Scorpion control in Al Buhayrat Makkah
Al Buhayrat is a north western extension near At Tanim, set amongst plots still under construction and modern mixed-use buildings. Here the scorpion arrives from open building sites and incomplete foundations around the district, and mixed buildings with their ground floor shops give it a direct path to the flats above.

Targeted, not broadcast
Product goes into cracks and runways, never sprayed across open surfaces.
-
Told before we start
What we will use, where it goes, and what to cover or move before we arrive.
-
A follow-up visit
We return after the first treatment, because what survives it does not show on the day.

Homes and businesses
Apartments and villas, and kitchens and stores that need a record of each visit.
Why they keep coming back in Al Buhayrat
Land around Al Buhayrat remains under active construction, open building sites and damp foundations provide shelters near at hand before scorpions enter neighbouring buildings. The method is set out in full on Scorpion control in detail.
Building sites and open foundations around the district
The scheme is still building itself, open land and active construction provide nearby harbourage. The scorpion arrives from the sites and shelters under rubble before entering the buildings.
Modern buildings and shops at ground level
Mixed buildings are recently built, yet ground floor shops are open and a source of insects. Treating only the flat is not enough without treating the shop and shared corridors.
New networks and gaps around the foundations
Modern foundations may contain gaps between concrete panels, and the spaces provide a route for the scorpion. Underground moisture and irrigation around buildings attract insects.
The character of Al Buhayrat
Mixed district: shops at street level with homes above them
A modern mixed district means the scorpion arrives from neighbouring building sites and open land, entering via ground floor shops and shared corridors, so treatment focuses on the external face, the shop and corridors, not the flat alone.
What we check outside before we go in
The district is crossed by Umm Al Mumineen Road and spreads across land still under construction. Modern buildings and villas mix, and the northern Haram boundary runs past its edge.
Wall joints and boundary walls
Wall joints in modern buildings may exist if walls are present, and treatment focuses on the external building perimeter and gaps around the foundations.
Rubble and stacked block
Rubble and block from neighbouring sites may pile around buildings, and clearing removes scorpion harbourage.
Palm fronds and garden litter
New grass and plants in the district may be insect sources, and clearing with treatment together breaks the food chain.
The gap under the door
The gap under the flat door in a modern building may be narrow but exists, and treating and sealing it stops scorpion entry.
Irrigation and damp soil
Irrigation around modern buildings and ground moisture attract insects, and treatment stops insects entering the flat.
The light by the door
Light at the building entrance draws insects, and treating around the light source stops the scorpion before it enters.
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 ongoing building work around Al Buhayrat increase scorpion appearances?
Yes, open sites and incomplete foundations provide nearby shelters. Early treatment and sealing gaps around the flat stop scorpions entering from adjacent land.
Is one treatment enough for a new building in Al Buhayrat?
First treatment provides protection, but repeated treatment matters because building work around the district continuously brings new insects.
Is the shop below my new flat the source of insects and scorpions?
A new shop may look clean but it is open to insects. Coordinated treatment of flat and shop stops insects reaching the flat.
Does moisture under the ground in modern foundations attract scorpions?
Moisture attracts insects, and the scorpion follows them. Treatment focuses on preventing insects entering the flat from outside.
Is treating my flat alone enough if the neighbouring new flat is untreated?
An untreated neighbouring flat may be a source. Sealing all gaps between flats and coordinated treatment is better.
Do gaps between concrete panels in new foundations provide scorpion entry?
Yes, fine gaps between concrete panels provide a scorpion route. Sealing gaps where pipes enter the flat stops entry.
How much does scorpion control in Al Buhayrat 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 Buhayrat.
