Without a doubt, having pests at home worries us a lot, but especially if they are scorpions. This really terrifies us and especially if we have young children, just knowing that their bites are painful and potentially dangerous to our health.

We must know that these feared animals only come out when they are going to reproduce, when they are looking for food or if they feel threatened. Most of the time, they are hidden in natural shelters.

But we are going to take a necessary and urgent measure for prevention, it is to try to identify where their nest is if they are already in the house.

Scorpions are arachnids that belong to the class Arachnida, there are about 1500 species of these dangerous animals. But only 30 of them have a poison that is as toxic as it is deadly to the human species, although it is unlikely that we will come across one of these. Obviously, we are not going to take risks and take it with our hands.

Keep in mind that only experts can identify one from the other, and scorpions are not animals that live in the city.

In any case, it is common to find these arachnids, so the best recommendation is not to harm them but to scare them away naturally. Let’s see how to find them at home:

First of all, we must understand that scorpions are hidden almost all the time. In fact, they bury themselves to keep themselves safe and that is why they hide in logs, under stones, in cracks and debris.

They can also arrive at our house in camouflage, in pots, in soil for plants, wood, etc. But they certainly go through the secure entrance, through doors, windows or spaces that allow you to enter our home.

If we detect that a scorpion or more entered our house, never grab it with our hands, better to look for the hiding place.

That is, we must urgently look in the fireplace if we have at home, in debris, in the garden or other objects that we locate at home.

While we are doing this search, it is essential to take measurements and cover or seal cracks where they can enter. As well as windows and doors if we see any cracks, all the possibilities we see are spaces through which they can enter.

A recommendation that serves as a repellent is the combination of lavender and cedar, it really scares away these animals.

Other recommendations:

• Let’s take out the trash regularly.
• Let’s not leave clothes lying on the floor.
• Let’s eliminate food sources that are out there.
• It is also important to fumigate our home.
• It is essential to clean our shoes and check them before putting them on.
• Do not leave traces of construction materials on the floor.
• It is essential to place grates in the house, any entry must be blocked.
• As we already mentioned, having plants scares them away, for example: lavender plant, cedar, rosemary, citrus, among others.
