Scorpion control in Al Aziziyah Makkah

Al Aziziyah lies six kilometres from the Haram on the pilgrims' route towards Mina, once farmland now lined with hotel towers, shops, markets and pilgrim lodgings. King Abdulaziz Road and Al Masjid Al Haram Road cut through it, and scorpions here arrive from the open ground and green spaces around the hotels, and from gaps in hotel and warehouse foundations. The district is busiest in Ramadan and Hajj, quieter in between, and the open spaces mean scorpions have unrestricted pathways in and out.

Why they keep coming back in Al Aziziyah

Open spaces and wide main roads provide clear pathways for scorpions, and congestion peaks during Hajj and Ramadan when foot traffic is heavy and scorpion activity increases with the food supply. The method is set out in full on how we approach Scorpion control.

The first reason

Open exposed ground and hotel garden spaces

Al Aziziyah sits on land that was once open, and hotels and shops now surround open green spaces. This provides scorpions with an open habitat where they find insects and moisture. Gardens around hotels offer nightly shelter. Open ground means no enclosed perimeter to defend.

The second reason

Tall hotel towers and deep foundation gaps

Tall hotel towers on King Abdulaziz Road contain deep wide gaps in their massive foundations. Scorpions find safe shelter in the depths of foundations and in the voids between floors. Large buildings mean large voids.

The third reason

Seasonal traffic peaks and pilgrim food waste

Seasonal movement peaks in Ramadan and Hajj deliver abundant food from waste and insects. Scorpions arrive from open spaces at night when hotels are crowded and food is plentiful, moving without obstruction through the gaps and gardens.

Al Aziziyah on the map

Al Aziziyah sits about 2.5 km from Al Sanabel and about 3 km from Al Mursalat.

Before treatment

What we check outside before we go in

Open ground and gardens and green spaces around hotels provide an open habitat where scorpions find insects and moisture, and seasonal congestion during Hajj and Ramadan delivers abundant food and distraction.

Wall joints and boundary walls

Gaps in the tall hotel tower foundations provide deep corridors for scorpions from open ground into lower floors and basements.

Blocks and stones stacked in the corner of a yard

Rubble and stacked block

Piles of stone and rubble from new hotel construction offer shelter for scorpions among the open spaces.

Palm fronds and garden litter

Tree leaves and garden debris provide moisture and food for insects that scorpions hunt.

Gaps beneath main hotel and shop doors offer easy scorpion entry at night from the open spaces and gardens.

Irrigation and damp soil

Irrigation systems in gardens and green spaces around hotels deliver continuous moisture that attracts scorpions.

Hotel and shop night lighting attracts insects, and scorpions arrive from open spaces and gardens following the insect food sources.

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.

The character of Al Aziziyah

Commercial area: offices, showrooms and small stores

Commercial zones in Al Aziziyah mean scorpions inhabit a mixed environment: open ground, gardens, tall hotel towers, markets and warehouses.

Questions about this district

Do the open green spaces around hotels shelter scorpions?

Yes, gardens and open green areas provide scorpion habitat. Continuous irrigation, insects and tree shade provide everything scorpions need.

Do the tall hotel towers contain deep foundation gaps?

Yes, large towers have deep wide foundations and gaps between floors. Scorpions find safe shelter in the depths of these foundations.

Does seasonal traffic increase the scorpion problem?

Yes, greatly. Seasonal traffic provides abundant food from waste and insects, and the crowds make scorpion entry easier without notice.

Do warehouses and commercial shops provide scorpion habitat?

Yes, warehouses and shops provide food and enclosed conditions. Gaps between goods stacks and walls offer abundant shelter.

How often should Al Aziziyah be treated in a year?

Al Aziziyah is a busy commercial zone needing moderate frequency. But heavy seasons like Ramadan and Hajj demand stronger preventive treatment.

Does proximity to the bus station and coach park affect scorpion spread?

Yes, Mahbas Al Jinn bus station provides open ground with abundant waste. This attracts insects and scorpions from the surrounding areas.

How much does scorpion control in Al Aziziyah 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 Aziziyah.
