Why they keep coming back in Al Nuzhah

Ageing pipes and networks alongside numerous restaurants on main streets create year-round ideal conditions for rodents and cockroaches. The method is set out in full on what Rodents and mice involves.

The first reason

Ageing water and sewer networks

Old pipe systems have constant leaks and cracks, providing water that rodents can access alongside food. Decaying pipes also offer safe shelter inside for rodents and cockroaches to live in.

The second reason

Busy commercial street and dense restaurants

Sultan bin Salman Street carries many restaurants, furnished flats and popular markets. Food waste and spillage accumulate quickly and draw rodents and cockroaches.

The third reason

Gaps and cracks in decades-old buildings

Buildings erected decades ago have many gaps between stairs, pipes and wiring. Age and weathering creates cracks throughout, making entry for rodents very easy.

Landmarks of Al Nuzhah

Al Nuzhah is reached via King Fahd Road or Prince Majid Road, with work organised around Mall of Arabia and Sultan bin Salman Street where restaurants and shops concentrate.

Before treatment

What we read in the building before any bait goes down

A central northern district near the airport with villas, single-family homes and apartment blocks built decades ago, a busy commercial street, high density of restaurants, shops and furnished flats.

An exterior door with a narrow gap at the threshold

The gap under the door

Gaps under doors in old buildings may be very wide and floors uneven, leaving clear passages for rodents.

Pipes passing through a concrete wall from outside

Pipe and conduit openings

Pipe entries from old foundations lack metal barriers, and pipes may be broken or severely cracked.

An electrical cable with its outer sheath damaged

Gnaw marks

Gnaw marks appear easily on plastic pipes and wiring in aged buildings.

The corner between a skirting board and a tiled floor

The run along the wall

The run along the wall follows pipes and cracks in old buildings where rodents have many routes.

The route from above

The route from above comes via old foundations and shared voids in aged buildings.

Sacks of grain stored on a storeroom floor

The water and the food on offer

Water is constantly available from seepage, and food from nearby restaurants 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 Airport Sub-Municipality

The Airport sub-municipality covers some of the oldest established districts of northern Jeddah, gathered around King Abdulaziz International Airport between Madinah Road, King Fahd Road and Prince Majid Road. The stock is villas, single family houses and apartment blocks built decades ago, many served by ageing water and sewer lines. Commercial streets such as Quraish, Sari and Sultan bin Salman are lined with restaurants, furnished flats and popular markets. Dense commercial kitchens, worn pipework and the gaps in older buildings give cockroaches and rodents steady food and shelter, and the high resident population keeps that pressure constant through the year.

Questions about this district

Why are old Al Nuzhah buildings more vulnerable to rodents than new ones?

Old pipes leak constantly and have many gaps. Aged buildings develop cracks between stairs, pipes and wiring that make rodent entry very easy.

Do leaking old pipes supply water that rodents need?

Yes. Constant seepage from old systems provides available water, and decaying pipes also shelter rodents safely inside.

How much less effective is treatment in old buildings without maintenance?

Old unmaintained buildings demand complete sealing of all gaps and cracks. Treatment takes longer and requires more effort than in newer buildings.

Do the many restaurants on Sultan bin Salman Street make the problem worse?

Yes. Restaurant concentration provides constant food. Waste and grease accumulate quickly and draw rodents and cockroaches.

Are furnished flats in Al Nuzhah more vulnerable to rodents?

Furnished flats may see less careful maintenance and cleaning, providing a better rodent environment. Short leases may mean less owner attention to upkeep.

How does treating Al Nuzhah differ from treating a new district with modern buildings?

Al Nuzhah means managing old pipes, aged buildings and dense restaurants. Work focuses on sealing all cracks and gaps and managing restaurant waste.

How much does rodents and mice in Al Nuzhah 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 Nuzhah.
