Scorpion and Pest Control in Al Lisaili and Desert Areas - Al Asfour Al Zahabi - 0588837818

Homes and farm estates (izba) near the desert in Al Lisaili and surrounding areas are more exposed to scorpions. Here's how to block their way in, what to do if someone is stung, and when you need professional pest control.

Why Do Scorpions Appear in Al Lisaili?

Al Lisaili and its surrounding areas sit close to the desert and are home to houses, farm estates (izba), farms and storerooms for animal feed and equipment. Scorpions hide by day under stones, wood and rubble, and come out at night to hunt the insects they feed on. So the more insects and hiding places there are around your home, the more likely scorpions are to reach it.

How Do Scorpions Get Into the House?

Gaps under exterior doors and storeroom doors.
Cracks around pipes, AC openings and cables.
Plants and branches touching the walls.
Piles of firewood, stones and building materials near the house.

Preventive Steps Around the House

Fit door sweeps (draught excluders) under exterior doors.
Seal cracks around pipes and openings with suitable materials.
Move firewood, stones and rubble away from the house walls, and keep stored items off the ground.
Trim shrubs that touch the walls.
Reduce outdoor lighting near doors, as it attracts insects, which in turn attract scorpions.
Shake out shoes, clothes and stored blankets before using them, and wear gloves when moving things in the storeroom.
Check children's play areas in the yard before they go out in the evening.

What to Do If Someone Is Stung

Keep the person calm and limit movement of the stung limb.
Wash the sting site with soap and water, and apply a cold compress.
Seek medical help immediately, especially for children, the elderly and anyone showing severe symptoms. The ambulance number in the UAE is 998.
Don't cut the sting site or try to suck out the venom, and don't apply a tight bandage to the limb.

Professional Scorpion Control

Spraying alone won't get rid of scorpions, as their bodies can tolerate many insecticides. An effective plan combines an inspection of the house surroundings and storerooms to find hiding spots, treatment of the outdoor perimeter and of the insects scorpions feed on, and guidance on which entry points need sealing. We also return for regular visits, especially during the hot months when scorpions are most active.

We cover Al Lisaili, Al Aweer, Margham, Saih Al Salam and Al Faqa.
