Snake control in Al Muntazahat Jeddah

Al Muntazahat stretches along Old Makkah Road in south eastern Jeddah, with villas, apartment blocks and commercial frontages facing the main road, and vacant plots and active digging between the planned blocks. The old road, main street location and mixed building types create an environment that attracts rodents and snakes.

Told before we start

What we will use, where it goes, and what to cover or move before we arrive.
A follow-up visit

We return after the first treatment, because what survives it does not show on the day.
Homes and businesses

Apartments and villas, and kitchens and stores that need a record of each visit.

Why they keep coming back in Al Muntazahat

New excavations and empty land displace rats and snakes from old shelters toward occupied homes. The method is set out in full on Snake control in detail.

The first reason

Commercial shopfronts on the main road with homes directly behind

Small shops and restaurants facing Old Makkah Road provide daily food waste. Homes sit very close behind the shops, and doors between shop and house never seal properly.

The second reason

Vacant plots and digging between closely spaced subdivisions

Gaps between villas and blocks offer safe passages. New excavations displace rats from old hiding places, driving migration into nearby homes.

The third reason

Dust and truck movement on Old Makkah Road shaking foundations

The road itself vibrates constantly with truck traffic. Vibration and pressure on aged foundations opens new cracks every month.

Before treatment

What the site tells us before we start

Old Makkah Road passes through the district itself. A mix of villas and apartment blocks. Vacant plots between subdivisions. Dust and constant movement from trucks and traffic.

A shed skin

Shed skin appears around cracks in the foundation caused by road vibration and traffic movement.

A winding trail across fine sand beside a wall

The track in the sand

Tracks in dust in the foundation gap show repeated movement from front shops toward the house.

Concrete blocks stacked against an exterior wall

Block and rubble piles

Piles of block and rubble from repairs and excavations offer seasonal rat shelter.

A closed metal gate with a visible gap beneath it

The gap under the gate

The gap beneath the gate widens due to constant vibration from truck traffic on the main road.

A burrow opening in dry soil beside a garden

Rodent burrows

Rodent burrows under the foundation and front shops are dense year round.

A drip irrigation line leaking onto garden soil

A leaking irrigation line

Leaking water from shop drains and exposed gaps keeps soil beneath the foundation damp.

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.

What is different about Umm Al Salam Sub-Municipality

The Umm Al Salam sub municipality covers the east and south east of Jeddah along the Old Makkah Road and the Haramain Road. It pairs recently planned districts such as Al Wahah, Al Nakhil and Al Shuruq with popular districts that grew outside formal planning, including Al Harazat, Al Mahamid and Umm Al Salam. The older areas have ageing drainage, unpaved streets and vacant plots where building waste collects, conditions that suit rodents, cockroaches and ants. The newer areas are ringed by half built subdivisions and open excavations.

Questions about this district

Our villa faces Old Makkah Road with shops in front. Does this attract snakes?

Yes. Front shops and eateries provide daily rat food. Rats migrate from shops into the villa foundation through existing gaps.

They started digging on the vacant plot next to us. Will snakes move in?

Yes. Excavations displace rats and snakes from old shelters. Snakes migrate toward occupied villas and apartments seeking water.

My old villa sits on this busy road. Does vibration increase snake risk?

Yes. Road vibration and truck traffic widen cracks in aged foundations continuously. New gaps offer easy entry for snakes.

Are the front shops responsible for snakes entering my villa?

Shops provide rat food but you own the villa and its sealing. The snake follows rats, not the shop itself.

How many houses on this street have seen snakes before? Is the risk shared?

Rats and snakes exist in the main road corridor. If your neighbour saw a snake, gaps likely exist in your foundation too.

Does digging next door affect the foundation of my older villa?

Yes. Excavation vibration from machinery widens cracks in nearby old foundations. New gaps offer entry for snakes and rodents.

How much does snake control in Al Muntazahat 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 Muntazahat.
