Snake control in Shaab Amer Al Jadid Makkah

Shaab Amer Al Jadid is Crown Prince scheme nine A in far southern Makkah, with granted residential plots and ongoing modern building between the Fifth Ring Road and Ibrahim Al Khalil Road. Wadi Uranah runs through the centre across vast stretches of still empty ground. Modern buildings with large gaps between them and the wadi channel passing through provide safe passages for snakes.

Why they keep coming back in Shaab Amer Al Jadid

Snakes in Shaab Amer Al Jadid appear between new houses and wide vacant ground, especially after rain when the wadi floods. The method is set out in full on our Snake control service.

The first reason

The wadi through the scheme and seasonal rat migration

Wadi Uranah passes through the scheme and the empty ground, and when it floods in winter, rats seek shelter by entering new houses hunting warmth. Snakes follow directly into homes and plots chasing the displaced rodent populations.

The second reason

Empty ground and gaps between plots

Very large empty spaces and wide gaps between plots provide natural safe passages for snakes to move from plot to plot. Hunting in a neighbouring house may prove easier and faster than searching for food in the current building.

The third reason

Ongoing construction and exposed foundation gaps

Building continues on many plots, leaving large gaps in foundations and temporary walls. Snakes exploit this temporary chaos, sheltering in open gaps and hunting rats that have entered new buildings.

Before treatment

What the site tells us before we start

A new residential scheme in the far south with land grants and continuous building, very large empty ground between plots and houses, Wadi Uranah passing through the scheme, bounded by the Fifth Ring Road to the north.

A shed skin

Shed skin lies in open gaps between plots and newly constructed houses.

The track in the sand

Crawl tracks on sand and earth are very obvious in empty ground and between house gaps.

Concrete blocks stacked against an exterior wall

Block and rubble piles

Concrete block and rubble piles from ongoing construction provide countless shelters for snakes and rodents.

The gap under the gate

The gap beneath new house gates needs immediate sealing before occupation.

Rodent burrows

Rodent burrows are very abundant in empty ground and around the wadi in every season.

Water from temporary supply lines and pooled water in excavations create permanent damp patches attracting rats.

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.

Landmarks of Shaab Amer Al Jadid

The scheme is reached from the Fifth Ring Road to the north, with Ibrahim Al Khalil Road extending from the west. Wadi Uranah cuts across the scheme from east to west, making the empty ground surrounding the wadi a focal point for rat and snake concentration especially after rain.

Questions about this district

Building is not finished yet. Do snakes enter unfinished houses?

Yes absolutely. Open gaps and numerous missing sections provide complete shelter for snakes and rodents together. An unfinished house may be an ideal shelter for a snake hunting water, warmth and prey.

Should we plant the empty ground or leave it bare?

Empty ground provides natural cover for rats and snakes. Leaving it bare may be better than random planting, but clearing dense vegetation reduces available shelter.

Wadi Uranah floods between the houses. Does this increase snake risk?

Yes significantly. The wadi carries rats and insects and provides water for snakes. Houses very close to the wadi channel face higher risk, especially during rainy seasons and flooding.

Should there be a dividing fence between adjacent houses?

A fence with no gaps beneath it may help reduce horizontal snake movement. But the fence alone is insufficient if foundation levels are low and gaps beneath are large.

In a new house on the scheme, do snakes come from the wadi or from neighbouring houses?

Both sources may supply snakes. The wadi provides rodent prey, and neighbouring houses may too. If the house is close to the wadi and near occupied buildings, risk is doubled.

Can we prevent snakes from entering before moving into the new house?

Yes. Sealing every gap and opening before occupation is essential. Treating rodents and managing damp before moving in provides better protection than trying to solve the problem after taking residence.

How much does snake control in Shaab Amer 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 Shaab Amer Al Jadid.
