Scorpion control in Al Qashashiyah Al Jadid Makkah

Al Qashashiyah Al Jadid comprises Crown Prince schemes seven and eight, the southernmost schemes beside Kasab Hills and Wadi Malakan. Ongoing construction, new homes and extensive vacant plots between them mark the landscape, crossed by the Fifth Ring Road and the southern extension of Ibrahim Al Khalil Road. Scorpions arrive from the vast empty ground and ongoing excavation and find their way into new homes through gaps and exposed foundation points.

Why they keep coming back in Al Qashashiyah Al Jadid

In Al Qashashiyah Al Jadid the problem is scale: vacant plots are wider and more numerous than in other schemes, construction continues in multiple places simultaneously, so scorpions arrive from every direction. The method is set out in full on the full Scorpion control page.

The first reason

Vast vacant plots, open excavations and ongoing building

Vacant land surrounds the scheme on all sides with excavations and concurrent building works in multiple locations leaving exposed bases and open service routes. Scorpions arrive from these sources continuously and with no let.

The second reason

New foundations and open ventilation and drainage gaps

Modern houses have open ventilation and drainage openings below the base slab. Scorpions use these openings as direct entry points, so treatment must seal these gaps first before any chemical application.

The third reason

Kasab Hills and Wadi Malakan in close geographic proximity

Proximity to Kasab Hills and Wadi Malakan increases the natural scorpion burden in the area, especially during the hot months when scorpions seek water and cool shelter.

Before treatment

What we check outside before we go in

Extensive vacant plots, nearby hills and open excavations provide a continuous source of scorpions feeding into the district.

An exterior block boundary wall showing joints and cracks

Wall joints and boundary walls

New villa walls and foundations have gaps in joints from construction and settling that directly provide routes for scorpions to enter.

Blocks and stones stacked in the corner of a yard

Rubble and stacked block

Construction waste and ongoing excavation leave piles of earth, aggregate and sand providing scorpion shelter.

Palm fronds and garden litter

Dead palm fronds and leaves from landscaping accumulate in corners and adjacent vacant ground.

The gap under the door

Ventilation and drainage openings below foundations are unprotected and allow direct scorpion entry from external ground.

Irrigation and damp soil

Water from drainage and construction collects around foundations leaving soil permanently damp, attracting scorpions toward the house.

The light by the door

Lighting from shops and the development attracts insects, and scorpions follow them from adjacent vacant plots.

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 Qashashiyah Al Jadid

New development: ongoing construction and vacant plots between the homes

Ongoing construction and vacant plots mean the district is in continuous change, and openings and gaps in foundations and walls shift as new work proceeds. Treatment requires more frequent reapplication because new building and excavation continually create fresh scorpion entry points.

Questions about this district

Are vast vacant plots the main scorpion source here?

Yes, the extensive empty land around the scheme provides ideal scorpion habitat and forms a continuous source. Treatment must focus heavily on the scheme perimeter.

Should I treat the villa before moving in or after?

Treatment before move-in is essential, because a new empty villa may have already attracted scorpions from the surrounding vacant land.

Do nearby vacant plots increase scorpion risk around new homes?

Yes, adjacent vacant land is the primary driver. Scorpions migrate from empty ground into houses seeking moisture and food sources.

Does ongoing construction dust help scorpions enter?

Yes, ongoing building leaves gaps and cracks in foundations and walls. Construction dust masks chemical residue and reduces treatment effectiveness.

How many times per year must a villa be treated here?

Treatment every two to three months minimum is necessary due to continuous pressure from the vacant land.

Do openings below foundations and vents provide direct entry routes?

Yes, these openings are among the easiest entry points. Treatment must seal and protect these gaps before any chemical application.

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