Does Home Sealing Work For Scorpion Pest Control?

MANY OF OUR CLIENTS HAD THEIR HOMES SEALED FOR SCORPION PEST CONTROL BEFORE COMING TO US AND ARE REGRETFUL THAT THEY SPENT THAT MONEY BEFORE FINDING PEST BORDERS.

THERE ARE MANY REASONS WHY THE HOME SEALING PROCEDURE IS FAR FROM AN EFFECTIVE SCORPION PEST CONTROL SOLUTION. BUT BY FAR THE MOST IMPORTANT ONE IS CONCERNING WHAT IS CALLED WEEP HOLES ON YOUR HOME.

SEE PHOTO BELOW

IF YOU LIVE IN A STUCCO HOME, WHERE THE STUCCO MEETS THE CEMENT STEM WALL WHICH IS THE RISE FROM THE FOUNDATION THERE IS A METAL FOOTING THAT EVERY FEW INCHES HAS A CIRCULAR HOLE TO ALLOW AIR TO FLOW INTO THE INNER WALL IN ORDER TO KEEP THE WOOD DRY AND PREVENT MOLD.

THESE HOLES CANNOT BE COVERED UP. MOST OF THE TIME THE HOME SEALING COMPANY IS NOT GOING TO TELL YOU THIS BECAUSE THEY CANNOT SEAL THEM. S0 AROUND THE COMPLETE PERIMETER OF YOUR HOME YOU HAVE HUNDREDS OF THESE OPENINGS INTO YOUR WALLS WHERE NOT ONLY SCORPIONS BUT MANY OTHER PESTS ENTER INTO THE WALLS AND THEN EVENTUALLY FIND A WAY INTO THE HOME.

THE PEST BORDER BARRIER GOES DIRECTLY ON THE STEM WALL BENEATH THE WEEP HOLES PREVENTING SCORPIONS AND MANY OTHER PESTS FROM THE VERY FIRST ENTRY POINT ON YOUR HOME.

WOW HOME SEALING CANNOT EVEN STOP SCORPIONS FROM THE VERY FIRST ENTRY POINT ON YOUR HOME JUST INCHES FROM THE GROUND.

This photo shows the weep holes and gaps that allow entry of scorpions and pests. Home sealing companies cannot and will not seal the weep holes. Instead, they will fill the gap between the footing and the stem wall.

However, they are not allowed to cover the weep holes (see below image). Fortunately for this home owner you can see they installed a Pest Border.

LOOKS LIKE THEY ARE CLIMBING TO ME.
