Rodents and mice in Al Jamiah, Makkah

A follow-up visit

We return after the first treatment, because what survives it does not show on the day.

Why they keep coming back in Al Jamiah

Population changes seasonally with Hajj and Umrah visitors, and hotels receive new guests daily, some bringing luggage that harbours animals carrying disease. The method is set out in full on how we approach Rodents and mice.

The first reason

Central shared ventilation systems

Air conditioning and ventilation systems link several buildings together. Rodents enter via the external air intake and move through ducts between floors and between buildings.

The second reason

Shared entrances and central stairs

Central stairs and lifts provide safe rodent routes between floors. Small gaps around floor doors offer easy exits.

The third reason

Basements and store rooms below buildings

Below blocks sit storage rooms and basements serving hotels and residences. Water and drain pipes there provide passages and food for rodents.

Before treatment

What we read in the building before any bait goes down

Blocks stand near Makkah Mall and Alawi Tunsi Hospital with shared entrances and large voids beneath suspended ceilings, and central ventilation and cooling systems serving all buildings.

An exterior door with a narrow gap at the threshold

The gap under the door

Doors to shared entrances do not close firmly at night, and gaps beneath them allow rodents easy entry from the street.

Pipes passing through a concrete wall from outside

Pipe and conduit openings

Ventilation and cooling pipes run through walls with large unsealed gaps, and moisture from the pipes attracts rodents.

An electrical cable with its outer sheath damaged

Gnaw marks

Long corridors may show old gnaw marks on power cables and switches if activity has been chronic.

The corner between a skirting board and a tiled floor

The run along the wall

Rodents run along horizontal and vertical ventilation pipes, climbing from outside into the external air intake.

The route from above

Small ventilation holes in ceilings and walls may be entry points from outside the building or from shared corridors.

Sacks of grain stored on a storeroom floor

The water and the food on offer

Food scraps from hotel restaurants and flats provide constant food, and pipe water provides drinking water.

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

Are hotel and residential block connected by the same systems?

Yes, air systems may be shared. We ensure gaps around pipes between buildings are sealed and set traps on both sides.

Do rodents enter through the external air intake for the cooling system?

Yes, the external vent may be unprotected. We fit very fine mesh over the air inlet before the filter.

Does the suspended ceiling in the block contain air ducts?

Yes, the false ceiling holds large ventilation pipes. Rodents live in voids around the ducts. We open some tiles and inspect.

Do rodents from the hotel move into residential flats?

Yes, if hotel and blocks are connected. We treat the hotel from outside by sealing restaurant and store doors, and the blocks from inside.

Do new pilgrims bring rodents hidden in their luggage?

Rare but possible. Luggage stored in basements may harbour rodents. We inspect store rooms regularly during peak seasons.

Do we treat hotel and block the same way?

Yes but with different plans. The hotel needs strong treatment in corridors and storage. Blocks need focus on individual flats and shared voids.

How much does rodents and mice in Al Jamiah 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 Jamiah.
