Scorpion control in Al Shubaikah Al Jadid Makkah

Al Shubaikah Al Jadid is Crown Prince schemes three and four south of the city on the Al Laith road, with new villas scattered among empty plots and wide streets. Building is ongoing, foundations are exposed and excavations lie open. Wadi Uranah runs beneath the ground, and scorpions arrive with the water run-off after rain. Treatment focuses on exposed foundations and the rising outer walls.

Why they keep coming back in Al Shubaikah Al Jadid

Exposed excavations and uncovered foundations provide direct shelter and entry for scorpions without needing to climb the walls. The method is set out in full on Scorpion control in detail.

The first reason

Exposed foundations are temporary scorpion storage

Villas under construction have deep exposed foundations. Scorpions shelter in these pits and live there for weeks. When building completes and the foundation is covered, they are forced to enter the house.

The second reason

Wadi Uranah flows beneath and surfaces after heavy rain

Wadi Uranah runs underground through the area. After heavy rain, the excavations and low ground become waterlogged. Scorpions search for dry shelter and run to neighbouring homes.

The third reason

Surrounding hills provide continuous insect supply

Jabal Labnah and Jabal Kasab provide insects, snakes and scorpions. New homes attract insects from nature.

Before treatment

What we check outside before we go in

New housing schemes south of Makkah on Al Laith Road, new villas on empty plots with exposed foundations and scattered building, with Wadi Uranah and its tributaries flowing beneath.

An exterior block boundary wall showing joints and cracks

Wall joints and boundary walls

The gaps between new concrete foundations and the soil are slightly wide. Treating these gaps cuts the direct entry route.

Blocks and stones stacked in the corner of a yard

Rubble and stacked block

Building rubble and stone are piled near foundations. Removing this debris cuts available shelter.

Palm fronds and garden litter

New landscaping plants around new villas do not yet provide abundant insect food. But wild plants on the hills do.

The space between an exterior door and its threshold

The gap under the door

New doors and windows seal tightly but small gaps may exist around the frames. We inspect for these gaps.

Irrigation and damp soil

New sewage systems are not complete in some areas. Open pipes and pits provide direct entry.

A light fitting mounted on an exterior wall

The light by the door

Strong lighting at the entrance deters scorpions naturally. We advise bright lighting on the main entrances.

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 South Makkah Sub-Municipality

South Makkah sub municipality is the belt of Crown Prince schemes south of Al Ukayshiyah, along the Al Laith road and the extension of Ibrahim Al Khalil Road to the Fifth Ring Road and the Non Muslims bypass. Most of it is still bare: granted plots awaiting houses, new villas standing alone, open building sites and unfinished paving and drainage. Wadi Uranah and its tributaries cross the low ground and hold water after rain, hills close it in, and rodents, reptiles and scorpions shelter in stacked materials and foundation pits before the neighbourhoods fill up.

Questions about this district

Is it better to treat a new villa before moving in or after?

Treating before moving in is better. The foundations and outer walls are easy to access. After moving in, treatment needs to be less invasive but may need repeating.

Are empty plots beside the villa a constant threat?

Yes, empty land and excavations provide food and shelter. Treating the outer wall and cutting entry routes reduces risk but does not remove it while the land stays empty.

Are new villas at higher risk than older homes?

Yes, new villas in development zones are at higher risk. Exposed foundations and neighbouring empty land provide ongoing sources.

Can treatment reach Wadi Uranah below ground?

No, the wadi is underground and unreachable. But strong treatment around the foundations and soil cuts off the entry routes scorpions use.

When is the best time to treat a new villa in Al Shubaikah Al Jadid?

Just before moving in or after finishing paint and fittings. Early treatment before occupation provides longer protection.

Do heavy rains increase scorpion sightings?

Yes, after heavy rain scorpion numbers rise because the wadi runs and excavations flood. Treatment after rain may be necessary.

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