Why they keep coming back in Al Umrah Al Jadidah

Rodents here settle under raised floors in villas and apartment blocks, using the irrigation system and gardens as steady sources of water and food. The method is set out in full on how we approach Rodents and mice.

The first reason

Irrigated gardens supply continuous water and food

Villas and modern buildings have gardens watered regularly all year by sprinkler systems. This water attracts rodents from the street and neighbouring vacant plots. Plants and grass in the gardens provide constant natural food.

The second reason

Raised floors provide protected shelter

New villas and apartment buildings in Al Umrah Al Jadidah have raised floors to keep out damp. Rodents settle easily under these floors and climb into rooms through pipe and wiring gaps.

The third reason

Vacant plots and adjacent projects provide routes

Large parts of the scheme remain vacant land and half built projects. Rodents come from these areas and move freely between villas and apartments via gardens and gaps.

Before treatment

What we read in the building before any bait goes down

A spacious residential district on the Madinah road near the Fourth Ring Road, villas and apartment buildings on wide schemes with irrigated gardens and private swimming pools.

An exterior door with a narrow gap at the threshold

The gap under the door

The gap under doors in modern villas and apartments may be wider than expected because of minor foundation settling.

Pipes passing through a concrete wall from outside

Pipe and conduit openings

Openings for pipes and air units in new villas may leave wide gaps because workers used ducts of different sizes.

An electrical cable with its outer sheath damaged

Gnaw marks

Gnaw marks on wiring, insulation and plastic pipes are clearly visible under raised floors.

The corner between a skirting board and a tiled floor

The run along the wall

The run along the wall starts from irrigated gardens and enters through gaps under raised floors.

The route from above

The route from above may come via roofs and gaps between villas and apartments in the same scheme.

Sacks of grain stored on a storeroom floor

The water and the food on offer

Water and food are available from irrigated gardens, pools and insects attracted by continuous 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 Al Umrah Sub-Municipality

Al Umrah sub municipality covers the north west of Makkah along the Madinah road and the old Jeddah road, from At Tanim and Masjid Aisha to An Nawwariyah. Its districts are the city's newest, villas and apartment blocks raised on wide schemes where large tracts in Al Umrah Al Jadidah, Al Fayha and Al Buhayrat remain vacant or under construction. Wadi Saraf and Wadi At Tanim run through it and rainwater gathers on unfinished schemes, ihram shops, restaurants and coach stops along the Madinah road serve a constant flow of pilgrims, and villas fill Al Hamra and Umm Al Jud.

Questions about this district

Do irrigated gardens in Al Umrah Al Jadidah increase rodent numbers?

Yes, continuous water from sprinklers and fresh plants attract rodents from far away. They drink from the gardens and feed on the plants, then enter homes seeking more food.

Does the type of irrigation system affect the rodent problem?

Yes, regular sprinkler systems keep gardens permanently damp, which attracts rodents. Drip irrigation may reduce the problem slightly but does not solve it.

Can gaps under raised floors be sealed?

Most can be sealed with metal mesh or gnaw proof material, but gaps around pipes must stay open for drainage and ventilation.

How far do rodents travel from vacant plots to a villa?

Rodents may travel kilometres from vacant ground. Irrigated gardens attract them from very long distances.

Do private swimming pools provide water for rodents?

Yes, pools supply fresh water and may provide food if the villa is close to food stores or gardens.

Is treating the garden outside and under the floor inside both necessary?

Yes, treating the garden from outside stops rodents from entering, and treating gaps under floors from inside removes their shelter.

How much does rodents and mice in Al Umrah Al Jadidah 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 Umrah Al Jadidah.
