Termite control in Al Shamiyah Al Jadid Makkah

Al Shamiyah Al Jadid is Crown Prince scheme one on the Al Laith road, the westernmost of Makkah's southern developments out by the Fifth Ring Road and the Haram boundary marker. New villas and apartment buildings stand on wide streets with a planned commercial and leisure centre and gardens. The challenge is that construction is ongoing and vacant plots between homes are numerous, and termites may already be living in these unbuilt spaces and untreated ground.

Why they keep coming back in Al Shamiyah Al Jadid

Ongoing construction and vacant plots provide termite habitat. The soil turned up by digging contains old timber and organic matter from depth. Rainwater collects in vacant ground and the turned soil stays damp. The method is set out in full on our Termite control service.

The first reason

Vacant plots and construction sites exist between villas and apartments

Al Shamiyah Al Jadid is a modern scheme but building will continue for years. Vacant plots between villas provide ideal termite habitat. Colonies may establish in bare ground and crawl toward neighbouring villas as construction progresses around them.

The second reason

Excavated soil brought to surface contains old timber and organics

When the scheme was laid out and footings were dug, the earth was turned. This soil contains old timber and organic matter from beneath the surface. Termites may already be present in these turned materials.

The third reason

Modern villas and apartments may sit very close to vacant plots

The villas and apartments were built quickly and some sit at short distance from vacant ground. Termites may migrate from the vacant plot toward the villa through the soil before construction fills the adjoining space.

Before treatment

The evidence that decides the treatment

Al Shamiyah Al Jadid lies on the Al Laith road and Al Khawajat Road at the Fifth Ring Road. An orderly new scheme with modern villas and apartments, but building is still underway and vacant land remains. The soil has been turned and disturbed by excavation.

Mud tubes

Mud tubes in Al Shamiyah Al Jadid may start in excavated soil or vacant plots. Inspection requires understanding the dynamic state of the scheme.

Shed wings

Shed wings may appear in new villas built beside vacant plots. Colonies in the vacant ground climb quickly into the building.

Hollow timber

Hollow timber may not show quickly in new construction, but will if vacant ground remains long.

The water source

The water source is seasonal rain and damp soil from digging and building. Vacant plots hold water.

Cardboard boxes and timber stacked on a store floor

Cellulose on the floor

Cellulose on the floor may be in footings and the excavated soil that contains old timber. New gardens may hold buried roots and wood.

Joints and pipe entries

Joints and pipe entries in modern villas are better sealed than old buildings, but adjoining vacant plots may have no protection.

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 Shamiyah Al Jadid

New development: ongoing construction and vacant plots between the homes

Al Shamiyah Al Jadid is a new development, an orderly scheme but with ongoing construction and vacant plots remaining, meaning colonies may establish in unused soil and excavated material and spread easily to new villas. Termite protection in a new scheme differs fundamentally from old districts.

Questions about this district

Are the modern villas in Al Shamiyah Al Jadid protected from termites?

No, because vacant plots and ongoing construction around them provide habitat. Termites can reach the villas from the vacant ground easily.

Should vacant plots be treated before construction of the neighbouring villa?

Yes, if the vacant plot adjoins an occupied villa. Treating the vacant ground may stop termite migration.

Does excavated soil brought to the surface already contain termites?

It may. Termites may be present deep in the soil already. Digging brings that soil to the surface.

Does construction on the neighbouring street affect infestation risk?

Yes. Worker movement, digging and materials may transport termites. Moved earth may carry whole colonies.

Why might a new scheme be easier to treat than an old one?

Because footings are modern and construction is strong. But vacant plots and ongoing building make treatment complicated.

How often must a new development be monitored?

At least every three months, because vacant plots can host new colonies. Ongoing building constantly changes the environment.

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