Warehouses and factories in Al Sarawat Jeddah

Al Sarawat is an industrial district in far south Jeddah near Al Khumrah, home to massive warehouses, large workshops and wide loading yards. Warehouses here store raw materials, semi finished goods and mixed finished products, and pest pressure is high because the industrial zone generates refuse, moisture and food waste from workshops and canteens that feed rodent colonies that move freely through the broad open spaces.

A follow-up visit

We return after the first treatment, because what survives it does not show on the day.

Why they keep coming back in Al Sarawat

Warehouses here are enormous and refuse accumulates in corners and gaps, the ground is uneven and rodent colonies shelter in spaces beneath the slab and in the fields nearby. The method is set out in full on what Warehouses and factories involves.

The first reason

Large warehouses and wide open spaces provide rodent shelter and highways

Al Sarawat warehouses are vast with uneven floors containing gaps beneath. Rodents enter from nearby fields and shelter in these spaces, corners and pipe runs.

The second reason

The adjacent industrial city runs workshops, canteens and produces continuous waste

Industrial workshops and factory canteens beside Al Sarawat provide food for rodents and cockroaches. Refuse accumulates in streets, corners and nearby warehouses.

The third reason

Damp ground and nearby fields provide breeding habitat for rodent colonies

Open fields and damp ground around the warehouse provide rodent breeding habitat. Rats move between fields and warehouse easily because there are no barriers between them.

Before treatment

What the first walk through the building reads

A large industrial zone stretching between the Industrial City to the north and the southern corniche to the west, with massive warehouses built to civil defence standards, scattered homes and wide open fields.

The shutter line

The goods-in door is massive and wide for heavy lorries, and the industrial city is very close with lorries moving between nearby workshops.

What comes in on the pallet

Stock arrives from manufacturing workshops and other warehouses, mixed and stacked rapidly at the receipt platform.

An aisle between storage racking on a concrete floor

The strip along the wall

Racking is very tall and aisles are wide, with large gaps beneath that provide rodent shelter.

Stacked sacks of stored product inside a warehouse

Spillage under the racking

Spillage accumulates in corners and gaps because the ground is uneven and cleaning is difficult.

The roof and the openings above

The ceiling is high and upper openings are numerous for industrial ventilation, providing entry for rodents and birds.

Cartons that have been sitting on a rack

Stock that does not move

Stock is stacked rapidly and the warehouse is constantly in motion, so slow stock exists but turnover is fast.

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 Sarawat

Industrial area: workshops, warehouses and loading yards

An industrial area means massive warehouses, workshops and broad loading yards. Wide open spaces, uneven floors and proximity to workshops and canteens create ideal conditions for rodent colonies that find food and shelter and move freely.

Questions about this district

Do the massive warehouses in Al Sarawat need different treatment approaches?

Yes, large warehouses need extended treatment and trap reading at many points. The scale and wide open spaces require a different control strategy.

How often are traps read in a massive industrial warehouse like this?

We read traps weekly initially, focusing on multiple points throughout the warehouse. Large warehouses may need permanent weekly reading.

Is the adjacent industrial city a continuous source of pest pressure?

Yes, the workshops and canteens provide food and waste provides breeding habitat. Pressure from the industrial city is continuous all year.

Do the open fields around the warehouse attract rodent colonies?

Absolutely, open fields provide breeding habitat for rats and rodents. We focus on gaps around the warehouse and boundaries with the fields.

Is interior warehouse treatment alone sufficient or do we need exterior treatment?

Interior treatment is essential but exterior treatment around the warehouse and adjacent fields is also vital for rodent control.

The ground is uneven and gaps are numerous. How do we maintain control?

We inspect gaps and corners carefully and place traps at every possible entry point. We focus on pipes and gaps beneath the concrete slab.

How much does warehouses and factories in Al Sarawat 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 Sarawat.
