Rodents and mice in Al Salihiyah Jeddah

Al Salihiyah is a new district in north Jeddah east of Al Hamdaniyah and south of Al Falah and Al Rahmaniyah, laid out as subdivisions of recent villas and apartments with vacant plots between the buildings. Al Furusiyah Street connects the district to main roads. Rodents arrive from vacant land and new gardens and move easily into incomplete villas.

Why they keep coming back in Al Salihiyah

New Al Salihiyah has scattered building with incomplete villas showing large openings, and rodents move from vacant land into villas with complete freedom. The method is set out in full on Rodents and mice in detail.

The first reason

Vacant plots and excavation sites

Al Salihiyah is a new scheme with wide vacant land between villas and ongoing excavations. Water pools at building sites and provides damp conditions that attract rodents.

The second reason

Incomplete villas with large openings

New villas in Al Salihiyah are not yet complete, with large windows, doors and openings standing empty. Rodents enter and settle before residents move in.

The third reason

Irrigated gardens and new pipe systems

New villas have gardens with modern irrigation systems. Water seeping from pipes supplies continuous moisture under the soil, drawing rodents to tunnel around foundations.

The character of Al Salihiyah

New development: ongoing construction and vacant plots between the homes

A new development means construction is ongoing with large openings and rodents settle before residents move in. Preventive treatment before occupation is very important, and sealing openings and gaps before residents arrive prevents problems taking hold.

Before treatment

What we read in the building before any bait goes down

Al Salihiyah is a new scheme with wide streets and large gaps between villas, and water pools in excavations and building sites. New irrigated gardens provide continuous water.

The gap under the door

Gaps under new villa doors are small but large openings in incomplete villas provide direct entry.

Pipes passing through a concrete wall from outside

Pipe and conduit openings

Pipe and conduit openings in incomplete villas stand fully open and floors are unsealed, offering no protection against entry.

Gnaw marks

Gnaw marks may appear on material bags in temporary building stores around the site.

The run along the wall

Runs along walls appear if an incomplete villa has been temporarily occupied by construction workers.

The water and the food on offer

Water is available from pooling at building sites and irrigation systems, and food is present in stores and occupied villas.

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.

Landmarks of Al Salihiyah

Questions about this district

Are vacant plots and excavations the main rodent source?

Yes, vacant land offers shelter and excavations provide water. Rodents live on vacant plots and move into villas searching for food.

Are incomplete villas more vulnerable than finished ones?

Yes, large openings allow easy entry. Rodents enter the incomplete villas and wait before residents move in.

Do modern irrigation systems provide routes for rodents?

New pipes supply water under the soil that attracts rodents. Rodents tunnel following the routes of leaking supply lines.

Why does new Al Salihiyah need treatment if it is a new planned scheme?

The new scheme creates new rodent sources: vacant plots, irrigation systems and incomplete villas. The new environment offers shelter and water in abundance.

Do gaps between villas provide safe passage routes for rodents?

Yes, wide gaps and vacant land provide safe passages. Rodents move between villas without obstruction.

Is treating the whole project before occupation necessary?

Yes, full treatment before occupation prevents settling. After occupation regular treatment every two months is necessary to prevent re-entry.

How much does rodents and mice in Al Salihiyah 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 Salihiyah.
