Why they keep coming back in Al Harah Al Janubiyah

Farmland and small irrigation channels provide constant damp environment attracting rodents and insects. The method is set out in full on the full Snake control page.

The first reason

Proximity to farmland and waterways

Al Harah Al Janubiyah sits at the boundary between popular housing and open farmland. Farms provide water and food, rodents concentrate around irrigation channels and crops. Snakes follow these rodents to nearby homes.

The second reason

Humidity and salt from the sea

The sea is very close and high humidity and salt air create conditions that attract snakes and geckos. Damp walls and wet foundations provide environment for insects and rodents that draw snakes.

The third reason

Popular housing and open boundaries

Old popular housing may have weak foundations and wide gaps. Open edges towards farmland provide direct routes for rodents and snakes. Sealing entry points is harder here because gaps are numerous.

How we work

1
Inspect and locate

We work the perimeter, the garden and the service rooms with a torch and a mirror, reading the tracks, the skins and the burrows to establish whether it is still on site and where it came in.
2
Safe removal

It comes out on a hook and tongs into a closed container and is released away from buildings where that is possible, with no chasing it around a room.
3
Close the routes, take away the shelter

A strip under the gate, sleeves around pipe entries, tight covers on the floor drains, and the blocks and palm fronds moved off the wall line.
4
Cut the food, then come back

We treat the rodents and the geckos on the perimeter, then return once that activity has settled to check the sealed points and look for any fresh track.

What snake control includes

A recorded site inspection

Perimeter, garden, service rooms and pipe entries, with tracks and skins recorded before anything is applied.
Drains and entries closed

Tight covers on floor drains, sleeves around waste and air conditioning pipe runs, and the weep holes in the boundary wall closed.
Rodent work around the building

Closed bait stations on the rodent runs, because cutting the prey is what makes the site stop suiting them.
Perimeter treatment down the food chain

Insects on lit walls hold the geckos, and geckos feed some species, so we treat the chain from the bottom up.
A perimeter housekeeping list

What to move off the wall line, how low to cut the ground cover, where the lighting sits, and what to do if you see another one.
A scheduled follow-up

A set date to check the sealed points, the rodent stations and any new track in the sand.
