Termite control in Kawthar Makkah

Kawthar was formerly Sharai scheme four, with villas and apartment buildings on Al Qadisiyah Road outside the Haram boundary. The district sits on the edge of the Sharai zone, surrounded by hills and wadis, with Wadi Mudarraja bounding it to the east. This transitional location between settled and mountainous areas creates complex moisture conditions.

Why they keep coming back in Kawthar

In Kawthar, mixed villas and apartment blocks near Wadi Mudarraja face raised soil moisture after rain, and nearness to wadis and hill areas means termites may come from surrounding nature. The method is set out in full on what Termite control involves.

The first reason

Wadi Mudarraja bounds the district from the east and raises moisture

The wadi carries floods and moisture after rain. Buildings close to it face higher moisture, and termites find this ideal habitat. Treatment needs greater focus in buildings near the wadi.

The second reason

The transitional zone between settlement and nature shelters colonies

Kawthar sits between settled areas and hill country, and rodents and insects use these edges as routes. Termites may come from nearby hills and wadis. Treating footings and soil around buildings stops them approaching homes.

The third reason

Mixed villas, apartments and vacant land complicate treatment

Mixing villas, blocks, shops and empty plots creates diverse environment for termites. Shops provide continuous food, blocks provide moisture, villas provide valuable timber. Unified treatment across the district is better than separate treatment of each type.

Before treatment

The evidence that decides the treatment

The district lies south east of Al Sharai outside the Haram markers on Al Qadisiyah Road connecting it to southern areas. Wadi Mudarraja cuts its eastern edge and carries moisture, and the soil here is very old and may hold established colonies.

Mud tubes

Mud tubes in Kawthar show near Wadi Mudarraja and vacant land, where moisture is higher and colonies more active.

Shed wings gather in large numbers in shops and blocks, especially after the rain season.

Hollow timber

Hollow timber in villas, blocks and wooden floors advances quickly in damp areas.

The water source

The main water source is Wadi Mudarraja, seasonal rain and low ground, and improving drainage is necessary.

Cardboard boxes and timber stacked on a store floor

Cellulose on the floor

Cellulose from timber, furniture and cardboard in shops directly attracts termites.

A concrete joint and a pipe passing through a floor slab

Joints and pipe entries

Boundaries between villas, blocks and shops are numerous, each may be a passage, and regular monitoring is necessary.

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 Kawthar

In Kawthar, work spreads along Al Qadisiyah Road where villas, blocks and shops sit side by side. Mansour Faqih Mosque and Scheme Eleven Park give reference points for organizing treatment, and work needs coordination between different building types along the road.

Questions about this district

Our villa is beside Wadi Mudarraja: is the wadi a certain termite source?

The wadi carries moisture and floods, raising soil moisture. But it is not a direct termite source. Colonies may come from old soil beneath the villa first. Treating footings stops them approaching.

The district is beside hill country: do rodents and reptiles bring termites?

Rodents and reptiles do not carry termites directly, but their presence shows moisture and food are available. This attracts termites from the soil. Treating footings and soil stops them.

Do shops in Kawthar attract termites more than villas?

Yes, shops provide continuous food and waste, attracting termites faster. Flats above shops are exposed too. Unified treatment of shops, joints and flats is necessary.

The villa and block beside us: will termites in the block reach our villa through the soil?

High probability. Shared soil and close footings provide passages. Unified treatment of villa, block and soil between them is much better.

After rain, water pools in vacant land beside our villa: does this increase risk?

Yes, pooled water raises moisture around the villa. Better drainage in vacant land and treatment together reduce risk.

Scheme Eleven Park is beside the district: is it a termite source?

The park provides moisture and shelter for insects, but is not a direct source. But park moisture may seep into neighbouring soil. Treatment and monitoring stop transfer.

How much does termite control in Kawthar 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 Kawthar.
