How to Get Rid of Scorpions
Scorpion Quick Facts:
1. A full-size scorpion can squeeze into a crack the width of a credit card.
2. Adult scorpions can live six to eight months without food. A scorpion's diet consists of live insects and their favorite food is crickets.
3. Female scorpions give birth to their babies alive; they do not lay eggs like other pests do. There are typically 20 - 30 babies born at one time. Immediately following birth, baby scorpions crawl onto their mother's back where they will stay for about two weeks until they are ready to survive on their own.

- Stack lumber and firewood piles away from the home and up off of the ground.
- Remove leaf litter and bark chips next to the home.
- Do not put large stones such as river rock or rip-rap next to the home - keep it at least six feet away.
- Keep tree limbs, shrubs and bushes trimmed so they do not contact the home.
- Eliminate moisture directly next to the home - leaking hose bibs and air conditioner condensation lines are sources to look for.
