How to keep scorpions away

Here are some practical steps you can take to help prevent a scorpion infestation on your property:

  • Seal entry points: Inspect your home for cracks, gaps, and openings around doors, windows, and foundations. Use caulk or weather stripping to seal these entry points and keep scorpions out.
  • Remove hiding spots: Clear away debris, woodpiles, rocks, and clutter from around your property where scorpions like to hide.
  • Reduce moisture: Fix leaky pipes, faucets, and air conditioning units. Scorpions are attracted to moisture, so keeping your home dry can help deter them.
  • Keep landscaping trimmed: Trim bushes, shrubs, and trees away from your home's exterior to eliminate pathways scorpions might use to access your property.
  • Store firewood properly: Keep firewood stacked away from your home and elevated off the ground.
  • Professional scorpion pest control: For scorpion prevention, consider enrolling in our PestFree365 plan. Our technicians will regularly inspect and treat your property to help keep scorpions away year-round.

How do I get rid of scorpions permanently?

Getting rid of any pest permanently can be challenging: if entry points open up or certain conditions return, pests can appear. The best chances of preventing any pest for long durations of time are through professional pest control. With our scorpion pest control services, we use targeted treatments tailored to your space and proactive monitoring.

Frequently asked questions

Scorpions enter homes searching for food, water, and shelter. They slip through tiny entry points like cracks in foundations, gaps around doors and windows, and openings where utilities enter your property.

Scorpion pest control can help protect your family from painful stings that can cause serious reactions, especially in children and pets. Professional treatment helps to address the root of the scorpion infestation and provides long-term scorpion prevention.

Signs include spotting scorpions at night (they're nocturnal), finding them in dark, damp areas like bathrooms or basements, or discovering their molted exoskeletons. You might also notice an increase in their prey, such as crickets or cockroaches, which attract scorpions to your property.

Scorpions hide in cool, dark spaces like under rocks, woodpiles, and debris outside, and inside they seek out closets, attics, crawl spaces, and behind appliances. They're also commonly found in shoes, folded towels, and other undisturbed items.

Call a scorpion exterminator as soon as you spot even one scorpion in your home, as this can indicate more are nearby. It's especially important to contact professionals if you have children, pets, or anyone with health concerns, or if you're seeing scorpions regularly.
