Why University Termite and Pest Control for Scorpions

Scorpions present one of the most difficult challenges to control. Because of their thick body armor and ability to cover large areas quickly, Scorpions require several different methodologies to control. Exclusion is the first and most important step to an effective Scorpion Control Program is exclusion. A careful survey is done of your home. This may include one or more visits at night. Aided by a black light, technicians will determine access points into the home and seal them from entry. Because Scorpions can fit into some very tight places, it is necessary to seal even the smallest entry into the house. This can include electrical accesses, hose bibs, air conditioning vents and other openings into the house. This is supplemented by a careful inspection of all window and door seals. Any seals found to be in less than optimal condition will be replaced in order to limit access to Scorpions. Once the home has been properly sealed, a variety of products will be employed to further hinder the Scorpion's ability to enter your home. These products will be placed into voids, under thresholds and other areas we know that Scorpions like to hide on their way into your home.
