Scorpion control in Al Rehab Jeddah
Al Rehab is a large mixed district between Al Arbaeen Street and the expressway, with apartment blocks and shops at street level. Here the scorpion moves easily between units via shared corridors and gaps under doors, and the shop below the flat may supply the insects it hunts.

Why they keep coming back in Al Rehab
Movement between flats via shared corridors and stairways makes scorpion travel easy, and the shop below remains open during the day as a source of insects. The method is set out in full on the full Scorpion control page.
Shops and insects on the ground floor
The shop below the flat is open to insects that draw the scorpion. Treating only the flat is not enough, treatment must be coordinated with the shop to control insects on the ground level.
Shared corridors and gaps between units
Corridors and stairways carry the scorpion from outside into the flat. Gaps under corridor doors and spaces around drain pipes need unified treatment across all connected flats.
Drainage networks and pipes beneath the building
Pipes and channels under the structure provide safe passage for the scorpion. Treatment focuses on where pipes enter from outside and sealing gaps around the foundations.
The character of Al Rehab
Mixed district: shops at street level with homes above them
A mixed district means the scorpion travels easily between units via shared corridors and pipes, so treatment focuses on the connection points between flat, shop and corridors, not the flat alone.
What we check outside before we go in
The buildings are mixed use, shops on the ground floor and flats above, shared corridors connect multiple units and old networks run beneath the structure.
Wall joints and boundary walls
Wall joints around mixed buildings may be weak, and treatment focuses on the external perimeter of the structure and around the foundations.
Rubble and stacked block
Rubble and stacked block may lie in internal corridors, and cleaning with treatment together stops the scorpion.
Palm fronds and garden litter
Palm fronds and grass may rest in external gaps and corridors, and cleaning removes harbourage.
The gap under the door
The gap under the flat door and the gap under the shared corridor door are both direct entry points, and sealing with treatment are both necessary.
Irrigation and damp soil
Moisture around drain pipes and irrigation in external spaces attract insects and the scorpion that follows them.
The light by the door
Light in the corridor and at the main entrance draws insects, and treatment around the light source cuts off the food chain.
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
Is treating only my flat enough if my neighbour's flat is untreated?
An untreated neighbouring flat may be the scorpion's source. Unified treatment with neighbours is best, but sealing all gaps around your flat reduces the risk.
Is the shop below my flat the source of scorpions?
The shop attracts insects and the scorpion follows them. If the shop is untreated or unclean, insects can reach the flat through gaps and pipes.
Must shared corridors be treated or is treating my flat alone sufficient?
The shared corridor is the insects' path, treating the corridor and gaps around your door stops the scorpion arriving from outside.
Are gaps around drain pipes a major entry route for scorpions?
Drain pipes provide a safe route for the scorpion. Sealing gaps where pipes enter the flat protects against scorpion entry.
How many times yearly must a flat in Al Rehab be treated?
First treatment provides protection, repeated treatment by season and on signs of activity ensures the scorpion does not return.
Is a flat on the first floor more at risk than those on the second or third?
Lower flats may face greater risk from proximity to foundations and damp corridors, but scorpions reach all floors through the pipes.
How much does scorpion control in Al Rehab 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 Rehab.
