In Phoenix, one of the biggest problems homeowners have is with scorpions. They can hide in small areas, easily sneak in through doors, and strike you when you least expect it. While there’s no way to eradicate scorpions completely, our team at ACTION Termite Control can help keep them away from the interior of your home. One big part of this is understanding why they come into your home in the first place. By making your environment less inviting, you can have a safer and more comfortable home to relax in.
1. Open Water Source
When the temperatures in Phoenix soar, scorpions will be looking for water to stay hydrated. They may come in through pipes or drains that lead into the kitchen or bathrooms. They can also come in through open doors and find their way to pet bowls for animals.
2. Piles of Leaves
If you have piles of leaves sitting in your back or front yard, you’ll want to carefully clean those up. These attract scorpions that may eventually find their way into your home. Any piles of wood, especially if they are rotting, should also be cleaned up as soon as possible.
3. Clutter
Excessive clutter around your home can attract scorpions that live nearby in the outdoors. If their habitat is disrupted and they see the mess inside, they will find their way in and make your home their own. Your best bet is to clean up and try to remove as much clutter from the floor as possible.
4. You Have Insects
Scorpions love insects, so if they see them in your home, they’re going to come in to get them. It’s important to get the insects out, whether this is through cleaning up or having our experts help you out.
