Termite control in Al Falaq Al Jadid Makkah

Al Falaq Al Jadid is Crown Prince scheme nine part Y, lying south of Al Laith Road with the Fifth Ring Road crossing it. New villas and retail complexes stand on mostly open ground at the foot of Jabal Aghzul, but much of the land is still vacant and building is ongoing. Wadi Uranah and its tributaries cross the zone and low lying ground holds water after rain, so termites can migrate easily from open soil to newly built houses during construction.

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

Why they keep coming back in Al Falaq Al Jadid

New villas here may become infested directly after building and before occupancy, because footings and floors offer easy entry from the exposed ground. The method is set out in full on the full Termite control page.

The first reason

Open ground holds natural termite colonies nearby

Much of Al Falaq Al Jadid is still open land, and that land contains termites living naturally below. Building directly on it may bring termites straight to the new footings.

The second reason

Wadi Uranah and tributaries bring moisture after rain

The wadi crosses the zone and low ground holds water, providing ideal termite conditions and easing their migration from open soil to new construction.

The third reason

New construction and fresh concrete offer easy entry

New footings and floors may have small gaps initially, and termites exploit them quickly. Preventive treatment must start at first concrete pour.

Landmarks of Al Falaq Al Jadid

Work in Al Falaq Al Jadid is organised near the Fifth Ring Road and Al Laith Road, and treatment focuses on the new villas and open zones at the foot of Jabal Aghzul where building progresses.

Before treatment

The evidence that decides the treatment

Open ground and ongoing construction with pools of standing water after rain create ideal conditions for termites to move from natural soil into newly laid foundations.

Mud tubes

Mud tubes may extend from open ground directly into new footings at the first opportunity.

Discarded transparent wings on a window ledge

Shed wings

Flying termites may emerge from open ground frequently in the active season, especially after rain.

A damaged timber frame showing internal galleries

Hollow timber

Hollow timber is sparse in new villas, but exposed footings offer direct entry routes.

The water source

Water sources are from Wadi Uranah, low lying zones, seasonal rain and ongoing construction activity.

Cardboard boxes and timber stacked on a store floor

Cellulose on the floor

Cellulose on the floor is limited in new construction, but open ground around it supplies adequate food in the vicinity.

Joints and pipe entries

Joints and footing entries in new work may be sealed but open ground around them provides multiple entry routes.

How we work

1
Inspect and trace

We sound the timber and the skirting, take moisture readings, and follow the tubes to the point where they leave the soil. We also settle the species, because one that lives inside dry wood is not treated like one that lives in the ground.
2
Treat the soil around the building

A narrow trench at the footing and injection at regular spacing, so the treated band runs continuous with no gap to walk around.
3
Drill the joints, inject the timber

Small holes at spacing along the slab joints, the wall bases and the pipe entries, direct injection into the galleries inside the affected timber, then the holes are closed and made good.
4
Bait stations and monitoring

Stations in the soil carrying a slow-acting material the workers pass through the colony by mouth-to-mouth feeding, and we come back to read them, because an empty tube on a wall proves nothing on its own.

What termite control includes

A traced, recorded inspection

Sounding, moisture readings, tubes traced back to the soil, and the species settled before anything is applied.
A treated band at the perimeter

Trenching and injection at the footing, spaced so the band is continuous rather than a set of patches.
Joints and service penetrations

Slab joints, pipe entries and floor drains, which are the ways up through the concrete.
Bait stations in the soil

A slow material carried back through the colony by feeding exchange, rather than stopping the workers at the wall.
Aftercare instructions

What not to dig or water near the treated band, what to keep off the walls, and the ventilation time we set for your case.
Scheduled monitoring visits

Reading the stations, sounding the same timber again, and treating any new activity.

What is different about South Makkah Sub-Municipality

South Makkah sub municipality is the belt of Crown Prince schemes south of Al Ukayshiyah, along the Al Laith road and the extension of Ibrahim Al Khalil Road to the Fifth Ring Road and the Non Muslims bypass. Most of it is still bare: granted plots awaiting houses, new villas standing alone, open building sites and unfinished paving and drainage. Wadi Uranah and its tributaries cross the low ground and hold water after rain, hills close it in, and rodents, reptiles and scorpions shelter in stacked materials and foundation pits before the neighbourhoods fill up.

Questions about this district

Is new construction on open land more exposed to termite infestation?

Yes, open ground may hold natural termite colonies. Building directly on it may bring termites straight to the new footings.

Does Wadi Uranah add to the moisture problems in Al Falaq Al Jadid?

Yes, the wadi crosses the zone and low lying ground holds water. Building beside the wadi faces constant moisture exposure.

Is treating new footings before full construction better or after?

Before full building is far better, because the footing is exposed and treatment is easy. After completion the chance may be lost.

Could the Fifth Ring Road carry termites between sides beneath the tarmac?

The road itself may contain tubes, but distance and separation may limit spread between its two sides.

Do Jabal Aghzul and the surrounding terrain affect termite concentration in this zone?

The hill and terrain affect water flow and moisture. Low lying ground around the hill may be damper.

Should we treat the open ground before building or avoid the area?

Preventive ground treatment before building provides years of protection. Avoidance may not be an option if the plot is assigned.

How much does termite control in Al Falaq 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 Falaq Al Jadid.
