Scorpion Services
Scorpion sealing is an effective scorpion deterrent that reduces scorpion entry points without affecting the health or aesthetics of the home. The service provides an added bonus of weatherization for less dust and lower utility bills.
To protect your home from scorpions, it is necessary to comprehensively seal the house. Interior seals provide immediate and primary protection. The focus is to eliminate all possible points of entry and identify any vulnerable areas for secondary strategies. Exterior seals sole purpose is to reduce points of entry so that landscape, repellent and insecticide strategies can be more effective while allowing the home to still ventilate and breathe.
Our full service provides the most comprehensive layers of protection against scorpions from the inside out.
