Stop Scorpions From Invading In Las Vegas
While most scorpions don't have venom potent enough to present a threat, the most venomous scorpion in North America lives right here in our backyard. This could be literal for you. Fortunately, these dangerous arachnids aren't looking to sting you. They're not aggressive, but they will attack if they are disturbed or threatened.
Most Las Vegas area residents know the general rules about scorpions. Don't stick your hand in a hole, wear gloves when working in the yard, and don't walk around in your lawn at night without footwear, but there is more to it than this. Whether you're a homeowner looking to protect yourself and your family, or you're a business owner hoping to safeguard against this threat, here are a few things you should know.
General Scorpion Prevention Tips
- Bark scorpions are good climbers and will scale the sides of structures like they would the bark on a tree. Be sure to inspect the exterior of your property and seal any entry points they might use to get inside.
- Bark scorpions will scale the skirting on a bed or climb up a blanket. If you've seen scorpions on your property, consider removing bed skirts, and don't let bedding or sheets touch the floor at night. If you're a business owner, consider providing a fact sheet for your tenants, customers, or clients.
- Bark scorpions hide in dark, undisturbed locations. Be cautious when going into attic spaces or storage areas.
- Bark scorpions get into holes. While you should be cautious when putting your hand in a hole, these arachnids can also hide in many places that look like holes, such as shoes, boots, clothing piles on the floor, bedding, crumpled up towels, etc. Always shake things out before use.
