Scorpion Pest Control & Landscaping

Too much lush landscaping OUTSIDE often produces scorpion & pest control problems INSIDE! Especially when it’s right up next to the foundation.

 
Most homeowners, and landscape designers, do not realize that lush landscaping attracts unwelcome PESTS are attracted to lush landscaping and it often contribute to pest PROBLEMS inside the home or office! Lush landscaping that is heavily watered provides scorpions, insects and rodents with everything they need to THRIVE: Food, Water, and Shelter.

Mulch

Mulch can be a great ground cover and really helps keep plants moist in the hot Arizona desert, but it also hold moisture that attracts pests! Scorpions seek moisture for themselves and their prey… Roaches, Crickets, beetles, EARWIGS, Termites and other pests THRIVE in moist conditions. Too much mulch right up next to your foundation is a recipe for pest infestations.

Termites seek moisture and when it’s right next to the house they’ll come right in! Scorpions have to reserve body moisture in the heat and seek moist areas. Bark mulch is a prime shelter for scorpions, plus they usually find other bugs to eat in there too.

You can keep your mulch and keep Termites, pests, and scorpions controlled if you keep mulch under three inches thick!

OVER-WATERING

Most watering systems are set daily, but every 2 – 3 days is sufficient to keeps plants GREEN but also keep pests CONTROLLED. Keeping soil and mulch around the foundation too wet creates the PERFECT conditions for TERMITES, earwigs, millipedes, cockroaches, crickets, ANTS, and other pests.

Pests close to the home or office enter the building through nearby weep holes, gaps or cracks in the construction, expansion joints. Rodents, scorpions and other pests also get in through and through windows & doors that don’t have good enough weather stripping or door sweeps. So make sure your not over watering!

Plants TOO Close

Plants and bushes that are planted too close to the foundation {or not trimmed back from the building} allow ANTS, Rodents, and other pests, to trail strait onto the building.

VINES and thick ground cover plants are also very conducive to PESTS – attracting rats, mice, and other insects! Plant shrubs far enough away, or trim existing grass and bushes away, from the foundation and make sure they do not contact your home, office, or building!
