How to prevent scorpions from getting in your bed. – Greater Phoenix AZ

July 22, 2019 by Pest Control Mesa, AZ 2 Comments

Prevent Scorpions in Bed

Phoenix Scorpion ControlThere are several things you can do to prevent scorpions from getting in your bed! The most important thing to do is to hire an effective scorpion control service on a monthly basis. As you can imagine, the best solution to keeping scorpions out of your bed is an effective scorpion control service that keeps scorpions OUT of your house entirely.

BUT… If professional scorpion control is not an option where you live, you can prevent scorpions from getting in your bed with a few items and a little elbow grease. This is a good 5 step process to keep scorpions out of your bed… Sleep tight!

Step 1 – Your Bed

Move your bed away from the wall a couple inches and put the feet of your bed frame in glass mason jars! Scorpions can climb walls, but can’t climb smooth glass and won’t be able to climb from the floor onto your bed using glass jars this way!

Step 2 – Bedding

Make sure you keep all bedding up off the floor night and day. Scorpions like beds because they often seek shelter of bedding. There should never be anything left hanging from your bed onto the floor. Bark Scorpions love to climb, and can climb clothes, blankets, sheets, etc. from the floor into bed.

Step 3 – Hang a SMOOTH Surface

Get a piece of smooth glass or plastic a few inches longer and wider than your bed. Don’t use cardboard because it’s not a smooth surface and scorpions can climb upside-down on it. They key word here is smooth. Scorpions are great climbers as long as the surface has a little texture for them to hold onto.

Using strong fishing line or wire, hang your smooth surface from all four corners on the ceiling above your bed. The smooth surface should hang exactly over your bed but a few inches wider and longer than the bed on all sides. This will keep scorpions that are climbing on the ceiling from dropping into your bed. The smooth surface will catch any scorpions that drop, and because it’s wider and longer than your bed, scorpions falling from the ceiling fall on the floor instead of into your bed.

If you use a surface that is NOT smooth, scorpions will fall onto it then climb upside down on it above your bed and can still drop into your bed.

Step 4 – Seal Your Home

Sealing your home is another method to keep scorpions out of your home and thus out of your bed. However, scorpions easily enter homes through cracks as small as one sixteenth of an inch… That’s as thin as a credit card. This is best done by a professional contractor who knows everything about how your home is build and all the possible entry points. We like David Berrara and the professionals at We Seal It.

Step 5 – Black Lighting

Black-light scorpion inspections in the dark allow you to see any scorpions in your home or yard and then manually remove them. This will not prevent future scorpion problems, but is another way for you to sleep better at night. Mature scorpions glow a bright yellow/green under a blacklight in the dark. Scorpions can be collected using pliers and a glass jar that they can’t climb out of.

    HI Beverly! We’d love to help your daughters family eliminate scorpions around they home and yard! Average sized homes are $99 for the initial clean out, and $49 for the monthly maintenance. We do highly recommend the monthly pest & scorpion control maintenance because scorpions roam during the night and can reenter her home and yard after our products have worn off. Scorpions are one of the MOST difficult pests to control and they are extremely hardy. Hence, protective barriers must be kept up to keep scorpions out or they’ll re-infest.

    My daughter found an adult scorpion in her dirty laundry basket today. She’s seem a few of them outside in the past few months. Her landlord sprays for spiders but I don’t know if that would kill scorpions. They don’t have any extra money right now so I wanted to know how much it costs for your company to spray for scorpions. They have a 3,000 square foot house in Surprise AZ. If he landlord won’t pay for it then I’m going to pay for it. I worry about my grandchildren getting bit. When they moved into this house it sat empty for over a couple of years. My daughter and her 3 children have their mattresses on the floor. None of them have box springs or a bed frame. I don’t know what happened but they all did have them when they lived in their previous house in Gilbert AZ. The youngest grandchild is 2 years old so she sleeps in a crib. I hope to hear from you soon so I can calm my daughter’s fears. Thank you!
