What to Do in a Pest Emergency in Dubai

What counts as a pest emergency?

• A rat or mouse inside a home, kitchen or food store
• A sudden cockroach outbreak in a restaurant or hotel
• Bed bugs found shortly before guests arrive
• A wasp nest near a door, balcony or play area
• Active termites found during renovation or handover
• Any pest problem before an inspection or audit

What should I do first?

1. Keep children and pets away from the area.
2. Cover or put away food, dishes and utensils.
3. Note where and when you saw the pests, and take a photo.
4. Call or WhatsApp a pest control service that is open 24 hours.

What should I avoid?

• Do not spray a wasp nest or try to knock it down
• Do not corner a rodent or block its way out
• Do not use several household sprays at once, which scatters insects and makes treatment harder
• Do not move infested bedding or furniture to another room

What happens when the technician arrives?

The technician confirms the pest and the source, treats the high-risk areas first using Dubai Municipality-approved products, and explains any precautions. A follow-up visit confirms that the problem has been solved and sets up prevention where it is needed.

How can I avoid the next emergency?

• Seal gaps around doors, pipes and windows
• Keep food sealed and bins closed
• Fix leaks and remove standing water
• Book regular preventive treatments
