Rodents and mice in Al Asalah Jeddah

Al Asalah is a small recently established district in the far north between Madinah Road and the Haramain expressway, close to King Abdullah Sports City. Rodent treatment here differs because the district is still being built out with some unpaved streets and incomplete drainage, and rodents come from Wadi Obhur and neighbouring projects before buildings are finished.

Why they keep coming back in Al Asalah

Rodents here come from Wadi Obhur, neighbouring projects and vacant ground, settling in new foundations and incomplete gaps. The method is set out in full on Rodents and mice in detail.

The first reason

Wadi Obhur and access routes provide entry pathways

Wadi Obhur runs through the district providing water and silt after rain, and rodents come from the wadi seeking water. Madinah Road and the Haramain expressway carry continuous traffic that may bring rodents from other areas.

The second reason

Unpaved streets and ongoing construction provide shelter

Some streets in Al Asalah are still unpaved and there are exposed construction sites. These areas provide ideal rodent shelter and ease movement between different projects.

The third reason

Incomplete drainage leaves gaps and excavations

The drainage system in Al Asalah is not yet complete, leaving exposed digging and broken pipes. These gaps provide easy entry routes for rodents from the surrounding ground.

Al Asalah sits about 5.5 km from South Obhur and about 11 km from Al Basatin.

Before treatment

What we read in the building before any bait goes down

A northern district newly established near King Abdullah Sports City between Madinah Road and the Haramain expressway, schemes of villas and new apartment buildings, with Wadi Obhur passing through it.

The gap under the door

The gap under doors in Al Asalah may be larger than expected because foundations are not yet stable in soft ground.

Pipes passing through a concrete wall from outside

Pipe and conduit openings

Openings for pipes and air units may leave wide gaps from ground voids and breaks in the drainage network.

Gnaw marks

Gnaw marks appear clearly on wiring, insulation and pipes at construction sites and excavations.

The run along the wall

The run along the wall starts from Wadi Obhur and unpaved areas, entering through foundation gaps.

The route from above

The water and the food on offer

Water and food are available from Wadi Obhur, natural plants, neighbouring projects and surrounding areas.

How we work

1
Inspect and trace the runs

We work the perimeter, the kitchen, the store and the false ceiling, establish the species, the entry points and the water source, and mark the station positions before anything is carried in.
2
Close the openings

Metal mesh, mortar and base strips at the gaps, around pipe sleeves and at vents, because foam and silicone are gnawed through within days.
3
Secured bait and traps

Closed stations fixed on the runs outside the building, and traps rather than loose bait indoors, so that anything that dies stays somewhere we can reach.
4
The follow-up visit

We read the take at each station, replenish what has gone, remove anything found, and close any opening that showed itself once the movement settled.

What rodent control includes

Inspection and a station map

Entry points, runs and station positions recorded, so the same points are checked on every visit.
Sealing pipes and drains

Floor traps, pipe sleeves, vents and the air conditioning drain line, the routes that arrive from outside the unit.
Secured bait stations

Closed and fixed on the outside runs, out of reach of children and animals, while indoors we work with traps.
Treating the nest site

A rodent leaves parasites and nesting material behind, so the nest is removed and the void it sat in is treated.
Aftercare instructions

Stock lifted off the floor, droppings cleaned damp with disinfectant instead of swept dry, and pet bowls emptied at night.
A scheduled follow-up

A set date after the first visit: read the take, replenish the bait, remove anything found and close what is still open.

Questions about this district

Does Wadi Obhur increase the rodent problem in Al Asalah?

Yes, the wadi provides natural water and food, and rodents come from it seeking water and food when other areas dry out.

Do unpaved streets provide rodent routes?

Yes, unpaved streets offer soft soil that rodents can tunnel through easily and move freely.

Does King Abdullah Sports City provide food sources for rodents?

The Sports City may provide different food sources, but the main rodents come from the wadi and surrounding areas.

Are villas or apartments more exposed to rodents in Al Asalah?

New apartment buildings may be more exposed because they sit near the wadi and neighbouring projects under construction.

Should treatment happen before or after the rains?

Both. Before rain to stop rodents from the wadi settling in the district, and after to remove water pooling and food debris.

Is incomplete drainage a major problem?

Yes, gaps and excavations provide direct entry routes for rodents from the ground, greatly increasing the problem.
