Snake control in Al Ghazzah Al Jadid Makkah
Al Ghazzah Al Jadid is a new development on the Al Laith road in south-west Makkah where the Fourth Ring Road meets Al Laith Road. Building is still scattered with many vacant plots between homes. Snakes use these open spaces and the old Al Laith road itself as corridors between regions.

Why they keep coming back in Al Ghazzah Al Jadid
Vast vacant plots and scattered building create long open routes for snakes to move freely. Rats nest in the empty land between houses before entering homes. The method is set out in full on what Snake control involves.
Vast vacant land between houses
Al Ghazzah Al Jadid is distinguished by huge vacant plots between villas and flats. These large open spaces provide snakes with clear, safe routes to move and vast areas where rats nest undisturbed before reaching homes.
Scattered building with exposed foundations
Building remains scattered and foundations and external walls are exposed and unsealed. Snakes enter easily beneath foundations and through side gaps, settling under floors before emerging inside.
Proximity to Al Laith Road and Fourth Ring Road
The scheme sits on Al Laith Road, a major route connecting multiple regions. Snakes use the road, roadside grass and drainage channels as transit corridors. Continuous traffic provides cover for snakes to enter the development.

Open in Google MapsWhat the site tells us before we start
The scheme is the Crown Prince development nearest to the completed built-up area, with Ahmad Al Barqi Street running through it, plots zoned for commercial and residential use, and scattered petrol stations.
A shed skin
Shed skins lie in vacant plots around villas and in gaps beneath their foundations.
The track in the sand
Tracks in sand and earth in vacant plots show long lines where snakes have moved.
Block and rubble piles
Piles of stones, bricks and materials in vacant land provide hideouts for snakes and rats.
The gap under the gate
Gaps beneath new villa foundations and external walls offer easy entry for snakes.
Rodent burrows
Rat burrows in vacant plots and roadside grass are the direct draw. Snakes follow them toward villas.
A leaking irrigation line
Irrigation channels and small water pooling in vacant plots provide water for rats and snakes.
How we work
-
1
Inspect and locate
We work the perimeter, the garden and the service rooms with a torch and a mirror, reading the tracks, the skins and the burrows to establish whether it is still on site and where it came in.
-
2
Safe removal
It comes out on a hook and tongs into a closed container and is released away from buildings where that is possible, with no chasing it around a room.
-
3
Close the routes, take away the shelter
A strip under the gate, sleeves around pipe entries, tight covers on the floor drains, and the blocks and palm fronds moved off the wall line.
-
4
Cut the food, then come back
We treat the rodents and the geckos on the perimeter, then return once that activity has settled to check the sealed points and look for any fresh track.
What snake control includes
-
A recorded site inspection
Perimeter, garden, service rooms and pipe entries, with tracks and skins recorded before anything is applied.
-
Drains and entries closed
Tight covers on floor drains, sleeves around waste and air conditioning pipe runs, and the weep holes in the boundary wall closed.
-
Rodent work around the building
Closed bait stations on the rodent runs, because cutting the prey is what makes the site stop suiting them.
-
Perimeter treatment down the food chain
Insects on lit walls hold the geckos, and geckos feed some species, so we treat the chain from the bottom up.
-
A perimeter housekeeping list
What to move off the wall line, how low to cut the ground cover, where the lighting sits, and what to do if you see another one.
-
A scheduled follow-up
A set date to check the sealed points, the rodent stations and any new track in the sand.

Questions about this district
My new house sits in vast vacant land. Is treating just the house sufficient?
Treating the house protects it from snakes inside. But vacant plots around it shelter snakes and rats. Snakes will arrive repeatedly from the open land. Perimeter gaps must be sealed too.
Are the vacant plots around my house the main source of snakes?
Yes. Vacant land is the primary source, providing rats with shelter. Snakes follow rats to the vacant plots first, then to the house.
Should we delay moving into our villa until the scheme is fully built?
If possible, delay is better. Abundant vacant plots mean many snakes. If you move now, immediate comprehensive treatment is essential.
After heavy rain, does snake risk increase rapidly?
Yes. Rain drives snakes from vacant plots closer to homes seeking dry shelter. Rats also seek elevated refuge after rain.
If we treat just our villa and the vacant land around stays untreated, will snakes stop coming?
Your villa is protected from snakes inside. But untreated vacant land will send new snakes repeatedly. Comprehensive treatment includes the land around your villa.
How do snakes cross the long distance from vacant land to reach the villa?
Snakes move slowly but steadily when hungry. Gaps and cracks reduce the distance. Snakes enter villas easily through foundation gaps and external wall cracks.
How much does snake control in Al Ghazzah 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 Ghazzah Al Jadid.
