Common Pests in Oman.
All 15 of Them.

Our technician inspects drains, manholes, service shafts and kitchen voids to locate the harbourage. Gel bait containing a slow-acting active ingredient is placed directly into cracks and crevices so the cockroaches carry it back and spread it through the population. Drains and wet areas receive a targeted residual application, and a low-odour residual spray is applied along skirtings, pipe entries and travel routes.

German cockroaches live within a metre of food and warmth, so treatment focuses on appliance motors, cupboard hinges and equipment joints. We apply precision gel bait in small placements inside these harbourages and combine it with an insect growth regulator that stops nymphs from maturing into breeding adults. A crack and crevice residual treatment is applied to voids that bait cannot reach.

We inspect the structure for mud tubes, hollow timber and entry points to confirm the species and map the colony's activity. A liquid termiticide is applied to the soil around the foundation to form a continuous treated zone. Where there is a slab or paving, we drill at set intervals and inject termiticide beneath the surface, and affected timber is treated directly.

Each affected room is inspected seam by seam, including mattresses, bed frames, headboards, skirtings and furniture joints. We apply a residual insecticide to harbourage points and a contact treatment to active areas, with close attention to cracks and fixings where eggs are laid. Mattress seams and fabric areas are treated with products approved for that surface.

We survey the site for breeding water in AC drip trays, plant saucers, gutters, tanks and drains. Breeding sites that can be removed are emptied on the spot, and water that cannot be drained is treated with larvicide to kill larvae before they emerge. Where adult mosquitoes are active, a targeted space spray or fogging treatment is applied to resting areas such as shaded vegetation and wall surfaces.

We inspect waste areas, drains and food handling zones to find where flies are breeding. Fly bait is applied to landing surfaces around bins and service areas, and a residual treatment is applied to resting sites such as walls and ceilings near waste points. In kitchens and food areas, UV light traps can be installed to capture adult flies without spraying near food.

Pharaoh ants split into new colonies when sprayed, so we never use repellent products on them. Our technician follows the foraging trails to identify nest areas in wall voids and fittings. Non-repellent gel bait is placed along the trails and near entry points, so workers carry it back and feed it to the queens and brood.

Treatment is carried out at dusk, when the colony has returned and activity is lower. Our technician, in protective equipment, applies an insecticidal dust or foam directly into the nest entrance to reach the whole colony. Once the nest is inactive, it is removed and the entry point is treated.

We remove webs and egg sacs from ceilings, corners, stores and garages. A residual insecticide is applied to the sheltered areas where spiders rest and build webs, including eaves, window frames and storage areas. Because spiders follow their food, we also treat the insects that attract them.

We carry out the survey at night using UV torches, which make scorpions fluoresce so they can be located and removed. Harbourage sites such as rubble, block piles and stored materials are identified, and a residual perimeter treatment is applied around the building's foundation, walls, expansion joints and entry points.

Our team inspects the property for what is attracting the snake, usually rodents, water or shelter in rockeries, woodpiles and garden edges. Any snake present is located and removed by trained staff using safe handling equipment. Gaps at doors, drains and boundary walls are identified for sealing, and the rodent population that draws snakes in is treated.

The Wadi Racer is harmless to people, so it is captured humanely using handling equipment and released away from the property. We then treat the geckos and rodents it was hunting and identify the gaps it used to enter.

We inspect roof voids, store rooms and palm trees for runways, droppings and nesting sites. Tamper-resistant bait stations loaded with rodenticide are secured along active runways, out of reach of children and pets. Entry points in roofs, pipe gaps and walls are identified and sealed with rodent-proof materials.

Mice have a small territory, so we place snap traps and glue boards along walls, behind appliances and inside the voids where activity is found. Where needed, secured bait stations are used in hidden areas. Gaps under doors, around pipework and behind kitchen units are sealed to block entry.

We remove existing nests and droppings, then clean and disinfect the affected surfaces. Depending on the structure, we install bird netting, stainless steel spikes or other deterrent systems on ledges, AC units, signage and roof edges so pigeons can no longer land or roost there.
