- Dust and vacuum in corners and normally undisturbed places where scorpions hide.
- Eliminate the scorpion's prey (crickets, spiders, and other insects) by using common pesticides.
- Common pesticides don't work well on scorpions. Contact a professional pest control company if considering applying chemicals.
- Eliminate outdoor places where scorpions can hide, such as trash piles, rock piles, decaying wood or piles of junk.
