Rodents and mice in Tarwiyah Makkah

Tarwiyah is a newly named scheme east of Al Sharai between King Faisal Road to the south and King Abdulaziz Sports City to the north. New apartments, villas and plots sit on level ground with Wadi Mudarraja running along the east side carrying seasonal floods. Rodents find shelter among the scattered new buildings, steady water from the wadi and food from the construction activity.

Why they keep coming back in Tarwiyah

Vacant plots between new villas provide safe passage routes, and ongoing construction means large gaps between buildings of different ages and stages of completion. The method is set out in full on our Rodents and mice service.

The first reason

Vacant plots connect new scattered buildings

The new villas and apartments are spaced apart across level ground with empty plots between them. Rodents move easily across open ground from villa to villa, and windows and ground level doors close to the bare earth are easy to penetrate.

The second reason

Wadi Mudarraja brings floods and persistent damp

The wadi carries seasonal floods and then dries, leaving silt and damp. Villas near the wadi are most at risk, and water is available year round from seepage and background humidity.

The third reason

Ongoing construction means continuous gaps

The expansion schemes are new and building is still happening, so gaps between new buildings, older ones and those under construction remain large. Rodents use these gaps as safe highways.

The character of Tarwiyah

New development: ongoing construction and vacant plots between the homes

A new development means the new villas are at risk because vacant plots surround them and the wadi is close. Gaps between new and old villas provide continuous passage, and regular treatment is necessary to prevent establishment.

Before treatment

What we read in the building before any bait goes down

The district sits at low elevation opposite King Faisal Road, and Wadi Mudarraja cuts along the eastern side carrying seasonal moisture and flood water.

An exterior door with a narrow gap at the threshold

The gap under the door

The gaps under doors in new villas meet modern standards but the exposed ground around each villa provides easy routes inward.

Pipes passing through a concrete wall from outside

Pipe and conduit openings

Drainage, water and air conditioning pipes provide gaps around every entry, and rodents enter from behind them.

Gnaw marks

Gnaw marks on supplies and stored goods are visible where rodents have accessed storage areas.

The run along the wall

Wall runs outside the villa are more visible than inside, with rodents moving across the vacant plots.

The route from above

Entry from above happens through ventilation grilles and upper windows.

Sacks of grain stored on a storeroom floor

The water and the food on offer

Water from the wadi and background moisture, plus food from construction activity and waste, is constantly available.

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 Sharai Sub-Municipality

Al Sharai is the eastern growth front of Makkah along King Faisal Road and the Taif road. Settled quarters sit beside recently renamed schemes where plots are still vacant and buildings are going up, so construction sites, fill and open excavations lie next to occupied homes. Wadi channels such as Wadi Mudarraja, Wadi Al Sharai and Wadi Al Mughammas carry flash floods after rain and dry out to damp silt, while dust blows off the open hills. Roadside shops, restaurants and warehouses line the Taif road, and to the east the area shades into villages, palm farms and springs.

Questions about this district

Why are new villas in Tarwiyah at risk from rodents despite being new?

New villas stand isolated with vacant plots around them, and rodents move easily across open ground. Ground level windows and doors are vulnerable if not sealed with care.

Does Wadi Mudarraja bring rodents from far away into Tarwiyah?

Yes. The wadi carries reptiles and rodent groups after rain, and rodents migrate toward food and water in the nearby villas.

Do gaps between new and old villas provide passage routes for rodents?

Yes, exactly. Gaps between villas provide safe passage, and rodents move easily from villa to villa.

How often should Tarwiyah villas need treatment each year?

Quarterly treatment is best, and monthly for villas near the wadi. Regular monitoring between treatments is essential.

Do modern floors stop rodents entering from below ground?

Modern floors are better than old, but rodents enter under doors and through gaps around pipes and ducting.

Is strict regular treatment necessary in a new district like Tarwiyah?

Yes. The district is new but vacant plots and the wadi provide steady natural sources of rodents.

How much does rodents and mice in Tarwiyah 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 Tarwiyah.
