Restaurants and cafes in Al Mansour Makkah
Al Mansour is an old commercial district strung along Prince Mansour Street, with shops and markets at street level and very old apartment blocks directly above. Restaurants here are squeezed between dense trade on both sides and residents above them. The old buildings create thousands of hiding places inside walls and pipes for insects.

Why they keep coming back in Al Mansour
The pipes and drains in these very old blocks are tangled and shared. Insects live in them permanently and move easily from shop to shop. The method is set out in full on Restaurants and cafes in detail.
Old buildings offer thousands of internal shelters
Thick walls, complex piping and sealed gaps inside very old blocks create ideal cockroach and insect habitat. They live there permanently and move between shops through shared gaps.
Dense trade from all sides drives insects toward your restaurant
Shops packed along both sides of the street, the market nearby, and traders moving goods daily all increase pressure from adjoining shops that may have lower hygiene standards.
Residents above the shops increase vertical insect transfer
Old flats directly above the restaurant are usually occupied. Insects move vertically through pipes and gaps, so treating the restaurant alone is not enough.

An old district along the long Prince Mansour Street artery, stretching from Al Hajoun Road down to Ibrahim Al Khalil Street and the middle ring road, with ground floor shops and old residential blocks above them near the Al Hindawiyah boundary.
Gullies and the grease trap
Gullies in Al Mansour are often shared between several shops with old tangled drains beneath serving the flats above. We focus on drain openings and barriers.
The cooking line and plinths
Equipment bases in restaurants here usually sit on old slightly raised flooring. Gaps beneath are large and need careful inspection and strong barriers.
Cardboard at goods inwards
Cardboard from nearby markets may already be contaminated. We advise breaking it down outside the kitchen immediately and not storing it.
Dry store shelving
Dry store shelving in old Al Mansour restaurants is often in a cramped storeroom that may be damp or dark. We focus on ventilation and close inspection.
The back service door
The back service door in Al Mansour restaurants may be narrow or the yard very small. We focus on door sweeps and gaps around openings.
The bin area
The bin area may sit in a shared alley between several shops. We focus on bin closure, daily cleaning and rapid disposal of food waste.
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.
The character of Al Mansour
Commercial area: offices, showrooms and small stores
Commercial restaurants in Al Mansour face pressure from every direction: adjoining shops, residents above, old buildings teeming with insects. The programme must focus on boundaries and gaps.
Questions about this district
The pipes here are extremely old. Do cockroaches live in them permanently?
Yes, tangled old pipes are a permanent cockroach refuge in this district. We focus on inspecting openings, drains, pipe barriers, not the pipes themselves.
The shop next to us has an infestation. Can they reach us through the shared wall?
Yes, shared walls in old blocks have cracks around pipes and gaps. We need strong barriers on pipe openings and gaps.
The flat above us has cockroaches. Can they get down into our restaurant?
Yes, high probability. Insects move vertically. We need joint inspection and parallel treatment if the flat is occupied and the residents consent.
How often should you visit Al Mansour to stop insects coming back?
Pressure from adjoining shops, residents above and old buildings needs a careful plan. After the first inspection we recommend monthly visits at minimum.
Our restaurant is ground floor with flats above. Is treating just the restaurant enough?
No, we must inspect the flats first. If they have insects we need resident consent and parallel treatment. If empty we focus on shared gaps and pipes.
Can pipes be treated from inside or does that damage the plumbing?
Outside treatment is better. We focus on pipe openings, barriers and gaps around voids. We do not treat pipes from inside because this may damage the plumbing.
How much does restaurants and cafes in Al Mansour 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 Mansour.
