Pest control in Deira

Cockroach Control

Cartons and sacks moving in and out of Deira's shops and stores carry cockroaches between buildings, and shared drainage in the older blocks spreads them to the flats above. Act when they appear in more than one room or floor; drains, risers and voids need treating, not just the kitchen.

Rodent Control

Stores, waste points and loading areas around the souks and the Creek give rats food and cover, and old buildings have plenty of gaps to get in. Act on droppings, gnawed goods or rub marks along walls, and seal gaps around pipes and doors.

Bed Bug Control

Deira's many hotels and furnished rooms see a constant flow of travellers' luggage, the easiest way for bed bugs to arrive. Check second-hand beds and sofas before bringing them in, and act on the first bites or dark spots on mattress seams.

Fly Control

Restaurants, cafeterias and the fish, meat and produce trade in Deira create waste that breeds house flies, while drain flies come up from kitchen floor drains. Covered bins, daily waste removal and clean drains do more than spraying adult flies.

Moth Control

Shops and stores holding spices, rice, dried fruit, nuts or flour can attract pantry moths, whose larvae spoil stock and spread to neighbouring shelves. Act on webbing in packs or small moths flying near stored food, and sell older stock first.
