PEST CONTROL
Pest Control in Dubai
Discreet, effective, and safe around the people who live here.
Nobody wants to make this call, and nobody wants a van with a large insect painted on the side parked outside their villa. We understand both.
MELLS provides Dubai Municipality approved pest control across Dubai, applied by licensed technicians in unmarked vehicles, with a follow up visit included.
It is not a reflection on your home. It is a reflection on the climate.
Pest issues in Dubai carry a stigma that is completely undeserved. The best maintained villa in Emirates Hills faces the same underlying conditions as everywhere else in this city: constant warmth, irrigated landscaping, shared building services, and neighbouring construction that displaces whatever was living there into whatever is nearby. Ants find their way in along a pipe run. Cockroaches travel between apartments through drainage and service risers that have nothing to do with how clean your kitchen is.
Which is why the response should be professional rather than reactive. Supermarket sprays kill what you can see, which is the smallest and least important part of the problem, and often make things worse by scattering a colony into new areas of the property. Effective treatment works on the source, the nest, the harbourage points and the entry routes, and it requires knowing where those are.
Our treatments are DM approved and applied by trained, licensed technicians who work in occupied family homes, so products are selected with children and pets in the house as the assumption rather than the exception. We arrive in unmarked presentation, we work quietly, we explain what we found and what we did, and we tell you when the property will be safe to reoccupy. No one needs to know we were there.
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

View serviceWhy MELLS
Discretion is part of the service, not a favour
We treat a pest call the way we treat everything else in your home, quietly and without spectacle. Unmarked arrival, no branded uniforms unless you prefer them, no equipment left in view. You get a clear explanation of what was found, what was treated, what to expect over the following days and what to do to keep it from recurring. Then a follow up visit to confirm the treatment worked, because a single visit with no verification is not a solution, it is a hope.
Types of pest control we offer in Dubai
Most enquiries fall into one of these. If yours does not, describe the property and we will tell you what it actually needs.
General pest control
A treated, sealed perimeter and interior programme covering the common Dubai pests, applied by DM licensed technicians with products safe for occupied homes.
Cockroach treatment
Gel baiting and targeted application into harbourage points, drains and voids, followed by a scheduled recheck. One visit is rarely the answer.
Bed bug treatment
Heat and chemical protocol across frames, mattresses, skirting and adjacent rooms, with a mandatory follow up because the eggs survive the first pass.
Termite control
Soil and structural treatment, plus pre construction barriers. Termites in Dubai are a building problem before they are a pest problem.
Rodent control
Proofing first, baiting second. Blocking the entry point is what actually ends it.
Annual pest contract
Quarterly scheduled visits with a written record, which is what building management and landlords ask to see.

Areas we cover
Across Dubai
Same team, same equipment, same standard, wherever the property is.
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.
Frequently asked questions
What is the best 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 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.
How much does pest control cost in Dubai?
It depends on the property size and the treatment needed. General treatment for a villa is quoted after a survey, and an annual contract works out lower per visit.
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.
Who does pest control near me in Dubai?
MELLS covers Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Sharjah, residential and commercial, with licensed technicians.
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.
Handled quietly, properly, and once
Tell us what you have seen and where, and we will advise before we quote.

- Entry routes and harbourages left open
- No follow up visit built into the price
- Unlabelled products, with no re entry time given
- A marked vehicle parked outside your door
- The same call out again within two months
The MELLS method

- Clear re entry times given before we leave
- Follow up visits built into the programme
- Unmarked vehicle available on request
Worth a look
Signs you need pest control
No surprises, at any point
How the process works
Tell us about the property
A message on WhatsApp with the community and the size of the property is enough to start. No forms and no call centre.
A survey, usually the same day
A senior member of the team looks at the actual property rather than a price list, and notes what needs particular attention.
A written, itemised quotation
Sent the same day. It states what is included and what is not. No day rate creep and no line added at the end.
The team arrives fully equipped
Everything needed comes with them. There is nothing for you to buy, prepare or supply.
Supervised throughout
A supervisor is on site, not on the phone, and the work is checked as it progresses rather than only at the end.
You walk it with us
Nothing is signed off until you have seen it. Anything you are not happy with is put right before we leave.
