Scorpion control in Al Qararah Al Jadid Makkah

Al Qararah Al Jadid is a new district within the Crown Prince development schemes south of Makkah along the southern extension of Ibrahim Al Khalil Road. Residential and commercial plots with buildings still under construction sit on flat open ground. Wadi Uranah crosses through it and the open land provides high moisture, with scorpions finding easy shelter in buildings still being built.

Why they keep coming back in Al Qararah Al Jadid

Wide open land, ongoing construction and the neighbouring wadi create ideal conditions for scorpions and insects. The method is set out in full on how we approach Scorpion control.

The first reason

Open residential land and ongoing building

Al Qararah Al Jadid is planned residential land but construction is not finished, and gaps between buildings still under construction are very wide. Excavation, fill and ongoing work create an unstable environment where scorpions find easy shelter in gaps and holes.

The second reason

Wadi Uranah and constant moisture

Wadi Uranah runs through the district across flat ground, meaning water gathers after rain. High soil moisture and groundwater draw scorpions. The district sits at relatively low elevation, increasing the chance of water pooling.

The third reason

The new road and commercial gaps

The southern Ibrahim Al Khalil Road is new and development around it continues. Commercial plots and vacant land offer scorpion shelter. Commercial spaces need treatment before shops open.

Before treatment

What we check outside before we go in

The district sits south of Al Mudaa Al Jadid along the southern extension of Ibrahim Al Khalil Road on flat open ground, with Wadi Uranah crossing it and Jabal Labanah standing just to the north.

Building debris, excavation spoil and fill provide temporary and lasting scorpion shelter.

Palm fronds and garden litter

Wild plants and grass in vacant land attract insects in large numbers.

Irrigation and damp soil

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 Qararah Al Jadid

New development: ongoing construction and vacant plots between the homes

A new development means construction is unfinished and gaps between buildings are very wide, with open land providing easy shelter. Interior treatment alone will not stop entry from vacant land and the neighbouring wadi, so intensive external treatment is essential.

Questions about this district

Why do scorpions appear in new buildings still under construction?

New buildings are surrounded by vacant land, gaps are very wide and construction is ongoing. Excavation and fill provide shelter, and the wadi brings moisture. Preventive treatment before occupation is far better.

Does Wadi Uranah make stopping scorpions impossible?

The wadi raises moisture but does not make treatment impossible. Treating gaps and open land around buildings cuts entry sharply. Regular treatment is essential.

Does ongoing building increase scorpion problems?

Yes, heavily. Ongoing work creates instability and excavation provides shelter. Problems decrease after building finishes but preventive treatment before occupation is better.

When should a new villa in Al Qararah Al Jadid be treated?

Just before moving in is best. Preventive treatment before occupation stops scorpion establishment. After moving in, regular treatment every two months is essential.

Do commercial spaces need treatment before the shop opens?

Yes, essential. Commercial spaces in a developing district may hide scorpions even before the shop opens. Preventive treatment before opening stops the first entry.

Is one treatment enough in a new development?

No, a new development means ongoing building and a wet wadi. Preventive first treatment followed by regular treatment every two months is essential to maintain protection.

How much does scorpion control in Al Qararah Al Jadid 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 Qararah Al Jadid.
