Why are more Scorpions being found in Gilbert, Arizona?
There are pockets of scorpions in neighborhoods throughout Gilbert, Arizona. With the accelerated pace of new building and new neighborhoods, it’s inevitable that an increase in Scorpions will be seen indoors and outdoors.
If you find a scorpion in your home, most times they will be seen on your white ceiling or the highest spot in your home where it is the warmest.
Outdoors, Scorpions congregate in palms trees and cracks in block walls. They also hide in burrows or debris, under wood, stones, or tree bark, and under floors of buildings in crawl spaces.
When moving, be aware of moving boxes… scorpions may hitch a ride in the warm box and travel with you!
When it’s cold out are the Scorpions gone?
You may think that the cooler weather is killing the Scorpions. Unfortunately that isn’t true. Scorpions are resilient. When it’s cold out they hide in warm places indoors and outdoors. If disturbed, they will become active!
How do Scorpions get in houses?
Indoors scorpions may be found in cracks and crevices of woodwork, behind baseboards, in closets and attics, and inside walls. Scorpions gain entry into buildings through poorly sealed doors and windows, cracks in foundations, attic vents that are not properly screened, and through plumbing and other openings.
