Available 24/7, with a free consultation
Scorpions and snakes are part of Qatar's desert environment, and villas with gardens and boundary walls near open land offer them shade, shelter and food. Scorpions hide by day under stones, paving and stored materials or in wall cracks, and hunt at night; a study at Hamad General Hospital found most stings happened in hot, humid weather. Snakes are seen less often but follow the rodents and lizards they eat. Our scorpion and snake control service in Doha, Al Khor, Umm Salal, Al Wakrah, Lusail and across Qatar makes your property uncomfortable for them and hard to get into, with practical guidance to protect your family.
Perimeter Survey & Securing
We start with a careful survey of the outdoor perimeter in daylight and, where needed, at dusk, when scorpions become active. Scorpions glow under ultraviolet light, which helps our technicians spot them in wall cracks, under stones and around planters. We check boundary walls, gate gaps, drain openings, AC units, garden lighting, stored timber, rubble and dense planting against the house. We then treat the cracks, voids and hiding places where scorpions and their insect prey shelter, and explain what is attracting them, from piled materials to rodent activity that can draw snakes.
Lasting Protective Barrier
After treatment, we build a longer-lasting line of defence around the building. A residual treatment along foundations, wall bases and entry points helps intercept scorpions heading for the house. We seal cracks, gaps around pipes and cables, and openings under doors and gates that a scorpion or small snake could squeeze through, and advise on drain covers and door sweeps. There is little reliable evidence that powders or sprays sold as snake repellents work, so we focus on what does: removing shelter and food and closing the routes in, with clear guidance on keeping the perimeter secure.
Safety, guarantee and cost
Staying Safe Around Snakes and Scorpions
If you see a snake, keep children and pets away, stay at a safe distance and do not try to catch or kill it; many bites happen when people try. Qatar's environmental rules also restrict hunting and keeping wild reptiles. Wear closed shoes outdoors at night, shake out shoes and gloves before use, and wear gloves when moving stones. If someone is stung or bitten, keep them still and call 999.
Our Quality Guarantee
Scorpion treatments and our sealing work are covered by our quality guarantee for 2 months, with unlimited follow-up visits. If scorpion activity returns in the treated area within that period, contact us and we will inspect and re-treat as set out in the agreed service terms. Snakes are wild animals that can travel from open land, so no one can promise one will never enter a garden, but we help keep the risk to a minimum.
What Affects the Price
The cost depends on the length of the perimeter, the size of the garden and outdoor areas, the condition of boundary walls, how much sealing is needed, and whether the property borders open land or a construction site. The first treatment with sealing is usually the largest job, and periodic perimeter treatments can follow in the hot months, when scorpions are more active. We confirm the full price after inspection, before any work begins.

How We Protect Your Property
Free consultation
Call or WhatsApp us with what you have seen and where. If a snake is inside right now, keep everyone away from it and tell us immediately; we are available 24/7.
Day and night inspection
We survey walls, gardens, drains and stored materials, using UV torches after dark where needed to locate scorpions, and identify the shelter and food sources drawing them in.
Targeted treatment
We treat the cracks, voids and hiding places used by scorpions and the insects they feed on, with certified materials applied carefully away from children's play areas and pets.
Sealing and barrier
We seal gaps and openings, apply a residual band around the building and give you a practical checklist for keeping the perimeter clear of shelter.
Frequently asked questions
Are scorpions in Qatar dangerous?
Several scorpion species are recorded in Qatar. A Hamad General Hospital study found all the stings it reviewed caused only local symptoms, such as pain, redness and swelling, but children, older people and anyone with allergies or health conditions may react more strongly. Call 999 if symptoms are severe.
When are scorpions most active in Qatar?
Scorpions are mainly active at night and in warm weather. In the Hamad General Hospital study, most stings happened when temperatures were above 30°C and humidity was high. That makes the warmer months the key period for perimeter treatment, especially for villas near open land.
Do snake repellents work?
There is little reliable evidence that powders, sprays or devices sold as snake repellents keep snakes away. What works is removing what attracts them, such as rubble, stored materials, dense ground cover and rodents, then sealing the gaps they use. That is the focus of our treatment.
What should I do if I find a snake in my house?
Stay calm, move children and pets away and do not try to catch or kill it. If safe, close the door to that room and block the gap underneath with a rolled towel. Call us any time on +974 5048 3231; if anyone is bitten, call 999 immediately.
