Rodents and mice in Al Falaq Al Jadid Makkah

Al Falaq Al Jadid is a newly planned district south of Makkah near the Fifth Ring Road, with new villas and apartment blocks standing isolated among large tracts of open ground at the foot of Jabal Aghzul. Ongoing construction, exposed foundation pits, open conduit networks and gaps around new pipes provide perfect shelter for rodents and scorpions before the neighbourhoods are completed and occupied.

Why they keep coming back in Al Falaq Al Jadid

Residents of Al Falaq Al Jadid notice many rodents and scorpions in the open spaces between houses, particularly near building sites and foundation trenches that have not yet been filled in. The method is set out in full on how we approach Rodents and mice.

The first reason

Open foundation pits and large voids

Deep foundation excavations in the area remain open for long periods during construction, providing safe deep shelter for rodents, scorpions and reptiles. Rodents breed easily in them, then move into new homes when construction nears completion or homes are first occupied.

The second reason

Exposed pipes and incomplete networks

Sewerage, water and electrical networks remain exposed and unfinished for long periods. The pipes provide easy passage for rodents to move from open ground into newly completed houses, especially where gaps remain unsealed around the pipes.

The third reason

The wadi, seasonal water and Jabal Aghzul

Wadi Uranah and its tributaries cross the area holding water after rain, drawing large rodent populations. Jabal Aghzul nearby provides natural shelter for wildlife and rodents, which move into the open development seeking food in newly cultivated gardens.

Landmarks of Al Falaq Al Jadid

Access to villas and schemes in Al Falaq Al Jadid is via the Al Laith Road and the Fifth Ring Road. Technicians check the exterior perimeter and gaps around foundation pits near Jabal Aghzul, where natural rodent populations gather before moving into newly completed villas.

Before treatment

What we read in the building before any bait goes down

Mostly open ground with scattered new villas and building works, incomplete sewerage and road paving in places, and deep open foundation pits that remain unsealed.

An exterior door with a narrow gap at the threshold

The gap under the door

The gap under a new villa door in Al Falaq Al Jadid may appear sealed, but rodents find routes through gaps around pipes and foundations that are not yet fully closed by the builders.

Pipes passing through a concrete wall from outside

Pipe and conduit openings

Gaps around pipes and air conditioning work in new villas appear sealed but gaps remain around external pipes arriving from outside, allowing easy rodent entry from the open ground.

Gnaw marks

Gnaw marks appear on exposed plastic pipes and electrical wires in gardens and around the villa exterior, showing ongoing rodent activity in the surrounding area.

The run along the wall

The run along new villa walls and around foundations shows rodent movement from open land towards the villa, leaving greasy marks on the new plasterwork as they pass repeatedly.

The route from above

The route from above through roof gaps and spaces around pipes makes it easy for rodents to enter from outside, especially when homes sit empty between purchase and occupation.

The water and the food on offer

Water from irrigation and rainfall and food from cultivated gardens and insects available nearby provide easy resources for rodents not yet having found ways inside the villa itself.

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.

What is different about South Makkah Sub-Municipality

South Makkah sub municipality is the belt of Crown Prince schemes south of Al Ukayshiyah, along the Al Laith road and the extension of Ibrahim Al Khalil Road to the Fifth Ring Road and the Non Muslims bypass. Most of it is still bare: granted plots awaiting houses, new villas standing alone, open building sites and unfinished paving and drainage. Wadi Uranah and its tributaries cross the low ground and hold water after rain, hills close it in, and rodents, reptiles and scorpions shelter in stacked materials and foundation pits before the neighbourhoods fill up.

Questions about this district

Are the open foundation pits the main reason for rodents in Al Falaq Al Jadid?

Yes, deep foundation pits provide safe shelter for rodents and scorpions. When nearby homes are completed, rodents move into them, especially if pipes and gaps remain unsealed.

Does ongoing construction make the problem easier or harder to treat?

Construction makes it easier at first because natural shelters are numerous and accessible. But as residents move in the problem becomes complex because rodents are spread everywhere.

Is one treatment sufficient now during construction or better after completion?

Treatment before construction completion reduces numbers, but comprehensive ongoing treatment becomes necessary after the districts fill. Regular monitoring is very important as people move in.

Do the vacant areas need treatment too, or just the homes?

Open land between homes needs treatment as well, particularly around foundation pits, open voids and around exposed pipes. Treating the exterior perimeter protects homes from rodent transfer.

Does Wadi Uranah and water after rainfall increase the rodent problem greatly?

Yes, the wadi draws huge rodent populations after rain, and water provides drinking and a damp environment that supports the insects and vegetation rodents feed on.

Is a newly completed villa in Al Falaq Al Jadid at greater risk than others?

Yes, new villas near vacant land, building sites and open pits are at greater risk. Distance from these sources reduces exposure, but regular monitoring is always necessary.

How much does rodents and mice in Al Falaq Al Jadid 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 Falaq Al Jadid.
