Why they keep coming back in Al Naseem

Ground floor shops line King Faisal Road and feed a steady rodent population, and the gaps under apartment doors are consistently wider here than regulation height allows. The method is set out in full on our Rodents and mice service.

The first reason

Ground floor shops drive vertical movement upwards

The commercial units feed rodents from restaurant waste and spilt goods, and rodents climb into flats above through gaps behind pipes and ducting. Treatment must coordinate between shop owners and residents to work, otherwise the pressure returns from below.

The second reason

New villas and apartments lack proper sealing

Foundations were not fully sealed at handover, and gaps between the base slab and finished ground provide easy routes inward. Drainage pipes run close to the surface in many apartments and sit just outside the homes in new villas, leaving weak points.

The third reason

Bait loses out to constant restaurant waste

Hotels, restaurants and the hospital on and near King Faisal Road leave food scraps daily. Rodents do not take bait readily while natural food is plentiful and accessible, which it always is in this district.

Before treatment

What we read in the building before any bait goes down

The district is new and organised but bordered by Al Awali to the south where older farms and open plots scatter, and Wadi Uranah holds water near the area after heavy rain.

An exterior door with a narrow gap at the threshold

The gap under the door

The gap under apartment doors in new Al Naseem builds is noticeably wide, and shrinkage and wear in older villas creates gaps where none were originally cut.

Pipes passing through a concrete wall from outside

Pipe and conduit openings

Drainage pipes run behind fridges and air units in shops, and gaps around them appear in nearly every flat above.

Gnaw marks

Gnaw marks show first on food boxes and plastic bags in the shops rather than in flats, a sign of where the colony feeds.

The run along the wall

Wall runs appear in corners behind furniture and kitchen units, as rodents prefer to stay close to the edge.

The route from above

Entry from above happens through ventilation grilles in upper flats and cracks in older ceiling slabs.

Sacks of grain stored on a storeroom floor

The water and the food on offer

Water from drainage and air conditioning is always available here, and food comes steadily from the shops below and farm waste near the university.

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 Al Aziziyah (Makkah) Sub-Municipality

Al Aziziyah sub municipality runs from the Bin Dawood markets to the Al Hada road and carries pilgrim traffic to Mina. Hotel towers and furnished apartment blocks fill and empty with the Hajj and Ramadan seasons, and the kitchens, restaurants and markets along Al Masjid Al Haram Road and King Abdulaziz Road leave food waste at every peak. Southwards the fabric loosens into villas and planned streets in An Naseem and Al Awali, then Al Abidiyah's campus and the old farms of Al Husayniyah, where Wadi Uranah holds water after rain and farm enclosures shelter rodents and reptiles.

Questions about this district

Why do upper flats get rodents when only ground shops are nearby?

Ground shops supply food and moisture, and rodents climb upwards through gaps behind pipes and ducting. Treating only the flat cannot work if the shop below is untreated, as pressure returns from below.

Do new villa foundations stop rodents at Al Naseem better than old ones?

New foundations have fewer gaps than old ones, but entry still happens under doors and around pipes and conduits. New villas are easier to treat because there are fewer routes, but sealing must start before rodents establish.

How often should Al Naseem apartments need treatment each year?

It depends on activity at the shops below and the season. Summer and autumn see more pressure, winter less, but quarterly treatment keeps numbers stable year round.

Is the gap under a new apartment door here the entry point?

Yes. New villas and flats in Al Naseem often leave a gap for air circulation. Small rodents pass under these gaps easily and settle inside quickly.

Does keeping the district clean reduce the rodent problem in Al Naseem?

Cleanliness helps but is not the core solution. The main issue is the shops, hotels and restaurants that leave food daily, plus the drainage pipes that supply water and shelter.

Do rodents come from the street or from the homes next door?

Both. Rodents move between villas through side and rear gaps, and enter from the street if they find easy food and shelter available.

How much does rodents and mice in Al Naseem 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 Naseem.
