Why they keep coming back in Al Judairiyah Al Jadid

Deep foundation digging in Al Judairiyah Al Jadid raises dust swiftly, and termites appear in some new villas within weeks of primary excavation ending, suggesting deep soil was thoroughly disturbed. The method is set out in full on our Termite control service.

The first reason

Excavation stirs termites from ancient layers

Villa foundations in Al Judairiyah Al Jadid are dug very deep into soil never before touched. Excavation cuts through extremely old soil layers where termite colonies have lain dormant for years. This disturbance wakes them, and the exposed colonies scatter seeking new nests closer to moisture and food in the new villas.

The second reason

Vast vacant plots are an endless termite source

Al Judairiyah Al Jadid is ringed by enormous undeveloped plots that may not be built for years. This land harbours abundant termites from ancient original soil, and the colonies there do not attack new villas unless moisture and food become available. Vacant plots do not need treating first, but new villas directly beside them require very strong foundation treatment.

The third reason

Wadi Uranah holds water and spreads risk

Wadi Uranah runs through the depressions in Al Judairiyah Al Jadid and retains water after rain. This water persists along the wadi length and draws termites from deep soil towards buildings. Villas standing close to the wadi face higher exposure because termites move towards moisture and vegetation in new homes.

The character of Al Judairiyah Al Jadid

New development: ongoing construction and vacant plots between the homes

New development in Al Judairiyah Al Jadid means your villa is among the first or only buildings in blank land, and every termite in the soil will focus on it.

Before treatment

The evidence that decides the treatment

Entirely new residential plots surrounded by vast undeveloped land never built before, very deep foundation excavation into untouched soil, and a wadi rim encircling depressions that hold water for weeks after rain.

Mud tubes

Mud tubes appear rapidly on foundations and exterior walls of new villas, particularly those close to vacant plots and depressions.

Discarded transparent wings on a window ledge

Shed wings

Shed wings fall inside new villas in spring, especially in rooms adjacent to foundations and exterior ground level areas.

A damaged timber frame showing internal galleries

Hollow timber

Hollow timber in floors, windows and exterior doors of new villas can occur quickly if termites penetrate treated foundations.

A dark damp patch below a pipe at a wall base

The water source

The main moisture source is Wadi Uranah and the water that depressions hold after rain, which draws termites from deep soil.

Cardboard boxes and timber stacked on a store floor

Cellulose on the floor

Cellulose on ground touching wadi moisture after rain deteriorates quickly, and termites attack it from foundations and below exterior walls.

A concrete joint and a pipe passing through a floor slab

Joints and pipe entries

Boundaries between foundations and surrounding soil and the points where pipes from wells and utilities enter are the main termite routes into villas.

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

Our new villa in Al Judairiyah is surrounded by undeveloped plots: is treating only the villa sufficient?

It is not entirely sufficient. Undeveloped land surrounding the villa harbours ancient termites in the soil, and colonies may migrate from these plots towards your villa seeking moisture. Very strong foundation treatment is essential, and treating the plots directly adjacent to the villa perimeter significantly reduces risk quickly.

Foundation digging at neighbouring villa sites is ongoing: could this move termites to our villa?

Yes. Neighbouring excavation wakes dormant soil termites and disturbs established colonies. Unsettled termites move seeking new shelter, and your new villa is the nearest shelter. Treating your villa foundation urgently is essential if building work has begun at neighbouring plots.

Our new villa is the first built in this undeveloped stretch of Al Judairiyah: should we treat now?

Yes, treat immediately after primary foundation work finishes. Being the first building in blank land means every termite in the soil will focus on your villa. Excavation has woken the colonies, and immediate treatment before new nests establish around your foundation is essential.

Wadi Uranah cuts across the low ground beside us: do we need seasonal treatment after rain?

Yes. After rain the wadi and depressions fill, and termites move from deep soil towards villas seeking dry shelter and food. Pre rain treatment protects, and post rain inspection confirms no new colonies have entered from the wadi.

Jabal Al Raqid rises beside us and the land around the hill sits vacant: is this a risk?

The hill itself is not a direct threat, but land around it harbours old termites. The hill drains water after rain into the depressions and wadi, and termites move with it. Your villa beside the hill and vacant plots needs very strong foundation and surrounding soil treatment.

How many inspections must our new villa in Al Judairiyah need in the first occupancy year?

Inspect every six weeks in year one. The villa stands in completely new ground and excavation has stirred numerous colonies, and vacant plots and the wadi around it are continuous termite sources. Regular inspection catches new termites before they establish inside.

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