🛡️ Scorpion Control Tips
- Seal all cracks, gaps, and entry points around doors, windows, and pipes
- Remove woodpiles, rock piles, and debris near the home — prime scorpion habitat
- Install weather stripping on doors and window screens
- Use sticky glue traps along baseboards and in corners
- Apply a residual perimeter insecticide (e.g. bifenthrin or cypermethrin) around the foundation
- Eliminate food sources — scorpions eat crickets, roaches, and other insects
- Shake out shoes, clothing, and towels before use
- Use a black light (UV flashlight) at night to spot scorpions — they glow bright green
- Consider professional treatment for bark scorpion infestations (Arizona/SW US)
