Scorpion Control

A

n arachnid having a long body, abruptly ending in a long, slender tail formed of six joints, the last of which bears a very sharp and poisonous sting. A Sting from this animal give excruciating pain, but it is very seldom, if ever, fatal to man. The eyes of the scorpion, which are the simple kind, number six, eight or twelve. The female carries her young on her back for several days after they are hatched and tends them carefully for about a month, until they are able to shift for themselves. Scorpions generally live in dark places and under stones. They are found in the United states and various other parts of the world.

 

S

ome of the steps necessary to achieve satisfactory results in scorpion control will include removing “accumulated clutter” around the home or structure that you want to protect, thus eliminating the habitat that scorpions prefer for living and hunting patterns.

Also smart landscaping choices will include drought resistant turf grasses or shrubbery next to the home or structure, try not to put a rock garden or “scorpion condo” next to your home for obvious reasons. Do not stack firewood next to home but keep all firewood at least 10 to 20 ft away from home, this will also help prevent termite and carpenter ant infestations. One of the self-control measures the homeowner can do is to spread a band of the fine ash from the fireplace or barbecue pit around the foundation of the structure.

Scorpions do not like to cross the fine powder for it gets into their joints and exoskeletons and cuts the cuticle and they lose fluids and dehydrate. Also a thorough inspection of the exterior of the home like the one Premium Pest Management provides, for cracks and crevices that can be sealed by either concrete, caulk or wire mesh products will dramatically reduce the infiltration of these dangerous pests.

These steps along with a professionally applied Scorpion Control Treatment like the one Premium Pest Management offers you will have the results and peace of mind that you deserve.
