Common Scorpion Problem Areas
Garages & Storage Areas
Dark corners, boxes, equipment, and stored materials can provide shelter for scorpions.
Foundations & Exterior Walls
Scorpions may travel along foundations and exterior walls while searching for shelter or prey. Structural gaps may also provide indoor access.
Landscaping & Rock Areas
Rocks, dense ground cover, landscaping materials, and outdoor debris can create protected hiding spaces.
Woodpiles & Outdoor Storage
