The pigeon problem on rooftops and AC units
Pigeons gather on rooftops, AC units, window ledges and signboards. Their droppings are acidic and build up quickly, damaging paintwork, metal surfaces and air conditioning units. Nests block roof drains and attract insects such as mites, and droppings can carry fungi and bacteria that affect residents' health.
Hotels and commercial and residential buildings in Makkah, Madinah, Jeddah and Riyadh suffer from this problem in particular, because facades and AC units provide ideal places to settle and nest.
Humane pigeon deterrent solutions
We rely on mechanical solutions that stop birds landing and settling without harming them. The main ones are bird netting that closes off openings and the spaces between AC units and walls, and deterrent spikes fitted on ledges and parapets so pigeons cannot stand on them.
Before installation we clean out accumulated nests and droppings and disinfect the area, because pigeons return to familiar spots if traces remain. We choose materials and colours that suit the building's facade so its appearance is not affected.
Snake, scorpion and gecko control
In rest houses and villas with gardens and yards, and in areas near open land, scorpions and snakes may appear, especially in the hot months. Scorpions hide under stones, wood and in cracks, and enter homes looking for cooler spots and the insects they feed on.
We start by inspecting the outside to locate likely hiding places such as cracks in boundary walls, piles of stones and debris, and dense plants. We treat these areas with approved products and also treat the insects that scorpions and geckos feed on, because available food attracts them. We recommend sealing gaps under doors and around service pipes.
If a snake is inside the house, do not try to catch it. Keep children away and contact the relevant authorities or a specialist team to handle it safely.
Our services for hotels, compounds and rest houses
We work with hotels, commercial buildings and residential compounds on permanent pigeon solutions. We survey facades, rooftops and AC units, then provide a proposal showing the areas that need netting or spikes and the recommended materials. Work is carried out with access and safety equipment suitable for high-rise buildings.
For rest houses and villas we offer a seasonal program against scorpions and insects in the hot months, covering boundary walls, gardens, service rooms and outdoor stores, with a follow-up visit. After every visit you receive a report of the work done and the recommendations to keep the result.
Tips to protect your home and rest house
Clean rooftops regularly and do not leave food scraps or grain that attract birds. Move piles of stones, wood and debris away from the walls of the house, and trim plants growing against boundary walls. Fit sweeps under external doors and seal cracks in walls and fences.
At rest houses, light pathways and gardens at night, and check shoes and clothes left outside before using them, because scorpions may hide inside.
Frequently asked questions
Does pigeon netting affect the look of the building?
We use fine netting in colours that suit the facade, installed neatly so it is barely visible from a distance.
How long do pigeon deterrents last?
Netting and spikes made from UV- and heat-resistant materials last for many years when installed correctly. We recommend checking them periodically for damage or new gaps.
When is the best time for scorpion control?
Before and at the start of summer, because scorpion activity rises with temperature. Early treatment combined with sealing gaps reduces sightings throughout the season.
