Why they keep coming back in North Obhur

Humidity is high year round and salt laden breezes keep timber and render damp most of the time, while green spaces and pools provide water and food for insects constantly. The method is set out in full on our Scorpion control service.

The first reason

Constant sea humidity, salt and salt laden air all year

North Obhur sits directly on the sea, humidity is high year round and salt laden spray and breezes keep timber, render and frames constantly wet. This draws insects and scorpions, and treatment must be repeated regularly because moisture returns fast.

The second reason

Densely irrigated green spaces and seaside gardens

Villas and resorts have heavily irrigated green gardens to counter salt drying, and gardens and the corniche are ringed with dense planting. Water and thick vegetation provide ideal habitat for insects and scorpions.

The third reason

Chalets and rest houses closed for long periods

Many chalets and rest houses in Obhur stand empty for long spells, which allows insects and scorpions to settle easily. We focus on hardening before closure and treating again on opening.

Landmarks of North Obhur

North Obhur sits on Sharm Obhur and North Obhur Beach, crossed by Prince Abdullah Al Faisal Street with Jeddah Tower and Jeddah Economic City on the plan. We reach villas and resorts via Prince Abdullah Al Faisal Street and treat gardens, beaches and common areas with high precision.

Before treatment

What we check outside before we go in

The northern coastal strip runs directly on the sea, its districts are recently built with owner occupied villas, apartments and resorts and chalets, backed by wadis, open ground and the heavily irrigated green campus of King Abdullah University of Science and Technology.

An exterior block boundary wall showing joints and cracks

Wall joints and boundary walls

Joints and walls on the coast are saturated with salt and moisture, needing repeated regular treatment because salt affects durability.

Blocks and stones stacked in the corner of a yard

Rubble and stacked block

Rubble and waste around coastal foundations stay wet and provide ideal shelter for scorpions.

Palm fronds and garden litter

Palm fronds and seaside vegetation pile up in gardens and gaps, providing food and shelter for insects.

The space between an exterior door and its threshold

The gap under the door

External doors and windows on the coast are exposed to salt spray, and cracks provide entry routes for scorpions.

Irrigation and damp soil

Baths, pools and gardens provide water and constant moisture, drawing insects and scorpions.

Beach and corniche lighting attracts night insects, and scorpions follow them.

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 Dhahban Sub-Municipality

Dhahban sub municipality is the northern coastal strip of Jeddah, running from the north bank of Sharm Obhur up to the old village of Dhahban and Salman Bay. Its districts are recently built, with owner occupied villas and apartments, beach resorts and chalets on the shore, and land subdivisions still being developed. Nearness to the sea keeps humidity high all year, irrigated lawns in villas, resorts and district parks hold water, Wadi Obhur and the vacant plots between buildings give rodents and reptiles shelter, and the old fishing village of Dhahban gives the far north a rural edge.

Questions about this district

Does sea humidity make treatment harder on the coast than inland?

Yes, constant dampness and salt mean treatment needs more frequent repeating. Timber, frames and joints stay damp, which reduces how long treatment lasts.

Do dense irrigated gardens attract scorpions?

Yes, greatly. Green gardens and constant watering draw insects, mosquitoes and ants, and scorpions come to hunt them.

How do we treat chalets closed for long periods?

We focus on full treatment before closure, and retreat on opening. Empty chalets provide ideal conditions for scorpions and rodents to settle.

Do tourist resorts need different treatment from villas?

Yes, resorts have shared areas, food service and pools, which draw many insects. We focus on shared areas, food stores and service zones.

Does Wadi Obhur supply shelter for scorpions?

The wadi is open ground that provides natural habitat for rodents and insects, and scorpions come from the wadi towards nearby buildings.

How often does North Obhur need treatment because of humidity?

Most villas and resorts need regular treatment at least every three months because of humidity and dense gardens.

How much does scorpion control in North Obhur 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 North Obhur.
