Pest Management

Our Pest Control Technicians have extensive experience in monitoring and managing aquatic pest infestations.

The Approach

Lakes and other water bodies can become ideal breeding habitats for aquatic pests that have public health importance like mosquitoes, Chironomid midges, and biting midges. In the middle east, the warm weather provides these pests with year‐ around breeding season. If left un‐managed, the populations of these pests can reach alarming levels that pose high risk for residents, visitors and staff working around these lakes. Some of these pests (like mosquitoes) and closely monitored by municipalises and other government agencies and hefty fines will be given to properties that harbour these public health pests.

Following videos show extreme infestations of Chironomid midge flies around lakes in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. The source of the infestation was found to be the sediment at the basin of nearby lakes.
