After a long disappearance due to the cold... Alert from the exit of insects and reptiles during the coming weeks

Arab weather - We witnessed in Jordan the beginning of a very cold spring and snow fell on some areas, which caused a delay in the exit of harmful reptiles. It is intense, especially in the Ghoria and Shafa Ghouria regions, while its release is delayed in the higher areas.

The start of the exit of insects and reptiles causes some inconvenience to residents and hikers, and some of them pose a threat to life (especially snakes and scorpions), which some consider one of the disadvantages of high temperatures, as these creatures threaten psychological peace and home security.

Therefore, caution must be taken by residents and hikers in those areas, and we advise the following:

• Choosing suitable places to sit, and not sitting in places where weeds, stones, rocks and burrows abound, because they form a haven for snakes, and scorpions usually hide under stones and between rocks.
• Do not leave children alone and watch them while playing and do not allow them to walk barefoot to protect them from the danger of snakes and scorpions.
• The need to get rid of weeds around homes or in their gardens, and to close all outlets and corners that snakes can harbor.
