Call For Immediate Pest Control For Scorpions 

Yes, Barefoot professional scorpion control can eliminate your scorpion problem in Texas. Scorpions are common in our warm climate, with species such as the striped bark scorpion seen the most around large cities. 

We may use targeted insecticides in spots where scorpions hide, such as crevices and cracks around the home perimeter. We also recommend eliminating debris, sealing entry points like doors and windows, and removing standing water; scorpions like water. Our success rates for removing scorpions are high with regular treatments.

Homeowners with scorpion infestations should immediately contact a professional pest control company. We may use residual insecticides that penetrate the pests’ tough exoskeletons and provide 90 days or more of protection. These chemicals are usually deployed around home entrances, hiding spots, and the perimeter. 

For an occasional scorpion in the home, you can try glue traps for scorpions and various consumer scorpion sprays. But call for professional assistance if you see scorpions often on your property.

Several proven methods can eliminate occasional scorpions on your property. The most crucial step is eliminating hiding spots and their ability to enter the property. Clear clutter in the house, seal entry points – including cracks and gaps around doors and windows – and trim vegetation outside the home. Bushes, trees, and vines on the home exterior are easy entryways for scorpions. 

Also, water and food sources should be removed for scorpions. You must eliminate roaches, spiders, and crickets on your property with insect repellants or traps. 

You should call for professional service if you have a severe infestation or live in a place with a large, natural scorpion population.

These are the best ways to keep scorpions out of your home: 

• Seal entryways: Check for cracks in doors, windows, and walls. Seal gaps with weather stripping or caulk. Scorpions can squeeze through tiny spaces, so be thorough.
• Eliminate food sources: Scorpions are attracted to areas with abundant prey, such as insects, such as crickets, roaches, and ants. Reduce their food supply by keeping your home clean, sealing food containers, and using pest control methods like diatomaceous earth or boric acid for insects.
• Remove hiding zones: Scorpions love dark, cluttered areas. Clear out piles of wood, rocks, or debris around your property. Trim bushes and keep grass short to reduce shaded, moist areas where they thrive.

Finding scorpions in your house is alarming, but there are some common reasons why they might be showing up. Scorpions are usually looking for three things: shelter, water, or food. Here’s why you may see scorpions at home:  Here’s a breakdown of why they might be creeping in:

• Moisture: Scorpions need water. Leaky faucets, pet bowls, or even damp towels can encourage scorpions to appear.
• Environment: Scorpions are more common if you live in an arid area like much of Texas. They thrive in warm, dry climates and might wander indoors during extreme heat or rainy seasons to escape the weather.
• Entry points: Check for cracks in doors, windows, or walls. Scorpions can flatten their bodies to squeeze through gaps as small as 1/8 inch. Unsealed pipes or gaps around utility lines could be scorpion highways into your home.
• Food supply: They’re predators, so if you’ve got crickets, roaches, or other bugs inside, scorpions might follow. 
• Hiding spots: Clutter, such as piles of clothes, boxes, or firewood, provides a cozy place for them to hide. Since they are nocturnal, they will also chill in dark, undisturbed areas during the day. 

Our pest control professionals may use various pesticides to treat your scorpion problem. We usually use lower quantities of pesticides than other companies, without sacrificing effectiveness: 

Pest control companies use a variety of chemicals to target scorpions, focusing on insecticides that are effective against their tough exoskeletons and unique biology. Commonly used chemicals include:

• Deltamethrin: Widely used for indoor and outdoor scorpion control, this insecticide disrupts their nervous system for a quick kill. It’s found in many professional pest control products.
• Cypermethrin: A synthetic pyrethroid that attacks the scorpion’s nervous system, causing paralysis and death. It’s often applied as a spray around perimeters and hiding spots like basements or garages.
• Bifenthrin: Another synthetic pyrethroid, valued for its long-lasting residual effects. When appropriately applied, it can keep scorpions at bay for weeks, making it ideal for ongoing protection.

You should call for pest control for scorpions if you see scorpions daily or weekly in your home. In Texas, a stray scorpion can work its way indoors once in a while. However, seeing large numbers regularly indicates a scorpion problem.
