Scorpion control in Al Mursalat Makkah

Al Mursalat is a residential apartment district on the east side of Makkah, south of Al Aziziyah and hard against the Mina road. High-rise buildings and pilgrims hotels stand over shops and restaurants along Al Masjid Al Haram Road. The sheer population density, seasonal turnover in the hotels and the tightly packed blocks mean scorpion treatment differs sharply from quieter neighbourhoods. Each hotel and residential block demands a separate entry point. Traffic never stops, and neither do the entry routes for scorpions.

Why they keep coming back in Al Mursalat

The constant flow of visitors, pilgrims, workers and staff creates repeated entry points for scorpions, especially through hotel and shop doors that stand open long hours into the night. The method is set out in full on how we approach Scorpion control.

The first reason

Seasonal hotels and continuous movement

Hotels that let furnished flats to pilgrims see constant guest and staff movement. Scorpions enter with luggage and cases or slip through doors left open for hours, finding rich feeding in the small insects on the lower floors.

The second reason

Markets, restaurants and food waste

Dense restaurants and commercial shops along Al Masjid Al Haram Road leave food waste in the pilgrimage peaks. This waste draws small insects and rats that in turn draw scorpions to the hotel and building entrances.

The third reason

Busy roads and narrow passages

Al Masjid Al Haram Road is congested and brightly lit after dark, drawing flying insects. The passages between buildings are narrow and shaded, offering scorpions safe passage before they breach the buildings themselves.

Al Mursalat sits about 1 km from Al Jamiah and about 2.5 km from Al Sanabel.

Before treatment

What we check outside before we go in

The district stretches along Al Masjid Al Haram Road and King Khalid Road, holding a hospital, a health clinic and dense commercial markets that leave food waste throughout the pilgrimage peaks.

Wall joints and boundary walls

The joints between hotel and adjacent apartment block walls hold steady damp from central cooling and irrigation systems, providing wet shelter for scorpions.

Blocks and stones stacked in the corner of a yard

Rubble and stacked block

Debris from daily cleaning and maintenance work piles up in corners and gaps between buildings, drawing small insects.

Palm fronds and garden litter

Fallen leaves and twigs from the roadside trees drop onto entries and passages, giving scorpions and night insects cover to move unseen.

The gap under the door

Gaps under shop and hotel doors stay propped open because of the constant movement, offering direct routes for scorpions and rats.

Irrigation and damp soil

Central watering and cleaning water pools round building bases, providing steady dampness and small insect prey.

The light by the door

Strong night lighting round the hotels and shops draws flying insects and scorpions with them, especially near the main entry doors.

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 Aziziyah (Makkah) Sub-Municipality

Al Aziziyah sub municipality runs from the Bin Dawood markets to the Al Hada road and carries pilgrim traffic to Mina. Hotel towers and furnished apartment blocks fill and empty with the Hajj and Ramadan seasons, and the kitchens, restaurants and markets along Al Masjid Al Haram Road and King Abdulaziz Road leave food waste at every peak. Southwards the fabric loosens into villas and planned streets in An Naseem and Al Awali, then Al Abidiyah's campus and the old farms of Al Husayniyah, where Wadi Uranah holds water after rain and farm enclosures shelter rodents and reptiles.

Questions about this district

How do scorpions enter the hotels and residential blocks in this zone?

Doors left open for hours during the season and continuous foot traffic allow scorpions to enter with cases or slip directly through the openings. Narrow passages and the lower floors provide quick shelter.

Is one hotel treatment enough or does each block need separate work?

Each hotel and building block requires separate treatment because movement and connections between them are limited. We do coordinate adjacent buildings to stop them moving between properties.

When does scorpion activity peak in Al Mursalat?

During Hajj, Umrah and holiday seasons, movement and waste increase, and with them the chances of scorpions and other insects gaining entry.

Does restaurant waste directly attract scorpions to the buildings?

Waste attracts the small insects and rats first, and these in turn draw scorpions. The scorpion follows the food chain, not the waste itself.

Does street lighting affect scorpion activity in the district?

Strong lighting draws the small flying insects, and scorpions follow them especially in the early hours after dark when they are most active.

How often does Al Mursalat need routine scorpion treatment?

The seasonal movement and heavy waste load call for repeated treatment, especially before and after the Hajj and Umrah peaks.

How much does scorpion control in Al Mursalat 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 Mursalat.
