Termite control in Al Hamdaniyah Jeddah

Al Hamdaniyah is a dense residential spread east of King Abdulaziz Airport, with apartment buildings, villas and large hypermarkets on Al Hamdaniyah Street, with Al Haramain Road on its western edge. The district is mixed, with shops on the ground floors and residential flats and blocks above them, and termites enter through shared foundations and common openings.

Why they keep coming back in Al Hamdaniyah

High residential density and clustered shops provide constant moisture from daily drainage and commercial activity. The method is set out in full on how we approach Termite control.

The first reason

Shops and flats on damp shared foundations

Al Hamdaniyah is a mixed district with ground floor shops and clinics. Shared foundations provide direct routes for termites from the soil to shops and upper flats. Moisture from daily drainage and high groundwater increase infection risk significantly.

The second reason

Planted areas and landscaping in the district

Al Hamdaniyah has green spaces and grass verges between buildings. These areas provide extra moisture and attract rodents and insects. We focus on soil treatment around foundations surrounded by landscaping.

The third reason

Major hypermarkets and heavy drainage

Hypermarkets in Al Hamdaniyah on Al Masurah Street produce heavy sewage from shops and restaurants. Drainage water seeps around footings and saturates soil. Treatment here needs special care because continuous drainage may weaken the application.

The character of Al Hamdaniyah

Mixed district: shops at street level with homes above them

Mixed district means shared foundations link termites directly from damp soil to shops and flats. Moisture from shops, drainage and high groundwater significantly increase risk.

Before treatment

The evidence that decides the treatment

Al Hamdaniyah sits on Al Hamdaniyah Street and Al Masurah Street near the airport, with high groundwater due to the terrain and drainage from the expressway.

Mud tubes

Mud tubes begin in damp soil around shared foundations and climb from shops to upper flats quickly.

Shed wings

Shed wings appear on furniture and wooden cabinets in both shops and flats because of shared damp footings.

Hollow timber

Hollow timber begins in wooden floors and cabinets in shops before climbing to the flats.

The water source

The water source is drainage from shops and hypermarkets, high groundwater and Al Haramain Road.

Cardboard boxes and timber stacked on a store floor

Cellulose on the floor

Cellulose on the floor includes wooden floors, doors and cabinets in shops on damp shared foundations.

Joints and pipe entries

Joints and pipe entries between shops and flats above are the main climbing routes, so we treat every opening carefully with a chemical barrier.

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.

Questions about this district

Do glass or metal shop floors instead of timber protect against termites?

Metal and glass floors protect from direct timber eating, but termites climb walls and shared foundations into flats above. Treatment focuses on the foundation and soil.

Do we treat the entire district at once or each building separately?

We treat the soil around the district on main routes and apply individual treatment beneath each building. Residential density requires an integrated approach.

Do major supermarkets create more termite risk than residential flats?

Yes, hypermarkets provide abundant food and high moisture. Food shops and restaurants attract termites and other insects.

Does proximity to Al Haramain Road affect the treatment plan?

Al Haramain Road raises groundwater around Al Hamdaniyah. We focus on deep treatment on the western edge of the district.

Are planted areas in the district safe or do they attract termites?

Green areas provide moisture and insect food. We treat surrounding soil regularly and recommend reduced watering.

How often must Al Hamdaniyah be retreated given the shops and moisture?

Follow up every three months for commercial shops and every six months for residential flats. Heavy drainage may need additional treatment in summer.

How much does termite control in Al Hamdaniyah 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 Hamdaniyah.
