Comes in from desert ground around new-build villas and compounds, usually sheltering somewhere cool and dark at floor level.
Scorpions shelter during the day under anything flat and undisturbed — paving slabs, stored timber, plant pots, cardboard in a storeroom — and hunt at night. They enter buildings under door gaps and through unsealed service penetrations, and are found most often in villas backing onto open ground or active construction.
A sting is painful and needs medical attention, and reactions are more serious in children and older people. Most stings happen by accident — a hand into a stored box, a bare foot at night — rather than from an aggressive animal.
We treat the perimeter and the harbourage rather than the room: a residual barrier at the base of external walls, treatment under paving, stores and garden features, and proofing of door gaps and service penetrations. A night survey with UV light confirms afterwards whether the perimeter is actually holding.
Practical steps that make a repeat infestation far less likely after treatment.
Fit door sweeps and seal service penetrations at ground level
Keep paving, timber, pots and cardboard off the ground and away from the walls
Clear rubble and building debris from the plot boundary
Shake out shoes and check stored boxes before reaching in, especially after construction nearby
The things people ask us most before booking this treatment.
A sting is painful and should be seen by a doctor, and reactions are more serious in children and older people. Most stings happen by accident — a hand into a stored box, a bare foot at night — rather than from an aggressive animal.
Nearly always because ground nearby has been disturbed — a plot cleared, foundations dug, a wall built. Clearance work pushes them into whatever shelter is closest, which is why villas backing onto open land or active construction see them first.
Scorpions glow pale green under UV light, so a night survey with a UV torch shows exactly what's still sheltering on the plot. It's the only reliable way to tell whether a perimeter treatment is actually holding.
