Scorpionsin Marrakech
In ArabicالعقاربAndroctonus mauritanicus
Scorpions are a genuine safety issue around Marrakech, particularly for houses on the outskirts near open ground or building sites. They come in low — thresholds, drains, cracks — looking for shade and cool. Treatment is therefore as much about sealing the building as about product.

How to recognise an infestation
- A scorpion found in a bath, sink or shower: it followed a drain up.
- Repeated sightings in the garage, laundry or a cool ground-floor room.
- Obvious harbourage against the house: stone piles, firewood, building rubble.
- A heavy insect population — their prey — drawing them onto the plot.
Why waiting costs more
A sting from the black scorpion found in this region is painful and, in a small child, can require urgent medical care. For a family home or tourist accommodation, this is the pest that most clearly justifies preventive rather than reactive treatment.
Our treatment protocol
Night inspection
Scorpions are nocturnal and fluoresce under UV light. It is the only reliable way to gauge the real population on the plot.Perimeter barrier
Residual treatment around the building, at thresholds, inspection chambers and low points — the belt a scorpion has to cross to get in.Sealing the access points
Filling cracks, fine mesh on drains and air bricks, brush seals at door bases. A scorpion gets through anywhere a credit card would.Removing prey and harbourage
Treating the insects they feed on, plus advice on moving stone piles, firewood and rubble away from the walls. With no food and nowhere to hide, they don't settle.
