What attracts pests in Al Hamra, and how we treat it
Pest control in Al Hamra in east Riyadh starts from its buildings: villas, apartment buildings and shops and commercial buildings near Eastern Ring Road. Villas, with gardens, walkways and annexes, give pests many ways in: manholes and garden drains for cockroaches, timber against walls for termites, and open yards for scorpions. Through the long hot summer cockroaches are active in drains and manholes, and the American cockroach usually lives in sewers, so these points are treated and their covers sealed before the inside. The right plan: inspect the perimeter, garden and manholes, use gel baits in the kitchen instead of broad spraying, treat termites in the soil if tubes appear, then a follow-up visit.
Most likely pests in Al Hamra
| Pest | Where it hides | Suitable treatment |
|---|---|---|
| cockroaches | drains, manholes, kitchens and bathrooms | gel baits in cracks and sealed drain covers |
| ants | food residue, sugars and tile cracks | spot baits and tracing the trail to its source |
| termites | damp soil and timber touching it | check mud tubes, then a soil barrier or baits |
| scorpions | vacant plots, stones, building debris and walls | clearing the perimeter, sealing gaps and targeted outdoor treatment |
