How Common Are Scorpions
Scorpions are more common than most people believe, but they are such experts at staying hidden that we rarely see them. Making their dwellings in gardens, palm trees, and your home, scorpions want shelter, food, and water to survive and reproduce. Being nocturnal pests, scorpions are more challenging to find than other types of pests, but that only leads to the illusion of them being less prevalent.
How to Prevent Scorpions
Keeping scorpions out of your home is the first step to prevention. With an ability to climb into minuscule openings, cracks and crevices, that may include sealing up many gaps and holes around your property and foundation. Outside your home scorpions live in a variety of places, but prefer small spaces out of the sun and where plenty of water and food is available. Scorpions feast on other pests such as ants and cockroaches. For this reason, routine pest control services, where these other pests are less likely to be available food sources on your property, may help prevent scorpions from wanting to make your home their home.
