Scorpion control in Al Marwah Jeddah
Al Marwah is a comparatively recent district in northern Jeddah between Prince Majid Road and Al Nuzhah Road, adjacent to Al Safa and Al Rabwah. New and recently built villas and apartment buildings sit on a regular plan with wide streets and balanced spacing. Prince Majid Park, Uthman ibn Affan Mosque and the Al Marwah health centre serve the district. Scorpions use the gaps between villas and apartments and move through the irrigated green spaces.

Why they keep coming back in Al Marwah
New villas have walls and private gardens, apartment blocks sit close to villas, and passages and gaps between them provide routes for scorpions to move between the gardens and green spaces. The method is set out in full on what Scorpion control involves.
New villas with walls and spacious private gardens
Villas in Al Marwah are new and each has its own garden and wall, and the gardens are heavily planted with trees, flowers and shrubs. Constant irrigation and dense green spaces supply food and shelter for scorpions.
New apartment buildings and gaps between them and the villas
Apartment blocks are new and sit close to villas, and the gaps and passages between them provide routes for scorpions. Gaps between units and around foundations need precise treatment.
Prince Majid Park and heavily irrigated green spaces
Prince Majid Park is large and heavily irrigated, providing shelter for insects and scorpions. Green spaces around villas and apartments are also heavily watered.

A comparatively recent district between Prince Majid Road and Al Nuzhah Road in northern Jeddah, with villas and apartment buildings on a regular plan of wide streets and balanced spacing, neighbouring Al Safa and Al Rabwah.
Wall joints and boundary walls
Gaps and walls around villas and apartment blocks are key entry points, especially when damp from irrigation.
Rubble and stacked block
Litter and fallen leaves around villas and walls feed insects that draw scorpions.
Palm fronds and garden litter
Palm fronds, tree leaves and shrub debris pile up in gardens and gaps between villas and apartments.
The gap under the door
Gaps under exterior doors and gates provide direct routes for scorpions from outer passages into homes.
Irrigation and damp soil
Constant garden irrigation keeps soil damp around foundations, attracting scorpions.
The light by the door
Garden and entrance lighting attracts night insects, and scorpions come to hunt them.
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
Do new villas in Al Marwah provide protection from scorpions?
New villas have walls but the irrigated gardens attract insects and scorpions. We focus on hardening the gaps, walls and garden perimeters.
Why are gaps between villas and apartments important in Al Marwah?
Gaps provide safe passages for scorpions to move between gardens and green spaces. We treat every gap and every joint.
Does Prince Majid Park nearby provide shelter for scorpions?
Yes, the park is heavily irrigated and provides shelter for insects and scorpions. We focus on hardening buildings near it.
Is Al Marwah easier to treat than old quarters because it is new?
Newness helps a little, but new gaps and heavily irrigated gardens still provide scorpion shelter.
Do Prince Majid Road and Al Nuzhah Road provide protection?
Main roads provide only partial protection. Scorpions move through gaps, gardens and foundations, not along roads.
How often does Al Marwah need treating because of the irrigated gardens?
Most villas and apartments need regular treatment every three or four months because of gardens and heavily watered green spaces.
How much does scorpion control in Al Marwah 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 Marwah.
