Types of Scorpion Control Methods We Use

Our scorpion control experts understand the unique behaviors of these pests, including what attracts them and where they tend to hide. We leverage this knowledge to implement multi-faceted control programs that effectively target scorpion invaders.  

We often recommend one or more of the following scorpion control strategies when dealing with an infestation:

• Pesticide application. We can apply a professional-grade residual insecticide around the perimeter of your home or commercial building, including the foundation, doorways, and window frames. This creates a protective barrier that eliminates scorpions as they try to enter. We can also treat cracks, crevices, and other potential entry points.
• Dust and granule treatments. We can use insecticide dust in voids and other inaccessible areas where scorpions hide. Granules are effective in yards and landscaping, as they target scorpions at their source. Applying these products in different formulations helps us reach scorpions no matter where they are.
• Blacklight inspections. At night or in dark areas, we can use a blacklight to find scorpions. This specialized inspection allows us to identify their hiding spots, such as around landscaping rocks, block walls, and other debris. This helps us better target our treatments.
• Exclusion services. We can identify and seal cracks, gaps, and other openings that scorpions use to enter your home or business. This may include weather-stripping doors and windows, caulking around pipes and wires, and repairing damaged screens. 
• Habitat modification. Our team can advise on and take steps to make your property less attractive to scorpions. This includes removing debris, woodpiles, and yard clutter. We also recommend trimming back shrubs and tree branches from the side of your home. Reducing harborage areas makes it more difficult for scorpions to thrive near your house.

How Should I Prepare for a Scorpion Control Service?

To help us perform the most effective scorpion control service possible, we ask that you do a few things before we arrive. These steps help our technicians more efficiently apply treatments where scorpions live and hide.

Start with the exterior of your property. Clear away any debris from around the foundation of your home or business, including piles of wood, rocks, or other stored items. We also need you to unlock any gates to your backyard or side yards so we can access every part of the exterior.

Inside, please pick up any clutter, such as shoes, clothes, or toys, from your floors, especially in rooms and closets where you have seen scorpions. We need to access baseboards, corners, and other dark spaces. For kitchens and laundry rooms, we ask that you move appliances like the refrigerator, washer, and dryer a few inches from the wall, if possible, so we can treat the areas behind them. If you have any food or dishes on countertops, please put them away. Giving us clear access to these areas helps us apply our treatments where scorpions may be hiding.

Signs of a Scorpion Infestation

Because some scorpion stings can cause real harm, it is always in your best interest to address a potential infestation as quickly as possible. The sooner you reach out to our team at Burns Pest Elimination, the sooner we can get to work on restoring peace of mind.

You likely have a scorpion problem that needs to be addressed if you spot any of the following warning signs:

• Live scorpions inside. The most definitive sign of a scorpion problem is finding live scorpions inside your home or business. These pests often enter buildings through small cracks and gaps. They usually appear at night, but you might find them during the day hiding in dark, secluded spots like closets, basements, or garages. If you find them in places like sinks, bathtubs, or even in a bed, they are likely actively seeking water and shelter.
• Shed exoskeletons. Scorpions shed their exoskeletons as they grow. You may find these translucent, scorpion-shaped molts around your property, especially near baseboards, in closets, or under furniture.
• Stings. If someone in your household or business experiences an unexplained sting, a scorpion could be to blame. While most stings are not life-threatening, a scorpion lurking in your home or business may attack if accidentally stepped on or brushed against. 
• Other pest problems. Scorpions prey on other insects, including crickets, spiders, and cockroaches. If you notice an abundance of these other pests, it may attract scorpions to your property, so don’t overlook other signs of a potential scorpion infestation.
