When someone lives in an area where deserts are present, they may have a scorpion problem within their home. Scorpions can become a pesky problem if steps are not taken to remove and deter them from the home. Most people will rely on Scorpions Extermination Service to remove these creatures if they are in abundance. If the problem is limited to just a few creatures, a homeowner can try some of the following steps to remove them on their own.
Keeping the home clean is one way to keep scorpions from wanting to stick around. Scorpions will hide during the daytime hours and come out when it is dark to scavenge the area for food and water. Cleaning all crumbs from the kitchen will make the area less desirable to these arachnids. Make sure there is no standing water in any area of the home as they will use it as a water source. Repair any plumbing troubles and tend to areas where leaking roofs or foundations occur.
Seal the home so scorpions do not make their way inside. This can be done using caulk to fill in any crevices found on the exterior of the home. Larger holes can be filled in with pieces of wool and then covered with flashing to keep all types of creatures out of the home.
If there is a bug problem inside the home, scorpions will stay in the area as they eat all types of insects. Use an appropriate pest control to remove these insects so scorpions do not have them available to feast upon.
Remove, any hiding places scorpions, may use during daylight hours. In the home, remove all clutter from the floors and place items on shelves instead. Keep curtains open, so sunlight comes into the home so any hiders’ may be seen.
Scorpions can be killed by stepping on them or using a pesticide made especially for this type of creature. Use a black light to find scorpions in the dark when they are most likely walking around. If someone wishes to remove all scorpions from their home and yard, they can call a Scorpions Extermination Service to do the job for them.
