Hello,
It seems you have deployed your event receiver globally and it is applied to all the lists. I can suggest two ways:
1. Either you update your event receiver feature.xml file and attached to specific list, wherever you want. You can follow below link to attach event with specific list via code:

Or instead of code you can also pass ListUrl in feature.xml file:

2. OR delete event receiver from the list: You can use below code in your timer job to delete event receiver
