About Al Kakiyah
Al Kakiyah is a residential-commercial district in south Makkah, crossed by the road to Al Lith and the southern coast, named after Abdullah Al Kaki, with large produce and livestock markets and Makkah's best-known bird market. Warehouses and shops next to apartment blocks call for waterproofing and thermal insulation of wide warehouse roofs, and repair of roof insulation on older homes. District guide
What attracts pests in Al Kakiyah, and how we treat it
Al Kakiyah in south Makkah, along Al Lith Road, is mostly apartment buildings, shops and commercial buildings and warehouses and workshops, which shapes the pests to expect and how to control them. Pest problems in apartment blocks rarely stay in one flat; shared soil stacks, meter rooms and stairwells carry them, and a successful fix starts with a map of the whole building. Through the long hot summer cockroaches are active in drains and manholes, and the American cockroach usually lives in sewers, so these points are treated and their covers sealed before the inside. What we suggest in mixed districts: a regular-visit programme for food outlets, separate treatment for homes on request, and coordinated work on shared drains and bin rooms. Inspections also cover buildings near Bird Market.
Most likely pests in Al Kakiyah
| Pest | Where it hides | Suitable treatment |
|---|---|---|
| cockroaches | drains, manholes, kitchens and bathrooms | gel baits in cracks and sealed drain covers |
| bed bugs | furniture and luggage moving between units | treatment over two or more visits with hot laundering |
| ants | food residue, sugars and tile cracks | spot baits and tracing the trail to its source |
| rats and mice | stores, yards and pipe openings | secured bait stations, traps and sealing entry points |

Which pests do we usually treat in Al Kakiyah?
Given the district and its buildings, the usual suspects are cockroaches, bed bugs, ants and rats and mice. We do not spray before identifying the pest and its source, because each needs a different method: baits for cockroaches and ants, secured stations for rodents and soil treatment for termites. Near Bird Market we also plan access and working hours.
When can I go back home after spraying in Al Kakiyah, and do you cover the district?
There is no single number: the product label sets when you can return, and we note it in the report. Most kitchen bait treatments need no leaving, while wider spraying needs airing before re-entry. Makkah is served directly; the visit in Al Kakiyah is scheduled by technician availability.
