Termite control in Al Muntazah Jeddah

Al Muntazah is an apartment district on the eastern edge of Briman sub-municipality, low rise residential blocks let to workers with narrow internal streets, worn floors and old drainage that leaks constantly, and Wadi Al Asla on its eastern edge raises moisture, so termites move easily between apartments through shared walls and clogged sewers.

Why they keep coming back in Al Muntazah

Flats let to workers turn over quickly and remain empty between lets, maintenance is poor, so drainage and pipes stay broken for weeks without repair. The method is set out in full on the full Termite control page.

The first reason

Closely packed blocks and shared walls

Apartment buildings in Al Muntazah are packed tightly and walls and drainage are shared. Termites move easily from flat to flat through load bearing walls and partitions, and treatment must cover the whole block if infestation shows in one flat.

The second reason

Old clogged drainage and worn floors

Drainage under the floors is old and usually clogged, and leaks go on continuously but no one repairs them. Constant moisture under floors gives termites an easy route to move between flats and blocks.

The third reason

Rented flats and poor maintenance

Flats let to workers turn over fast, and letting and emptying disrupts maintenance. Raised floors may not be inspected for months, and termites colonise the voids beneath them freely.

Before treatment

The evidence that decides the treatment

An apartment district for workers on the eastern edge of Briman with worn floors and clogged old drainage, and buildings packed closely together with tight ground level passages.

Mud tubes

Mud tubes start in shared drainage under floors and climb shared walls between flats.

Shed wings

Shed wings appear in closed damp flats, especially if unoccupied.

Hollow timber

Hollow timber starts in furniture, wooden beams, doors and windows, and may be hidden under raised floors.

The water source

The water source is leaking old drainage, tank leaks and nearness to the wadi.

Cardboard boxes and timber stacked on a store floor

Cellulose on the floor

Cellulose on the floor includes wooden beams under raised floors and old wooden furniture.

Joints and pipe entries

Joints and pipe entries between flats and through shared walls are quick termite 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.

Landmarks of Al Muntazah

Al Muntazah sits on Hada Al Sham Road and near Muawiyah Al Sulami Street, and its location between these two routes means blocks are reached from both sides, with treatment planned by access and pressure from both directions.

Questions about this district

Our flat is in a block: does treatment protect us from termites in neighbouring flats?

Good treatment of your flat alone gives relative protection, but termites may return from neighbouring flats through walls or drainage. Full block treatment is better, but may need coordination with the owner and other tenants.

The drainage is very old: is chemical treatment alone enough?

Chemical treatment stops the active colony, but old drainage will bring moisture back. Lasting repair needs at least upgrading main pipes or sealing large gaps.

In Al Muntazah, does having a wadi nearby increase termite risk?

Yes, Wadi Al Asla is close and moisture rises especially after rain. Termites from the wadi may spread to nearby buildings. Early treatment and monitoring are essential.

Floors are raised and have gaps: do termites colonise them?

Yes, voids under raised floors are ideal termite habitat. These voids must be inspected carefully and treated if we find evidence.

The neighbouring flat is poorly maintained: is it a problem for us?

Yes, it may be. A poorly maintained flat may have termites and part of the colony moves to your flat through walls. We recommend strong early treatment for your flat even if the neighbouring flat is untreated.

Is termite treatment different for flats than for villas in Al Muntazah?

Yes, radically. Flats have shared walls and shared drainage, so treatment focuses on walls, partitions and drains. Villas are more isolated and treatment focuses on foundations and gardens.

How much does termite control in Al Muntazah 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 Muntazah.
