Scorpion control in Al Asalah Jeddah

Al Asalah is a small recently established district in far north Jeddah between Madinah Road and the Haramain expressway near King Abdullah Sports City. Wadi Obhur runs through it, vacant plots break up the villas and apartment blocks, and building is still underway with unpaved streets and incomplete drainage everywhere. Treatment strategy must be tailored to each villa and the gaps between them.

Why they keep coming back in Al Asalah

Scorpions use the wadi as a natural corridor and move from new villas into vacant plots at night, where they hide in building rubble until the next evening. The method is set out in full on Scorpion control in detail.

The first reason

The wadi and the vacant plots

Wadi Obhur flows naturally through the district and offers scorpions a safe passage. Vacant land and projects under construction provide day shelters, and the scorpions commute between the wadi and the homes each night.

The second reason

Unpaved roads and ongoing building

Streets that are not yet surfaced and gaps in the drainage system. This means exposed foundations and natural underground tunnels that scorpions use to navigate.

The third reason

Nearness to King Abdullah Sports City

The sports city's irrigated green spaces provide water and food. Scorpions move from these large gardens into the surrounding villas, especially when night falls.

Al Asalah sits about 5.5 km from South Obhur and about 11 km from Al Basatin.

Before treatment

What we check outside before we go in

The district sits between two main roads and is split by a wadi, construction is ongoing throughout, some streets are still unpaved and the drainage network is incomplete.

Wall joints and boundary walls

Outer walls and boundary walls of new villas need full treatment. Deep joints between villas offer scorpion shelter.

Blocks and stones stacked in the corner of a yard

Rubble and stacked block

Building rubble and loose stone around new villas and in vacant plots provide direct shelter before residents move in.

Palm fronds and garden litter

New gardens and young plants feed the small insects that draw scorpions. Watering close to the foundation keeps dampness high.

The space between an exterior door and its threshold

The gap under the door

Gaps under doors and windows in new villas may be wide because construction is incomplete. Sealing or reducing these gaps is part of the treatment plan.

Irrigation and damp soil

Damp soil around the foundations offers temporary shelter for scorpions. Watering and drainage issues make the problem worse in this new district.

The light by the door

Weak street lighting in new areas and incomplete gardens provides scorpions with cover during the night hours.

How we work

1
Night survey and perimeter inspection

We walk the perimeter after dark with an ultraviolet lamp, which makes a scorpion show up against wall and soil, and we record the harbourage, the ways in and how much prey is present.
2
Treat the harbourage and the building edge

Dust into the wall joints and the dry voids, and a targeted band tight against the foundation and around openings, because the material holds longer on a porous surface than on tile.
3
Close the ways in and remove the prey

A sweep under the doors, sealing where air-conditioning and drain pipes pass through, mesh over openings, and treatment of the cockroaches and insects it feeds on, so the reason to come in goes with them.
4
The follow-up visit

A scorpion can sit in its harbourage for weeks without moving, so the first pass does not always reach it. We come back to refresh the perimeter band and check what has appeared since.

What scorpion control includes

A night survey with an ultraviolet lamp

A walk of the perimeter after dark that fixes the harbourage and the entry routes before anything is applied.
Targeted perimeter and joint treatment

A band against the foundation, plus wall joints and cracks, never open floors or where children play.
Sealing openings and pipe entries

Drain openings, the points where air-conditioning pipes pass through, and mesh on shafts, which are the routes actually used.
Treating what it feeds on

Placed bait for cockroaches at entrances and service areas, because cutting the food supply reduces visits more than repeating a spray.
Aftercare instructions

What to lift out of the yard, where to move the outside light, and the ventilation time for your situation, which we give you on site.
A scheduled follow-up

A set date after the first treatment, a refreshed perimeter band and a check of anything new around it.

Questions about this district

Does the wadi make stopping scorpions impossible?

The wadi exists but treatment focuses on building entrances and walls, not the wadi itself. We seal the ways into the villa and treat all the joints.

Is treating one villa enough or do I need the whole area treated?

Treating one villa stops scorpions entering it. Neighbours would need separate treatment for their own homes.

Does ongoing building increase scorpion problems?

Yes, excavations, exposed foundations and rubble provide temporary shelter. Treating during construction stops them moving into the nearby homes.

When is the best time to treat a new villa here?

Best practice is to treat before you move in or immediately after, and repeat during the surrounding construction period.

Do unpaved roads make scorpion movement worse?

Unpaved roads offer damp soil and daytime shelter. Scorpions use them as safe corridors.

Do I need treatment of the garden and outer courtyards as well?

Yes, the garden and outer spaces are part of the treatment. We focus on boundaries and walls and the joints between properties.

How much does scorpion control in Al Asalah 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 Asalah.
