Member since: 29 April 2007 Total points: 5143 (Level 5) Add to My Contacts Block User You can prevent scorpions from entering your home by following the steps below:Remove/ Cover all trash Remove unneeded rock piles Loose boards, wood piles, rocks, and debris should be eliminated from areas about homes, particularly near foundation walls.Seal openings in outside walls with mortar or caulking and weather-strip doors Screen doors, windows and vents Keep wood piles away from the house and ground Repair or prevent wet areas caused by leaks Eliminate dense ground cover. It provides harborage, and restricts pesticide penetration. Shrubs should be pruned to expose the trunk and ground around the plant.Keep homes insect free to eliminate a scorpion's food source. Do not reach under rocks or logs with bare hands. Do not go barefoot at night in rocky or dry terrain. If your home becomes infested, apply insecticides that are approved for home use at foundation and chimney bases as well as in cellars and crawl spaces. 6 months ago 2 Rating: Good Answer 1 Rating: Bad Answer Report It Sorry, you must be Level 2 to rate Open Questions in Zoology Are house cats really closely related to wild kittys?
