The Scorpion Problem
The highly venomous bark scorpion is an avid climber that does not dwell on the ground.  They are attracted to our properties by moisture and desirable micro-climates.  They populate in our block walls and structure of our homes.  Where one travels many more can follow.  When they become sickly from insecticides or other factors they can show up almost anywhere in our homes.  This makes us very vulnerable to stings in our bathrooms, bedrooms and often beds.  Even if not stung, scorpions can make it so we cannot relax in our own homes.  When living with scorpions, one can find themselves constantly scanning for these creatures inside.

When it relates to scorpions, most insecticide applications are ineffective and often flush more of the creatures in.  While a technician may state that their insectides kill scorpions, this does not mean it will control scorpions from getting into your home.  Often residents are given unrealistic expectations, bad information or inappropriate strategy plans.  One of the most common strategies is to "control the food source".  This is not effective because scorpions can go many months without food, they eat each other or they can catch a flying insect.  There are also sealing services that do not provide optimal results.  Putting blind faith in many pest control technicians results in wasted time, expense and leads to more frustration due to poor results.  It is essential there is a good understanding by technician and resident about the science of scorpions and the strategic, methodical steps required to keep them out as immediately as possible.
