Warehouses and factories in Al Mansour Makkah

Al Mansour is an old commercial district in Makkah strung along Prince Mansour Street, lined with shops, popular markets and ground floor premises topped by ageing apartment blocks. The street stretches from Al Hajoun Road to Ibrahim Al Khalil Street and the middle ring road. Warehouses here are small, tucked beneath residential flats and surrounded by shops, restaurants and cafes, and pest pressure is continuous from the high commercial and residential density.

Why they keep coming back in Al Mansour

Warehouses here are small and confined beneath dense housing, and the shared pipes are very old with visible water leaks. The method is set out in full on Warehouses and factories in detail.

The first reason

Old shared pipes are a repeated source of infestation from the flats above

Damp, very old pipes between the flats and warehouse provide a rapid route for cockroaches. If the flat above is infested, the warehouse will be reinfected repeatedly.

The second reason

The old district and failing buildings provide rodent shelter

The very old buildings in Al Mansour have wide cracks and failing foundations. Rodents move easily between buildings through pipes and gaps.

The third reason

Shops and restaurants nearby provide continuous food supply

Prince Mansour Street is crowded with shops, restaurants and cafes, food waste accumulates in streets and corners. Warehouses here are very close to these food sources.

Before treatment

What the first walk through the building reads

An old district along Prince Mansour Street with shops at street level and ageing residential blocks directly above, popular markets, narrow alleys and the Sheikh Ibn Hassan Mosque at its heart.

The shutter line

The goods-in door sits on busy Prince Mansour Street, with lorries pulling in between parked shop vehicles and restaurant deliveries.

What comes in on the pallet

Stock arrives from nearby popular markets and shops, most collected from the street level.

An aisle between storage racking on a concrete floor

The strip along the wall

Racking stands in very confined space directly beneath the flats, walls are damp from old leaking pipes.

Stacked sacks of stored product inside a warehouse

Spillage under the racking

Spillage collects in corners and attracts ants and cockroaches, the district is warm and pipes leak constantly.

The ceiling is very low and openings sit directly beneath the flats, water drips down.

Slow moving stock remains for long periods because shops are small and stock everything.

How we work

1
Survey the building and locate the source

We walk from the goods-in door through the racking, the production areas and the outside wall line, and establish whether the pressure is stored product pests inside the goods, rodents from the perimeter or flying insects from waste and doorways, because each of those is a different programme.
2
Pheromone traps and numbered points

Species-specific pheromone traps through the storage areas, and monitoring points on the external ring and along the internal walls, numbered on the racking plan. A trap treats nothing, it tells us which aisle the numbers are climbing in.
3
Targeted treatment and isolating the consignment

Spillage is lifted first, then empty racking, wall and floor junctions and voids are treated, and nothing is placed over open stock or a running line. A consignment showing activity is isolated where it stands rather than carried through the building.
4
Sealing, then the scheduled visits

We close door gaps, openings and pipe entries, then come back on an agreed schedule: the same traps and points are read each time, and a report goes over what was found, what was treated and what the building still needs closed.

What warehouse pest control includes

Site survey and racking plan

A walk from the goods-in door to the last aisle, and a plan with every monitoring position numbered before anything is installed.
Pheromone traps and numbered points

Species-specific traps through the storage areas and points along the perimeter line, read and logged on every visit.
Targeted treatment of racking and junctions

On empty racking, wall and floor junctions and voids, never over open stock or a running line.
Drains, waste and the perimeter

Floor gullies, the container area and the outside wall line, because that is the source which renews itself.
Proofing and building findings

Shutter gaps, brush seals and mesh over openings, with a list of what the site needs to repair.
Scheduled visits and a report each time

Agreed dates set by the pressure on the site, the same traps read again, and a report that records every visit.

The character of Al Mansour

Commercial area: offices, showrooms and small stores

A commercial district means shops at ground level with residential flats directly above. The shared pipes between floors are very old and leak constantly, so infestation comes directly from the flats above and reinfection is rapid.

Questions about this district

Are the residential flats above the warehouse a continuous infestation source?

Absolutely yes, shared pipes between the flats and warehouse are a repeated cause. If the flat above is infested, the warehouse will always be reinfected.

How often are traps read in a small old warehouse like this one?

At minimum weekly, because pressure from the flats and neighbouring shops is continuous. We may increase reading frequency depending on activity.

The building is very old and foundations are cracked. Does that matter?

Yes, greatly. Wide cracks and crumbling mortar provide rodent routes. We focus trap reading on foundations and gaps.

The street is full of shops and restaurants. What is the strategy?

We enforce strict control at entry points and openings. Traps are placed at every side passage and corner connected to the street.

Is treating the warehouse alone sufficient?

Usually not, because pressure returns from the flats and shops. We may need extended treatment of entry zones and side passages.

The warehouse is surrounded by popular markets. Is local stock always infested?

Not always, but infestation risk from markets is high. We inspect every local shipment carefully before it enters the warehouse.

How much does warehouses and factories in Al Mansour 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 Mansour.
