Scorpion control in Al Shamiyah Al Jadid Makkah

Al Shamiyah Al Jadid is a newly emerging scheme on Al Laith Road, the westernmost of the southern schemes, with new villas and apartments, gardens and wide streets. Construction is ongoing and vacant plots lie between homes, and scorpions here arrive from excavated soil and open ground around the new villas, and from gaps in new building foundations.

Why they keep coming back in Al Shamiyah Al Jadid

New villas and apartments with wide gaps between them provide straight scorpion pathways between homes without obstruction. The method is set out in full on how we approach Scorpion control.

The first reason

Excavated land and vacant spaces between villas

Al Shamiyah Al Jadid scheme has wide gaps between new villas and apartments. These gaps and excavated ground provide open scorpion corridors between homes. Scorpions need no shelter in such open spaces; they move freely.

The second reason

Ongoing construction and incomplete new foundations

Construction continues in parts of the scheme, and new foundations contain gaps and untreated fissures. Scorpions find easy entry into new villas and apartments directly from exposed ground.

The third reason

Wide streets, gardens and continuous irrigation

Wide streets and new gardens around villas deliver continuous irrigation. Irrigation provides moisture and food insects. Gardens and wide spaces offer scorpion shelter at night, and the landscaping creates humid microclimates that invite them in.

Before treatment

What we check outside before we go in

Excavated land and vacant plots between houses and ongoing construction provide direct open pathways for scorpions, and new exposed soil offers no natural barrier.

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 Shamiyah Al Jadid

New development: ongoing construction and vacant plots between the homes

A newly emerging scheme means scorpions encounter an entirely new habitat: excavated ground, wide gaps, new foundations and new gardens. Preventive treatment matters more than remedial treatment.

Questions about this district

Do wide gaps between villas create scorpion pathways?

Yes, wide gaps and vacant land provide straight unobstructed corridors. Scorpions move easily between villas at night.

Do incomplete new foundations offer easy scorpion entry?

Yes, new foundations have gaps and untreated fissures. Scorpions find easy entry from exposed ground.

Does garden irrigation attract scorpions?

Yes, continuous irrigation provides moisture and the insects scorpions hunt. New gardens create an attractive environment for scorpions.

How often should a new scheme like Al Shamiyah Al Jadid be treated?

New schemes need preventive treatment during and after construction. New foundations and exposed soil create preferred scorpion habitat.

Does distance from the Haram affect scorpion spread?

Distance from the Haram means less congestion, but new exposed soil provides open habitat. Distance does not reduce the problem.

Does the nearby mosque and ring road protect the scheme from scorpions?

No, the ring road and nearby mosque do not offer sufficient protection. Exposed ground and wide gaps provide scorpion corridors.

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