I have been getting many questions lately regarding how the scorpions actually get inside the home. During the summer when it is hot outside people tend to crank up the AC. When the hot air from the outside meets the cold air on the inside it creates condensation inside the walls. Similar to what happens to your car windows on a cold morning. When a home is built it has to have ways for the moisture to escape. So homes are built with little openings in the foundation. If you live in a brick or stone home you have what’s called weep holes. Weep holes are little spaces between the brick that look like it’s missing the mortar. If you live in a stucco home you have what’s called a J Rail. By using a mirror and looking under the over hang around the foundation you will see little holes every 3-6 inches big enough for the scorpions to get in. When the scorpions get close to our walls they can feel the cool air coming out of the holes and it draws them inside.

As a Scorpion specialist one of the most common questions that I am asked is How are the scorpions getting into my home in the first place? Or I found a Scorpion in my kids room up stairs how did it get there? Well even though it might not be pleasant to think about the facts are, Scorpions get into our home through openings that are only 1/16^th of an inch. Once inside the walls of the house they use the electrical wiring to move through out the voids of the walls, kind of like there own little high way. Because the wiring runs throughout the entire home they can follow it into any room of the home and find any crack the size of a credit card to get out. Most common places are around the outlet covers, vents in the ceiling, where the pipes come out of the wall under the sink or even in the shower or bathtub, and in some cases they will come out by ceiling lights.
