Scorpion Prevention & Safety Tips

How can I prevent scorpions from entering my home?

Seal cracks and crevices, remove debris and clutter, eliminate water sources, keep vegetation trimmed away from structures, and use weather stripping around doors and windows.

When are scorpions most active?

Scorpions are nocturnal and most active during warm nights. They're also more active during mating season (spring and early summer) and when seeking water during dry periods.

What should I do if I find a scorpion in my house?

Don't try to handle it yourself. Use a long-handled tool to capture it or call us for immediate removal. Check for others - where there's one, there may be more.

Are scorpion stings always dangerous?

Not all scorpion stings are medically significant, but bark scorpion stings can be dangerous, especially for children, elderly, or those with compromised immune systems. Always seek medical evaluation.

How do I scorpion-proof my yard?

Remove wood piles, rocks, and debris. Keep grass short, eliminate standing water, seal outdoor structures, and consider professional perimeter treatments.

Do scorpions travel in groups?

While scorpions are generally solitary, they may be found in higher numbers in areas with good habitat conditions. Mother scorpions also carry babies on their backs.
