Termite control in Al Qararah Al Jadid Makkah

Al Qararah Al Jadid is a new district in southern Makkah within the Crown Prince schemes, with residential and commercial plots and buildings under construction on the southern extension of Ibrahim Al Khalil Road. The land is flat and open, with Wadi Uranah running alongside carrying water seasonally. Building is dispersed and footings reach into deep clay. Each new excavation may wake termites that lay dormant in the original ground.

Why they keep coming back in Al Qararah Al Jadid

New building uncovers termites at nearly every site, and the wide vacant land currently provides natural barriers between buildings and distant colonies. The method is set out in full on Termite control in detail.

The first reason

Original soil holds dormant termite colonies

Deep clay beneath Al Qararah Al Jadid holds dormant termite colonies. Modern building digs deep foundations and cuts through old tunnels, waking colonies. The new house becomes food for recently awakened termites.

The second reason

Dispersed building and long spacing

Long distances between plots provide natural barriers now. But disturbed soil from new digging and construction may create highways for termites. New plots next to active construction may be affected by awakened termites.

The third reason

Wadi Uranah and seasonal water

The wadi runs beside the scheme and carries water after rain. Water raises soil moisture around new houses, especially those close to the wadi channel.

Before treatment

The evidence that decides the treatment

The district sits on open plain south of the city. The ground is flat but holds deep heavy clay. Wadi Uranah runs beside it and carries water in the rainy season.

Mud tubes

Mud tubes in the original clay lie very deep and new foundation excavations encounter and cut through them.

Shed wings

Discarded wings appear after seasonal rains when moisture reaches deep soil and wakes old dormant colonies.

A damaged timber frame showing internal galleries

Hollow timber

Timber in new footings and floors is exposed to dormant colonies being woken by new excavation.

The water source

Moisture here comes from deep clay and seasonal Wadi Uranah floods.

Cardboard boxes and timber stacked on a store floor

Cellulose on the floor

Ground-contact timber in new footings is exposed because fill around it may be damp from excavation.

Joints and pipe entries

Joints and pipe entries in new footings sit close to the original damp soil layer.

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.

The character of Al Qararah Al Jadid

New development: ongoing construction and vacant plots between the homes

New building breaks virgin ground, and each excavation may wake dormant termites. Treating a new house from the start protects before infestation strikes, especially with ongoing digging nearby.

Questions about this district

Our house is new in Al Qararah and the whole district is under construction. Do we need treatment now?

Yes, strongly. Building around you is waking dormant termites. Treating the footings from the start provides protection before infestation takes hold.

The scheme is new and the ground is open vacant land. Are termites far away now?

Open land means a safe distance now, but dormant termites lie beneath in the original soil. Building will awaken them.

Wadi Uranah runs beside the house. Does it increase termite risk?

Yes. Seasonal water from the wadi raises soil moisture around the footing. Extra moisture accelerates termite activity.

Jabal Labanah is very close to the new house. Is it a source of termites?

Hills hold natural soil with termites, but not all hill termites migrate into houses. Risk increases when excavation wakes them.

How often must a new house in a newly developing scheme be inspected?

Inspect every three months initially, more often if excavation continues near your house. After year one, if none are found, inspections can be less frequent.

There is new excavation next to our house almost every month. Does it affect treatment?

New digging may cut through the treated zone. If excavation is very close we may need to retreat.

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