Scorpions are sinister-looking creatures with stingers on their tails and large pincers. They can be incredibly intimidating when someone is facing one inside their house. Many homeowners require assistance with scorpion control, so you are not alone.

This article will explain more about scorpions, including why they are a common problem and the level of danger they carry. We will also give some prevention tips that Sparks pest control companies use to help you keep these troublesome nuisances away from your home. Continue reading to learn how to eliminate scorpions with help from Celtic Pest Control.

Why Scorpions Are A Common Problem For Sparks Homeowners

Many scorpions have a preference for Sparks' semi-arid climate. We frequently find scorpions on properties that offer good places to burrow, including under rocks, logs, and debris. They will also stick around if there is plenty of prey, like crickets, cockroaches, and spiders.

When the temperatures outside get too hot for them, they will make their way indoors. Scorpions enter homes through wall voids, and you will most likely find them in cool, moist areas like crawl spaces and attics. Because these pests can sting, the safest way to get rid of scorpions in your Sparks home is to contact a local company like Celtic Pest Control for assistance with removal.

Why Scorpions Are A Dangerous Nuisance

Scorpions are primarily a nuisance, although some are more dangerous than others. The Arizona bark is the most dangerous scorpion, but we usually find them only in Southern Nevada. However, even a less hazardous type can cause problems.

Scorpions don't bite, they sting, and if they sting a person, they are usually just trying to defend themselves. For example, if a scorpion burrows in a child's sandbox, it may sting in defense when the child sits to play. Inside homes, you might trap one inside a shoe while putting it on and get a sting.

A scorpion sting is similar to a bee sting for an adult, with temporary pain, swelling around the site, and a burning sensation, but children and pets often have stronger reactions. We suggest you seek medical attention if there is any reaction outside of the typical symptoms. Like other stinging insects, it is possible for people who have been stung before to develop an allergic reaction to subsequent scorpion stings.

To get rid of scorpions on your property, contact Celtic Pest Control. Our technicians can safely remove these pests to prevent any further trouble.

How You Can Prevent Scorpions Around Your Sparks Property

The venom in different kinds of scorpions will produce different reactions, but no matter what, no one wants to deal with being stung.

Here are some helpful tips to keep scorpions away from your yard and house this summer:

  • Eliminate harborage sites on your property, including piles of wood, trash, and landscape stones or timbers.
  • Store firewood away from your home and on a raised structure.
  • Repair torn screens and seal any cracks or gaps on the exterior of your house.
  • Ensure the garage door fully closes, and the seal is not damaged.
