Scorpions have been around for a long time. For a long time, it has been an extremely frustrating situation for many struggling with keeping them out of their homes. They’re not like an ant problem that is simple to eliminate. There has been no tried and true method in keeping them from our homes. That is, until the Pest Border Scorpion Pest Control Barrier System.
About Scorpion pest control, those who have tried usually follow the same route of pesticide application or natural alternatives. Without satisfaction, the next choice is home sealing and or black light hunting, again without satisfaction. Many believe it is just impossible to consistently get rid of them. Believe me, the pest control industry would not want it any other way.
The Bible makes note of these creatures numerous times— and not in a good way. I am sure you have heard the old saying about cockroaches. Even if we had a nuclear holocaust, cockroaches would be one of the few creatures left living. Another would be the scorpion.
Living in the desert with scorpions
Living in the desert, whether it be Arizona, Nevada, Saudi Arabia, etc…, we have been unable to consistently and effectively control or keep these creatures from entering our home or property. This is using conventional scorpion pest control. A key concern about Scorpion pest control is that for some, the occasional presence is not a concern. But for others it only takes one to change the way they live in their own home, for as long as they live there. At first, the home was a sanctuary to them, a place of comfort, and security. Then all of a sudden, it’s a place filled with hidden land mines. No more walking barefoot in their own homes, watching their every move, expecting to see one in a towel, on the couch, the bed, just about anywhere. Many have left their homes for this reason.
What makes scorpions so tough
These are very tough little creatures. Classified as arachnids (like spiders). What really makes them tough is two things. One they have an exoskeleton, basically a hard shell for a body. Two, they walk above the ground without dragging there under sides. Needless to say they can go without food or water for an extended period of time.
Why spraying pesticides doesn’t work for scorpions
So why do we have so much trouble in using scorpion pest control to keep them from entering our homes? About Scorpion pest control, first, I would like to say this posting is not about pesticides. It is also not about the hidden covered up extreme dangers to all other life including and especially to humans. Today’s pesticides can and do kill scorpions. But, in order to actually make the kill, the scorpion must have a sufficient exposure to said pesticide.
This means, if they are just to walk over a pesticide-treated area, this will not kill them. As I stated before, the scorpion walks with its body above the ground. The tips of their appendages being the only part of their body exposed has no effect on them.
If cracks or crevices around your home are treated, and a scorpion is either in that crack or crevice at the time of treatment or squeezes through and gets good exposure contact to their bodies, there is a good chance that scorpion will die.
So the scorpions that are walking through the rocks come to your home. They walk up the stem wall and slip into one of your weep holes. Or they walk up the wall and slip in a vent. They might walk up to the roof and enter through the tile, or even the one that just happens to be waiting at the door. All of them, whether they walk across a treated area or not, can make it into your home successfully. So whether it be pesticides, lavender, diatomaceous earth, natural sprays or powders, sealing, hunting, none of these will bring real comfort to the home.
How to keep scorpions out of your home in the desert
The answer to this age old problem has always been the obvious, so simple, it’s not rocket science. In one way we have been doing it already – putting the legs of your infants crib in glass jars. Central American natives have been lining the bottom of there huts with aluminum cans for decades. About scorpion pest control, scorpions among other pests are completely unable to climb up smooth surfaces.
Why do countries put up walls around their borders too tall to climb? Or why did kings build moats around their castles with crocodiles? Or electrified fences around areas that aren’t to be entered? To create an uncrossable barrier. Now, why not put an un-crossable barrier around your home? No more poisoning your family and the environment. At the same time, something that truly works. Please forward this to anyone that might be living in discomfort due to scorpions in their homes. See us at www.pestborders.com.
