Why they keep coming back in Al Naseem

High resident density, restaurants, shops and aged networks make Al Naseem ideal conditions for rodents and cockroaches. The method is set out in full on how we approach Rodents and mice.

The first reason

Older buildings with ageing drainage networks

Parts of Al Naseem are decades-old buildings with worn drainage systems suffering constant seepage. Gaps and cracks offer direct routes for rodents and cockroaches.

The second reason

Busy commercial streets crowded with restaurants and shops

King Abdullah Road and Prince Majid Road carry many restaurants and shops. Food waste accumulates quickly and attracts rodents, cockroaches and ants.

The third reason

Dense apartment blocks with shared voids between storeys

Dense residential buildings share pipes and voids between floors. Ground-floor restaurants supply food that draws rodents into shared spaces.

The character of Al Naseem

Mixed district: shops at street level with homes above them

In a mixed district like Al Naseem, shops, flats and villas stand together in high density. Rodents enter from restaurants and commercial streets, not from one source. Treatment must focus on blocking entry from restaurants and streets and managing food waste.

Before treatment

What we read in the building before any bait goes down

A mixed central district in east Jeddah, dense villas and apartment buildings along commercial streets, medical centres and university nearby, with some old buildings and parts being newer.

An exterior door with a narrow gap at the threshold

The gap under the door

Gaps under flat doors may be wide and old building floors are often uneven.

Pipes passing through a concrete wall from outside

Pipe and conduit openings

Pipe entries from the street and ground-floor restaurants lack sufficient metal barriers.

An electrical cable with its outer sheath damaged

Gnaw marks

Gnaw marks appear on wiring and plastic pipes especially beside street voids.

The corner between a skirting board and a tiled floor

The run along the wall

The run along the wall follows shared pipe lines running from restaurants and the street.

Palm fronds touching the edge of a building roof

The route from above

The route from above comes via shared voids and pipes linking restaurants to flats.

Sacks of grain stored on a storeroom floor

The water and the food on offer

Water and food are constantly available from restaurants, shops and street waste.

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 Sharafiyah Sub-Municipality

The Al Sharafiyah sub municipality runs across central Jeddah from Al Ruwais near the Corniche eastwards through Al Sharafiyah, Al Wurud and Bani Malik to Al Naseem at the Haramain Road. It was among the first areas to grow beyond the old wall, and it is dominated by dense apartment blocks over shops along King Fahd Road and Palestine Street, with old popular quarters, the Bani Malik market, car workshops and storerooms. Ageing buildings, worn drainage and the refuse of restaurants and markets make cockroaches and rodents the most persistent pests, and humidity rises towards the sea.

Questions about this district

Why is Al Naseem ideal for rodents despite being relatively new?

The district has old buildings with worn networks and commercial streets crowded with restaurants. High density supplies constant food and old pipes provide routes.

Are restaurants on the main street the main cause?

Yes. Many restaurants supply constant food waste accumulating around bins and restaurant rear passages.

How does treating Al Naseem differ from treating purely residential areas?

Al Naseem includes restaurants and commercial streets alongside housing. Treatment must manage waste and block routes from restaurants.

Does high population density worsen the rodent problem?

Yes. Density creates much food waste from cooking and eating, making the district permanently attractive to rodents.

Are flats and villas next to restaurants more vulnerable?

Yes. Units below or beside restaurants are more exposed because rodents enter directly from restaurants.

How does treating dense crowded districts differ from spacious areas?

Dense crowded areas need continuous treatment because food and waste are constantly available. Spacious areas face lesser pressure.

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.
