nothing applied to preparation surfaces, with equipment covered and surfaces wiped down before service resumes.
4
Scheduled visits and the site file

Every visit reads the stations and records what was found, the corrective action needed, who owns it and by when, and the file stays on site to be shown at an inspection.

What a restaurant programme includes

Opening survey and site plan

Species, entry points and moisture sources, with a plan showing where every station sits.
Sealed, numbered stations

Bait held inside closed stations in food areas, never open product near preparation or storage.
Gully and grease trap treatment

Foam that contacts the pipe wall where small flies breed, which is the step most contracts skip.
Targeted application after closing

Into joints, voids and the store perimeter, at a time with no exposed food and no team in the kitchen.
Reopening instructions for the team

What to cover before, what to wipe after, and what not to wash so the treatment is not undone.
A visit report and a running log

Every station read, corrective actions with an owner and a date, and a continuous file to show at an inspection.

What is different about Airport Sub-Municipality

The Airport sub-municipality covers some of the oldest established districts of northern Jeddah, gathered around King Abdulaziz International Airport between Madinah Road, King Fahd Road and Prince Majid Road. The stock is villas, single family houses and apartment blocks built decades ago, many served by ageing water and sewer lines. Commercial streets such as Quraish, Sari and Sultan bin Salman are lined with restaurants, furnished flats and popular markets. Dense commercial kitchens, worn pipework and the gaps in older buildings give cockroaches and rodents steady food and shelter, and the high resident population keeps that pressure constant through the year.

Questions about this district

Many furnished flats on Quraish Street may not receive regular treatment, does that matter?

Very much yes. Furnished apartments house rotating guests and do not receive systematic pest treatment. Treating only your restaurant is ineffective in this setting.

Pipes leak constantly and increase dampness, what can we do?

We treat around moisture points and clean drains regularly, but plumbing repair by a licensed plumber is essential to reduce the damp environment attracting insects.

Adjacent shops may be insect sources, how do we protect ourselves?

We seal all gaps and cracks between your unit and adjacent shops as completely as possible, focusing on shared walls and ceiling cavities in common corridors.

Deliveries from popular markets may arrive already infested?

Very likely. Popular markets around Quraish and near Al Hijaz Mall may carry insects on produce. Rigorous inspection is critical.

The district is old and infrastructure is weak, can control really work?

Yes, but it requires a strong programme and frequent visits because pressure from aged infrastructure and surrounding contaminated environment is relentless.

How do we deal with adjacent hotels and furnished flats?

We focus on isolating your restaurant as completely as possible. We strongly recommend speaking with the building owner and adjacent hotels about coordinating regular treatment.

How much does restaurants and cafes in Al Bawadi 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 Bawadi.
