Snake control in Madain Al Fahd Jeddah
Madain Al Fahd is a mixed residential district framed by Old Makkah Road to the north, Stadium Road to the east, Madain Al Fahd Road to the west and Al Falah Road to the south. Villas and apartment blocks sit near Prince Abdullah Al Faisal Stadium alongside shops, restaurants and neighbourhood mosques. Snakes enter the shops hunting rats then climb into neighbouring flats.

Why they keep coming back in Madain Al Fahd
Mixed commercial, residential and sports uses create abundant food and shelter for rats and snakes throughout the district. The method is set out in full on our Snake control service.
Shops and restaurants scattered among villas and flats
Madain Al Fahd has commercial outlets and eating places interspersed with villas and flats. The shops provide rich rat food. Snakes enter shops hunting rats, then move into neighbouring flats through shared gaps and pipes.
Closely packed villas and flats with tight gaps
Villas and flats are tightly clustered with very narrow gaps between them. These gaps contain old pipes and wiring. Snakes move easily between residential units following rats.
Proximity to the stadium and foot traffic
The district sits close to Prince Abdullah Al Faisal Stadium with constant activity and movement. Waste and scraps feed rats and birds. Snakes follow them into the neighbourhood.
The character of Madain Al Fahd
Mixed district: shops at street level with homes above them
In a mixed district, snakes do not distinguish between villas, flats and shops. They are all connected by the same gaps and rat populations. Treating one unit without treating adjacent shops or villas may offer only temporary protection.
What the site tells us before we start
The district is bounded by Madain Al Fahd Road on its west, Al Falah Road on its south, Old Makkah Road on its north and Stadium Road on its east.
A shed skin
Shed skins lie in narrow gaps between villas and flats and inside shops.
The track in the sand
Tracks on damp shop and restaurant floors show clearly in early morning.
Block and rubble piles
Piles of waste and scraps from eating places feed rats and snakes.
The gap under the gate
Gaps beneath shop doors, flat doors and between units provide routes for snake movement.
Rodent burrows
Rat burrows in shared walls between villas, flats and shops are the direct draw.
A leaking irrigation line
Drainage and irrigation pipes leak, creating damp that attracts 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
Restaurants and shops are mixed among villas and flats. Does this increase snakes?
Yes significantly. Shops and restaurants provide abundant rat food. Snakes follow rats. Mixed residential and commercial means many more snakes.
Are the first occupied villas much more at risk than later villas in the district?
Yes. Villas closest to shops and main streets receive snakes first. Later villas may receive snakes from neighbouring villas if untreated.
Is treating just our villa enough if vacant land around us is full of rats?
Treating your villa protects it from snakes inside. But vacant land stays a source of new arrivals. Comprehensive treatment of surrounding gaps is necessary.
Does Prince Abdullah Al Faisal Stadium beside the district attract more snakes?
Yes. The stadium, activity and movement create waste and scraps that feed rats and birds. Snakes follow them.
Does Taibah Mosque beside the home increase snake problems?
Mosques do not directly attract snakes, but gaps and rats around one may. The mosque may also offer shelter.
If we treat our flat alone but shops below are full of rats, will snakes still come?
Treating your flat protects it from snakes inside. But shops below remain a snake source. Comprehensive treatment must include shops and shared gaps.
How much does snake control in Madain Al Fahd 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 Madain Al Fahd.
