Home Pest Snagging Dubai | Pre-Handover Pest Detection UAE

Pests Don’t Belong in Your New Home

Your property may look perfect on the surface — but behind the walls or under the tiles, pests could already be moving in.

Home pest snagging is a critical part of property inspection that identifies signs of infestation or pest-related damage before you move in, rent out, or release final payment to a developer.

Whether it’s a new apartment, villa, or resale unit, ignoring pest issues can lead to costly treatments, health concerns, and long-term damage.


What Is Pest Snagging?

Pest snagging is a specialized part of property snagging inspection focused on detecting:

  • 🐜 Termite infestations
  • 🐁 Rodent or rat access points
  • 🦟 Insect breeding sites
  • 🕷️ Spiders and hidden nests
  • 🪳 Cockroach activity in kitchens/bathrooms
  • 🐍 Entry points for outdoor pests (villas)

Unlike basic pest control checks, this is performed during the property snagging stage using tools and expertise to catch early warning signs.


Why Home Pest Snagging Is Important in Dubai

Dubai’s warm, humid climate creates a perfect breeding ground for pests — especially in:

  • Newly completed homes with gaps/sealing issues
  • Resale units with closed or vacant interiors
  • Poorly ventilated bathrooms, kitchens, or basements
  • Villas with gardens, patios, or ground-floor access

Early signs of pests are often missed by regular contractors — but a certified home snagging team is trained to inspect beyond the surface.


What We Check During Pest Snagging

Bathroom DrainsPest entry points, blocked traps, standing water

We also inspect for foul odors, insect wing piles, moisture-prone zones, and use thermal imaging to detect unseen nests or wall activity.


Real Case: Pest Snagging in a Dubai Apartment

A buyer booked us for a pre-handover snagging in Jumeirah Village Circle (JVC). While the unit appeared clean, our inspection found:

  • Termite droppings under the built-in wardrobe
  • Cracked sealant around balcony sliding doors
  • Small cockroach presence near kitchen floor tiles
  • Drain smell indicating stagnant water in traps

The report helped the owner get pest treatment done by the developer before taking handover — avoiding a potential infestation.
