Snake control in Al Naseem Jeddah

Al Naseem is a mixed central district in Jeddah between Prince Majid Road and the Haramain Road, with villas and residential apartment blocks along busy commercial streets filled with restaurants, clinics and medical complexes. The relatively older district crowded with residents and commercial activity, old buildings and ageing pipes mean many gaps and openings. Medical complexes and clinics provide steady food sources for rodents and cockroaches, and snakes follow them.

Why they keep coming back in Al Naseem

Imam Al Shafi'i Mosque, medical complexes and clinics in the district provide continuous commercial activity, and medical and food waste attracts rodents. The method is set out in full on the full Snake control page.

The first reason

Old buildings and ageing pipework

Al Naseem is relatively old with buildings constructed decades ago, and the original pipes and networks were never renewed. Rust and corrosion widened gaps around pipes. A snake passes through gaps that did not exist once, but developed over years.

The second reason

Medical complexes and clinics as food sources

Medical complexes and clinics in the district maintain clean facilities but also produce waste and food residues. Rodents come for medical and food waste, and snakes follow them. Openings in the medical complex may be openings in the boundary wall of the neighbouring district.

The third reason

Commercial streets with restaurants and furnished flats

Busy commercial streets crowded with restaurants and furnished flat rentals and small shops. Restaurants attract rodents and snakes, and furnished flats often receive poor maintenance. Gaps between a shop and the flat above may stay open.

The character of Al Naseem

Mixed district: shops at street level with homes above them

A villa and apartment building side by side mean a snake may enter from a ground floor shop or clinic and climb shared pipes. The search must cover both building types if they share a foundation or networks.

Before treatment

What the site tells us before we start

Old buildings and decades of use mean water and drainage networks are worn and cracked. Shared lower floors between homes and shops may mean shared pipe lines.

A shed skin

Shed skin may appear on old pipes with rust on them in lower floors.

A winding trail across fine sand beside a wall

The track in the sand

Tracks on damp ground around drain openings in the street are clear in the morning.

Concrete blocks stacked against an exterior wall

Block and rubble piles

Piles of scrap and old materials around old buildings provide shelter for snakes.

A closed metal gate with a visible gap beneath it

The gap under the gate

The gap under a door in an old building may be wider from natural foundation settling.

A burrow opening in dry soil beside a garden

Rodent burrows

Rodent burrows around medical complexes and clinics are deep, and snakes wait at the openings.

A drip irrigation line leaking onto garden soil

A leaking irrigation line

Old drainage lines leak water and grease, and snakes move through these lines toward food sources.

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 Al Sharafiyah Sub-Municipality

The Al Sharafiyah sub municipality runs across central Jeddah from Al Ruwais near the Corniche eastwards through Al Sharafiyah, Al Wurud and Bani Malik to Al Naseem at the Haramain Road. It was among the first areas to grow beyond the old wall, and it is dominated by dense apartment blocks over shops along King Fahd Road and Palestine Street, with old popular quarters, the Bani Malik market, car workshops and storerooms. Ageing buildings, worn drainage and the refuse of restaurants and markets make cockroaches and rodents the most persistent pests, and humidity rises towards the sea.

Questions about this district

My house is on a commercial street. Does this increase snake risk?

Yes, the commercial street attracts rodents and snakes. If the house is above a shop or clinic the risk is higher.

A medical complex is next to us. Do medical waste bins attract snakes?

Medical waste may attract rodents more than snakes, but rodents attract snakes. A medical complex is a steady rodent source.

The building is old with old pipes. Can broken pipes be entry points?

Yes, broken and old pipes offer passages for snakes from underground. Gaps around pipes may be direct entry.

A furnished flat above a restaurant. Can snakes climb up?

Very likely. Restaurants attract rodents and snakes follow them. If pipes are shared the snake may climb.

Al Sharq Park is close by. Does it supply snakes to the neighbourhood?

A nearby public park provides natural habitat for snakes and small creatures. A district close to the park may attract snakes from it.

How many houses on this street have seen snakes before?

I cannot say, but if snakes appear in several houses the whole street may be one environment for them.

How much does snake control in Al Naseem 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 Naseem.
