Scorpion Control in South Texas

What are some things that I can do for scorpion control around my home?

Some of the steps necessary to achieve satisfactory results in scorpion control will include removing “accumulated clutter” around the home or structure that you want to protect, thus eliminating the habitat that scorpions prefer for living and hunting patterns. Also smart landscaping choices will include drought resistant turf grasses or shrubbery next to the home or structure, try not to put a rock garden or “scorpion condo” next to your home for obvious reasons. Do not stack firewood next to home but keep all firewood at least 10 to 20 ft away from home, this will also help prevent termite and carpenter ant infestations.

One of the self-control measures the homeowner can do is to spread a band of the fine ash from the fireplace or barbeque pit around the foundation of the structure. Scorpions do not like to cross the fine powder for it gets into their joints and exoskeletons and cuts the cuticle and they lose fluids and dehydrate. Also a thorough inspection of the exterior of the home like the one Hitman Pest Control provides, for cracks and crevices that can be sealed by either concrete, caulk or wire mesh products will dramatically reduce the infiltration of these dangerous pests.

These steps along with a professionally applied regular service treatments like the ones Hitman Pest Control offers will give you the results and peace of mind that you deserve.
