Pest Control
General Pest Control Services in Dubai
Killing the one you can see is the least useful thing you can do.
Cockroaches, ants, spiders and crawling insects, treated at source.
MELLS provides Dubai Municipality approved pest control across Dubai, applied by licensed technicians in unmarked vehicles, with a follow up visit included.

Treated discreetly, and properly
Harbourages found before anything is applied, approved products only, and an unmarked vehicle if you would prefer that. Nobody needs to know we came.
- Inspection and harbourage mapping before treatment
- Municipality approved products only
- Unmarked vehicle available on request

Proofing first, treatment second
Spraying without closing the route in means the same visit again in six weeks. Irrigation against the structure, planting touching a wall and open service penetrations are the usual causes.
- Entry routes closed, not just sprayed
- Irrigation and planting reviewed against the structure
- Follow up visit built into the programme

Safe around children and pets
Product choice, placement and re entry time are decided around your household, and you are told exactly what has been used and where.
- Products and placements written down for you
- Clear re entry times given before we leave
- Child and pet safe options as standard
Before anything is quoted
We look at the property before we put a number on it
A price list cannot see your marble, your ducts, or the wall the afternoon sun hits. So we come and look. A senior member of the team surveys the property, and you receive a written quotation the same day, itemised, with what is included and what is not.
No obligation. If we are not the right company for the job we will say so, and tell you who is.
- 01The survey
We look at the property, not a price list. Usually the same day you ask.
- 02The written quote
Fixed, itemised, and sent the same day. What is included, and what is not.
- 03The work
A named supervisor and a crew you will see again. Our own equipment and materials.
- 04The walkthrough
We walk the property with you before the team leaves. Anything not right is dealt with then.
About this service
What is general pest control and what does it include?
For every insect visible in a kitchen, the colony behind it is somewhere you have not looked.
This is why supermarket sprays feel effective for a week and then stop. They deal with individuals while the source, a nest behind cabinetry, a harbourage point under a sink, a route in along a service pipe, continues producing. Worse, repellent sprays can push a cockroach population out of one area and into several new ones, turning a contained problem into a distributed one. Treating the source is a different job requiring different products, and it is the only version that ends the problem rather than pausing it.
We inspect first, identify the species, find the harbourage points and entry routes, and then treat with gel baits, residual products and targeted application matched to what we actually found. Gel baiting works because it is carried back into the colony, which reaches the population you cannot see. Products are DM approved and selected for use in occupied homes with children and pets, and we tell you clearly what to do before and after the visit, along with a realistic timeline for results. A follow up visit confirms it worked.

How the process works
Tell us what you have seen
Describe the activity and where. We will advise before we quote, and we arrive unmarked.
Inspection and identification
We identify the species, trace the source, and find the harbourage points and entry routes.
Treatment plan
You are told what will be applied, where, and what you need to do before and after the visit.
Targeted treatment
Gel baiting and residual products applied to reach the colony, not just the insects on the surface.
Prevention advice
Entry points and conducive conditions are identified so the problem does not simply return.
Follow up visit
We come back to confirm the treatment worked. A single visit with no verification is not a solution.

View serviceFrequently asked questions
How much does general pest control cost in Dubai?
There is no fixed rate card. Price follows the size and condition of the property, so a senior member of the team surveys it first and you get a written, itemised quotation the same day. The figure on that quotation is the figure you pay.
Who does general pest control near me in Dubai?
MELLS covers ninety communities across Dubai and works in Abu Dhabi and Sharjah for commercial premises. Message +971 58 656 3001 on WhatsApp with your community and we will confirm availability.
What is the best general pest control company in Dubai?
Judge any company on three things: whether the team is directly employed or subcontracted, whether the quote is fixed in writing before work starts, and whether a supervisor walks the property with you at the end. MELLS does all three as standard.
How quickly can you start general pest control?
Survey usually the same day you ask, quotation the same day, and work scheduled within forty eight hours in most cases. Urgent call outs are handled the same day where the team is free.
Is general pest control safe for children and pets?
Yes. Products are selected for occupied family homes as the default, re entry times are told to you before we leave, and anything stronger is only ever used with your agreement.
Is pest control safe with children and pets at home?
We use Dubai Municipality approved products and tell you plainly how long to stay out of each treated area. Where a lower toxicity option exists we use it by default.
How quickly can pest control come out?
Same day is normal for urgent work such as bed bugs or a wasp nest. We tell you honestly when we can attend rather than promising a slot we cannot hold.
How do I get a quote from MELLS?
Message us on WhatsApp on +971 58 656 3001 or call the same number. A senior member of the team surveys the property and you receive a written itemised quotation the same day.
Which areas of the UAE does MELLS cover?
Ninety communities across Dubai for residential work, and Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Sharjah for commercial premises.
How is a deep clean different from a regular cleaning visit?
A regular visit maintains what is already clean. A deep clean resets the property, including the areas a routine service is not expected to reach: behind and under appliances, inside cabinets, along tracks and skirting, into upholstery and grout. Different equipment, different products, considerably more time.
How often should a Dubai home be deep cleaned?
Twice a year for most homes, typically before and after summer. Households with children, pets, or anyone with allergies usually benefit from quarterly. Move in, move out and post renovation cleans sit outside that cycle.
How often do AC ducts actually need cleaning?
Every eighteen to twenty four months for a typical Dubai property, and sooner after any renovation or if anyone in the home has asthma or allergies. Filters and vents need attention far more often, roughly quarterly.
Are your products safe for children and pets?
Yes. We use products selected for occupied family homes as the default, and full chemical free steam cleaning is available for households that prefer it. Pest control products are DM approved and applied by licensed technicians, and we always tell you when an area is safe to reoccupy.
Do you bring your own equipment and materials?
Yes. Our teams arrive fully equipped with professional grade machinery, products and materials. Nothing of yours is used.
Ready to book general pest control?
Quick response, trained technicians, and a price agreed before we start.
