What separates you from the competition? This question is the key to any marketing strategy and often the key to success for any business. Although some may venture through life never asking this question, enjoying success, and never giving any thought to the multiple variables that make them successful.  Again, what separates you from the [...]

So this was totally unexpected phone call yesterday.  It was during the AM rush hour.  My phone rings.  The next thing I hear is “Help there is a Scorpion on my dashboard!” WOW.  That was unexpected.

This guy calls me on his way to work in Phoenix and tells me that he has scorpion crawling across his dashboard.  He wants to know what to do, if he should pull over, is it going to sting him…  “How do I get rid of the scorpion!”

Well, the first thing you need to do is not aggravate the scorpion.  Yelling probably doesn’t help sense they are highly sensitive to vibrations, although if you are driving they extra noise won’t make much difference.  So here are the tougher questions…

How did the scorpion get into my car?

Probably climbed up the tire, down the axle, up the engine and into the ventilation system since that is going to have some nice moisture to drink.  Keep in mind that any crack the with of a credit card is a nice open door for a scorpion. Besides if a kitten can climb up a tire and get stuck in a car vent then a scorpion most certainly can… really happened, we had a kitten get stuck in our VW van’s vent when I was a kid… Don’t worry, we saved him.

So back to the scorpion… tire, or fell on to the hood, followed moisture, went into your vent, came out of vent inside of your car and on the dashboard.

How do I get rid of this Scorpion in my car?

Well, I wouldn’t advise spraying your car with pestisides, unless you were seeing a lot of scorpions in your car, but even then I think you should probably spray your garage first and see if that solves the problem.  And you don’t want to use powders on your dashboard, because who knows where they would end up.

My advice is to kill it with your shoe (boots work better then high heels).

Actually the best tip I can give you is to set some sticky traps in your car.  Put some down by your feet at night and up on the dashboard.  Wedge it against the corner of the window and the dash.  Scorpions like to walk along walls since they are pretty much blind.

Ideally you should have your home and garage sprayed regularly to keep the local scorpion population down.

A recent scorpion request for help in Las Vegas -

“My family moved into a new home in 3/09.  Since we have been in the home we have seen 6 scorpions in the downstairs area.  We have a pest control service that comes once a month, but they are unable to treat scorpions.  We have young children and would like to get this situation handled.” – Jadon D.

Jadon, I understand your concern for your children and yes we can help you! Having 6 scorpions in less then 3 months sounds like a pretty good scorpion problem… but I have seen worse.  And while scorpions may be difficult to control we can do it! And with regular service there after we can keep the scorpions from come back.
