As temperatures rise, scorpions become more active, often seeking cool, shaded places to hide around homes and yards. A few simple maintenance steps can help reduce attractive hiding spots and improve safety for your household. 🦂🔥☀️
Common places scorpions may hide include:
• Decorative rock landscaping
• Irrigation valve boxes
• Dense ground cover or overgrown plants
• Firewood stacks
• Gaps in block walls
• Outdoor storage areas or cluttered sheds
• Under patio furniture, pots, mats, and other items left undisturbed
Helpful prevention tips:
✔ Keep landscaping trimmed and clear away debris
✔ Inspect irrigation boxes and repair leaks
✔ Store firewood off the ground and away from walls
✔ Organize sheds and storage spaces to reduce clutter
✔ Move patio items occasionally and check underneath before handling
A little prevention can go a long way in reducing unwanted summer visitors around your home.
