Rodents and mice in Al Shubaikah Al Jadid Makkah

Al Shubaikah Al Jadid is a new development south of the city on the Al Laith road, part of the Crown Prince schemes with modern villas and bare granted plots between them, wide streets and scattered building. Rodents flee demolition and construction work elsewhere and shelter among stacked materials and open pits, moving into completed villas.

Why they keep coming back in Al Shubaikah Al Jadid

Building is scattered and villas wait for occupancy, and rodents and snakes find shelter in stacked materials and open foundation pits throughout the season. The method is set out in full on the full Rodents and mice page.

The first reason

Deep trenches and stacked materials

Deep foundation trenches and service channels offer natural safe tunnels before concrete is poured. Bricks, steel and materials stacked beside them provide complete shelter for rodents.

The second reason

Empty plots and wet pockets

Wadi Uranah floods after rain and leaves wet hollows. Wild plants and dried grass provide seasonal food, and trapped water gives them drinking water year round.

The third reason

Completed empty villas

New villas finished but unfurnished offer safe empty shelter. Rodents hide in them and wait for actual occupation.

Before treatment

What we read in the building before any bait goes down

Part of the western Crown Prince schemes on the Al Laith road next to Al Shamiyah Al Jadid, mostly bare land, Wadi Uranah runs through low areas, hills such as Jabal Lubnah rise round about.

An exterior door with a narrow gap at the threshold

The gap under the door

Doors and windows in new villas are not completely sealed, and gaps around frames are wide and allow easy rodent entry.

Pipes passing through a concrete wall from outside

Pipe and conduit openings

Water, power and sewer pipes buried around foundations are not fully covered, and gaps around pipes provide entry points.

An electrical cable with its outer sheath damaged

Gnaw marks

New concrete may have small cracks that rodents probe and enlarge.

The run along the wall

Rodents run easily across bare ground and up the smooth tall walls of new villas.

Drain and sewer openings in the villa are not yet protected, and rodents enter through them.

The water and the food on offer

Empty plots provide food from plants, and irrigation and flood water provide permanent drinking water.

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 South Makkah Sub-Municipality

South Makkah sub municipality is the belt of Crown Prince schemes south of Al Ukayshiyah, along the Al Laith road and the extension of Ibrahim Al Khalil Road to the Fifth Ring Road and the Non Muslims bypass. Most of it is still bare: granted plots awaiting houses, new villas standing alone, open building sites and unfinished paving and drainage. Wadi Uranah and its tributaries cross the low ground and hold water after rain, hills close it in, and rodents, reptiles and scorpions shelter in stacked materials and foundation pits before the neighbourhoods fill up.

Questions about this district

New villas are still empty. Do rodents enter them now?

Yes, empty villas offer safe shelter. Rodents enter through open doors and windows and hide in cavities below floors and above ceilings.

Do wild rodents live in the empty plots next to the villas?

Yes, wild land offers food and water. Rodents move between land and villas easily through gaps and open fences.

Do floods after rain bring rodents from the wadis?

Yes, running water may carry wild rodents. After floods we focus on villa entrances and floor cavities.

Is the new wide street fully paved?

The street is not finished and may have uncovered trenches for pipes and drains. Rodents use them as safe passages.

Do steel fences between villas stop rodents?

New steel fences do not stop rodents. They burrow under or climb over. We focus on sealing the villa's main entrance.

When should we treat? Before moving in or after?

Before moving is better. We treat the new villa one or two days before furniture arrives, and set traps in dark places.

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