Rodents and mice in Al Shamiyah Al Jadid Makkah

Al Shamiyah Al Jadid is Crown Prince scheme one on Al Laith Road, the westernmost of the new southern developments out by the Fifth Ring Road. New-build villas and apartment blocks stand on broad streets with planned gardens and green spaces, but ongoing construction, open foundation pits and vacant plots between new homes mean rodents shelter in excavated ground and unfinished foundations before they ever enter the completed buildings.

Why they keep coming back in Al Shamiyah Al Jadid

New buildings with well-protected foundations and villas with gardens require protection both during and immediately after construction, and ongoing building work translocates rodent populations between zones. The method is set out in full on what Rodents and mice involves.

The first reason

Open vacant plots, excavation pits and foundations

The new scheme contains numerous open plots and exposed pits for buildings under construction. Rodents use these excavations as shelters and tunnel between them. When new villas are completed, rodents migrating from the pits move inside easily because new foundations may not yet be properly sealed and protected.

The second reason

New gardens, green areas and irrigation water

The scheme includes new gardens, young trees and modern irrigation systems. Irrigation water and moist soil attract rodents, and fresh grasses provide immediate food sources. This differs entirely from older districts where gardens are scarce and soil is drier.

The third reason

Commercial plots, new shops and restaurants

The scheme includes commercial plots and a planned leisure park with new shops and restaurants. These facilities provide permanent food sources close to residential housing, attracting rodent populations to the entire zone.

Before treatment

What we read in the building before any bait goes down

The new scheme rises on high ground beside the Al Laith road and Fifth Ring Road, surrounded by open land and commercial plots, with construction still active across excavation sites and open-air works.

The gap under the door

Gaps under doors in new villas may be slightly loose during construction and finishing phases, and workers may not seal them tightly.

Pipes passing through a concrete wall from outside

Pipe and conduit openings

Pipe and conduit openings around new villas are newly installed and may lack adequate external protection.

Gnaw marks

Gnaw marks are rare initially, but once rodents enter from neighbouring plots they appear quickly on wires and insulation.

The run along the wall

The run along walls follows new electrical and pipe routes, and is easy to trace because walls remain clean and new.

The route from above

Routes overhead through new ceiling voids may not exist initially, but water leakage from irrigation can create fresh gaps.

The water and the food on offer

Water from modern irrigation systems and new plantings, combined with nearby shops and restaurants, provides abundant food and drink.

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 Shamiyah Al Jadid

New development: ongoing construction and vacant plots between the homes

In a new-development scheme of modern villas and apartments, rodents originate from open plots and neighbouring excavations rather than from within the villa itself. Treatment prioritises protecting the villa during construction and immediately after, with garden perimeters and external barriers taking precedence over interior treatments in the early stages.

Questions about this district

When should treatment of a new villa begin: before or after occupancy?

Begin before occupancy or immediately upon moving in. During construction and finishing, rodents enter through open foundations. Once sealed, we concentrate on barriers around external openings and garden perimeters.

Do plants and grasses around new villas attract more rodents?

Yes, fresh moist vegetation provides food and shelter. Rodents arrive from neighbouring vacant plots to feed on new plantings. We recommend cutting tall grasses and thinning dense planting.

Do scattered stone and building materials in gardens shelter rodents?

Yes, stacked stone, sand and leftover construction materials provide immediate shelter very close to the villa. We focus on clearing the garden of these materials and grading the soil level.

Does construction work on neighbouring plots increase rodents in new villas?

Yes, excavations, piping and electrical work attract rodents from multiple directions. We emphasise perimeter barriers around each villa rather than relying on bait alone.

Do modern irrigation systems attract rodents with water?

Yes, water from modern irrigation and soil dampness create attractive conditions. We recommend avoiding over-watering and ensuring excess water drains away from villa foundations.

Is it safe to use traps and bait in new villas with children and pets?

Yes, traps and bait in locked stations are safe. Stations must be placed away from play areas and pet access points.

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