Scorpion control in Al Fayha Makkah

Al Fayha is a new expansion zone in north west Makkah on the Al Fayha Road between As Salamah and Al Hamra, with Al Fayha Park and the Al Fayha walkway that draw visitors and families. The district lies on the northern Haram boundary at Umm Al Mumineen Road and still holds development schemes and wide vacant plots. Scorpions migrate from this open land towards the new villas and blocks.

Why they keep coming back in Al Fayha

New villas and blocks in Al Fayha see high activity because the district remains open on all sides except the north. The method is set out in full on Scorpion control in detail.

The first reason

The Haram boundary protects only one side

The northern Haram boundary at Umm Al Mumineen Road stops migration from the north, but vast vacant plots to the west and south provide unlimited sources of scorpions.

The second reason

Park and walkway draw insects as well as visitors

Al Fayha Park and the Al Fayha walkway attract families and insects alike, and the scorpion follows the insects there. Treatment around the park reduces the food source but does not stop migration from vacant land.

The third reason

Incomplete schemes allow long migration distances

Vast empty plots provide safe passages for scorpions to travel hundreds of metres. A scorpion can start at the edge of the district and reach the villas in the centre without meeting any barrier.

The character of Al Fayha

New development: ongoing construction and vacant plots between the homes

A new district in an expansion zone means high levels of activity and continuous migration from vacant land. Haram boundary protection on one side provides false comfort because other plots remain open and scorpions migrate freely from all other directions.

Before treatment

What we check outside before we go in

The northern Haram boundary at Umm Al Mumineen Road provides actual protection from migration from the north, but the extended vacant plots provide a continuous source from west and south.

Wall joints and boundary walls

Gaps in the external boundary wall may be wide in new villas, and foundations rising from rising ground leave gaps under the plaster.

Blocks and stones stacked in the corner of a yard

Rubble and stacked block

Building waste still lies in adjoining schemes and provides seasonal refuges for scorpions before they migrate towards the villas.

Palm fronds and garden litter

The park, walkway and mall draw high densities of insects, and the scorpion hunts them near these areas before migrating.

Doors in new villas may need extra treatment around seals and openings.

Irrigation and damp soil

Irrigation starts in the park and shared areas, but extended vacant plots provide seasonal natural dampness.

Lighting in the walkway and park draws insects all night, and the scorpion gathers around these lit areas.

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.

What is different about Al Umrah Sub-Municipality

Al Umrah sub municipality covers the north west of Makkah along the Madinah road and the old Jeddah road, from At Tanim and Masjid Aisha to An Nawwariyah. Its districts are the city's newest, villas and apartment blocks raised on wide schemes where large tracts in Al Umrah Al Jadidah, Al Fayha and Al Buhayrat remain vacant or under construction. Wadi Saraf and Wadi At Tanim run through it and rainwater gathers on unfinished schemes, ihram shops, restaurants and coach stops along the Madinah road serve a constant flow of pilgrims, and villas fill Al Hamra and Umm Al Jud.

Questions about this district

Does the northern Haram boundary protect Al Fayha from seasonal migration?

The Haram boundary stops migration from the north only. The district connects to vacant land from west, south and east. Protection on one side does not stop the overall flow of scorpions from other sources.

Does Al Fayha Park and its walkway increase scorpion activity?

The park and walkway draw insects because of plants and water, and the scorpion hunts them there. Abundant insects mean constant food that attracts migrating scorpions from distant land.

Do the vast vacant plots provide an endless source of new scorpions?

Yes. The wide empty plots provide effectively unlimited numbers of soil dwellers and migrating scorpions. Treatment at one villa does not cut off this source.

When does scorpion activity peak in the new Al Fayha area?

Activity rises during the rains when moisture lingers in vacant plots, and in summer when the scorpion searches for water around gardens and irrigation schemes.

Does treating the park and walkway stop migration to the surrounding villas?

Treating the park stops nearby insects but vacant land still provides habitat for distant scorpions. Treatment must include the perimeter of each surrounding villa separately.

Are new villas in Al Fayha more at risk than older ones in nearby Al Hamra?

Yes. New villas in Al Fayha are more at risk because they sit surrounded by vacant land and have less natural protection. Older villas in Al Hamra are surrounded by services and plants that offer relative protection.

How much does scorpion control in Al Fayha 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 Fayha.
