Why they keep coming back in Al Qashashiyah Al Jadid

Rodents here come from nearby construction sites and shelter under new foundations before exterior finishes are complete, moving into homes as they are occupied. The method is set out in full on the full Rodents and mice page.

The first reason

Open excavations draw rodents from surrounding sites

Active construction and exposed digging nearby provide known pathways for rodents before they shift to the new building. Sealing the gaps under newly laid foundations before floor finishes are installed stops them from below, something that cannot be delayed as in completed districts.

The second reason

Temporary stores on site are bait sources

Storage sheds for building materials and temporary worker camps on the construction plot hold foodstuffs and grain that strongly attract rodents. Treatment focuses on these sources first before bait is placed inside the new unit.

The third reason

Incomplete finishes leave entry gaps

Wiring, pipes and ducts at different building stages leave unsealed gaps. These gaps change rapidly as construction advances, so regular monitoring matters more than in completed areas.

Before treatment

What we read in the building before any bait goes down

Hilly terrain between Wadi Malakan and Kasab Hills, cut through by the Fifth Ring Road and Ibrahim Al Khalil Road, with active excavation, fill operations and temporary storage compounds.

An exterior door with a narrow gap at the threshold

The gap under the door

The gap under doors in new buildings is wider during finishing phases, and door frames and thresholds are only installed at the end.

Pipes passing through a concrete wall from outside

Pipe and conduit openings

Openings for pipes and air conditioning units are left open during construction, and rodents enter through them before gaps around them are sealed.

An electrical cable with its outer sheath damaged

Gnaw marks

Gnaw marks on wiring, insulation and plastic pipes show clearly in new buildings before finishing is complete.

The corner between a skirting board and a tiled floor

The run along the wall

The run along the wall starts from adjacent construction sites and reaches the gaps in new foundations and floors.

The route from above

The route from above through temporary scaffolding and ceilings gives rodents quick access before internal walls are fixed in place.

Sacks of grain stored on a storeroom floor

The water and the food on offer

Water and food are available from building stores, temporary sheds and excavations where rainwater collects.

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.

The character of Al Qashashiyah Al Jadid

New development: ongoing construction and vacant plots between the homes

A new development in Al Qashashiyah means rodent treatment focuses on preventing settlement during construction and finishing phases rather than eliminating established colonies. Fresh gaps and temporary stores are the ideal environment, so early sealing is more effective than late treatment.

Questions about this district

Are rodents in the new district more or fewer than elsewhere?

More during construction, because excavation and fill sites provide ideal shelter and food from building stores. After construction finishes the problem drops if gaps are properly sealed.

When should rodent treatment start in a new home?

Before occupancy, once basic finishes are complete. This prevents rodents that may have entered with furniture or materials from settling in the structure.

Do the surrounding vacant plots worsen the problem?

Yes, vacant ground and temporary stores provide a steady rodent source. Treatment focuses on blocking entry routes from these areas into the building.

Is sealing gaps under the foundation enough alone?

No. You must also monitor and seal gaps around pipes, ducts and cables entering from the sides, under floors and through ceilings.

How many treatments does a new construction area need?

One initial treatment, then regular monitoring during construction and finishing. After completion further treatment may not be needed if gaps are sealed.

Do building materials themselves attract rodents?

Some lightweight materials like cork and insulation provide shelter. Raised floors and hollow walls offer movement routes before they are sealed.

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