THE SMARTEST CHOICE IN SCORPION CONTROL

Controlling scorpions also requires more than just great products and technicians, it requires an Integrated Pest Management (IPM) approach for control. Each client will receive a custom plan to make their property less welcoming to scorpions by following simple home improvement and landscaping techniques. Each infestation needs to be handled differently, but it is important for every Arizona resident to:

  • Remove hiding places: Eliminate piles of lumber, bricks, cardboard, clutter and other stacked items that create clusters of tight spaces, especially ones close to the structure and in the garage.
  • Landscaping: Keep the yard clear of dead leaves, tall grass, and other debris that creates shade and shelter.
  • Excess Moisture: Scorpions need water just like we do and thrive on excess moisture. Fix any leaking pipes or plumbing. Do not over water your grass and vegetation, and ensure the ground slopes properly away from the structure so there is no standing water.
  • Exclusion: Limit any and all entry points by fitting all doors and windows with tight-fitting weather-stripping. Other potential entry points should be screened or caulked; including vents, window casings, and plumbing and electrical entrances. Ensure doors have sufficient door sweeps and tight fitting thresholds on the bottom with no cracks larger than 1/16 of an inch. Seal with expanding foam or caulk all cracks and crevices around the foundation of the house. Green Home Pest Control offers home sealing services, call us for a quote or fill out our online form.
